Hi! I also applied to UIUC and UNC, but am also waiting to hear back from UCLA. I'm currently between UIUC and UNC, but it'll come down to funding in the end. UIUC has been really transparent so far about GAships which has been super helpful. I know UNC was supposed to release merit-based financial aid decisions this past week but I still haven't heard anything so am wondering if that means I wasn't selected. Would love to connect otherwise!
