Thanks!! Hope your interview went well! How long did it take UIUC to give out your admission decision? I was thinking of applying there but they never replied to my questions so I kinda gave up.

They admit students on a rolling basis so I got my acceptance letter within 10 hours. I was really surprised that they were so quick. With your gpa and gmat score, you will definitely make it and you still have time as the deadline is 1st Feb.

UVA took 1 month, and a week later they released scholarship info. Rochester took almost 2 months, probably 1 month and 3 weeks to be precise. Scholarship came with acceptance. I applied R1 for both.

I made it to the University of Rochester with a merit-based scholarship.

Is there any advice on which school I should choose between UIUC and UR?

Yesul Hey Yesul! Does UIUC hold interviews for admission? Did you mean you got the admission letter 10 hours after your application submission?
