A couple months ago, I sent off applications to a handful of colleges. I got automatically accepted (based on test scores and classes taken) to Iowa quite a while ago. Today, I heard back from the first Regular Decision, non-automatically-inspected application: University of Illinois (Urbana-Champaign). When I logged into the online application, I was greeted with this message filling the screen:
That's an acceptance! There are plenty of schools I've yet to hear from, but the University of Illinois is a very nice place and I would be very happy to go there.
