Thank you! That's great to hear. If I don't hear back soon, do you know if it's beneficial (or at least not detrimental) to send a brief email out to the DGS reaffirming my interest and checking whether my application is under consideration or somewhere on their informal waitlist?
Thanks! In the coming weeks is a bit disappointing in terms of the wait, but that's probably good news overall since I agree with you that it seems unlikely they've already sent out all the acceptances then. I was just worried since I figure maybe not as many people here applied to UIUC compared to other schools, what you heard makes more sense though!
Did you hear anything more confirming Illinois was sent out? I haven't seen anything about them since then and wasn't sure if acceptances were delayed or went to people not on this forum
