Hi Voyager!!!
I am an international student from India and had applied to UIUC in R2. Got an admit with some scholarship. I also paid the initial 750$ deposit on 15th MArch 2015.
But I havent heard anything from Admissions as of now. Is this normal? I had a few questions regarding this.
1. I wanted to know how much time do they take to send our I-20s and formal admission letter?
2. I have already uploaded my financial statement with the application. Is it required to send the original hard copy of the statement as well to the Admcom Office?
3. And apart from the official transcripts, is there anything else that I need to send to the Adcom?
4. I had send a request to the FB group for 2015 admits, but it has been approved till now.
5. Is there a Whatsaap group for the 2015 admits?
Hope you will be able to help me out.
Thanks in advance

- Congruts on the admit!
- Relax, this is a small program, so you don't really get updates at every stage. Since you paid your deposit, you should be getting emails about orientation soon.
- There is NO formal admission letter. Reach out to them so they can email you 1) Official admit letter on official letter head, 2) i-20, 3) scholarship letter. I think that they usually email you these as .pdf files so you can print, or they can mail you....not sure. My point? There is no admit package!
- The university doesn't care about the your finaid docs...the immigration people do. So, once they send you the scholarship infor, i-20, you can use those to adjust your finaid doc information and then off you will go to the US embassy to get your F1 visa. The people you need to convince about your funding sources, not the university, but the visa officers!
- nope. you are done. Once they have the official transcript, you are done.
- I can approve your request to join the FB group. I don't see any pending approvals.
- There is no whatsup group! Sorry....whatsup is not a big thing here in America, unlike the rest of the world!
Cheeers,
