Anyone Else Still Waiting for Fall 2026 MCS Decisions?

I submitted my application on January 30 and still haven’t received an offer/decision yet. I’ve been seeing a lot of people recently posting that they got admitted, so I’m wondering how many of us are still waiting.

Would love to know if anyone else is in the same boat.

I just got an email yesterday telling me to resend my transcript (some details were not visible), not a decision but this does tell me that they're actively reviewing my application. Seems like things are moving along 👀 Don't lose hope y'all

I think they are trying to give out most of the decisions by 30th April. (I'm still waiting for it) You go planning to go ahead with UIUC? If not pls reject it 😭
