Let me guess, applying for CS

yes, deferred at MIT and Michigan. So an outright rejection at UIUC is a bit surprising, but then college admissions these days are a head scratcher.

I know other kids with similar stats who got into Michigan engineering, though, not CS.


UIUC is extremely competitive for CS and engineering.

I know but deferred at MIT which is harder to get into than UIUC. Just weird.


MIT deferrals are soft rejections.

Admit rate for computer science last year was 6.7%:

https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/apply/freshman/admit-rate

Once you get to single digit admit rates, the results for where people are accepted can be all over the place (e.g. people that get into Harvard but rejected from USC, accepted at MIT but rejected at Berkeley, etc.).

Deferred. OOS. High stats. CS.
