Notes
I officially received my acceptance from this school on 2/3/2021, but they offered me a funding package for both the master to PhD program and direct PhD program in November. I do not have a faculty advisor and I did not get interviewed beforehand during the months leading up to my acceptance, but I did attend a virtual visit around October to talk with faculty about their department (I believe their were around 10 people in that call). Also, this virtual visit was held for EMERGE participants which basically meant that when I took the GRE I chose to let EMERGE use my info to send to colleges. Regarding the comments about the virtual visit being held in March, I too have been receiving those emails so I do not know if that means people made it past the first round of admission. As for my qualifications to get in, I had a 3.62 Major GPA in Mechanical Engineering from University of California, Merced and I have only done one semester of research (which I am doing this semester). Hopefully, this info helps the people asking about the admission to UIUC, I wish you all the best of luck.
