Had my interview day before yesterday. Got an Admit today...:). I had some doubts if any could please clarify...
The expected total tuition fees for two year MBA, it is USD 57/59K or USD 114K / 118K ?
Does that include expenses towards Global Consulting Program? If not how much expected it could be?
And do we have any options of scholarship outside the school?

PS: I am an International student?

Your reply will help. Thank you. And all the best to those who are yet to be interviewed, if you need to ask anything, I can share my experience.


Would you be enrolling at UIUC this Fall??

Hi everyone!

Is there any international student applied for R3 got admission?

I had my interview in early March and still heard nothing until now. Should I stop looking for positive results at this point?

Any information will be appreciated!

Hi, I am an international applicant. I applied to UIUC around mid Feb.
I haven't heard from the Add Comm since.
I emailed them a couple of times, they said they are still reviewing the application.

Any idea about placement scenario for international students at Illinois MBA?
Considering the H1B visa gamble, how willing are the companies to hire the international students from UIUC?

VoyagerII any insights on this?

I spoke to an international student but all i got was that its difficult for international students (and that its the same across all B schools) but some companies do hire international MBA grads and even sponsor for visa. But what if you don't win the visa lottery?

Anyone has any info on this?

Thank you. There are about 46 students in this Facebook group now. Do you think the adcom will still be giving more admissions for international students at this point?

Congrats Keats on your great news!!!

VoyagerII: Thanks. Since I'm not on fb, and learned about the fact that there is no whatsapp group for the admitted students, I am taking the responsibility of creating one. To all the admitted students, please PM me your mobile number and in case you know of any whatsapp group that is already running, please educate me.
terumoo: The school has reduced its count to 60 this year and I am assuming that many students have not joined the fb group. So, we really can't say. Although I feel that there must be a few more candidates that will be picked up. Don't give up unless you hear from them.

Just send them a gentle reminder saying that you're waiting to hear from them.

Still haven't heard. Anyone in the same boat?
