1. Pick up the Admissions Packet at Uni or download them from the web page at: www.uni.illinois.edu.

2. Apply for the SSAT tests. These tests may be taken more than one time. There are fee waivers available. Let Uni know in writing (letter or email) which set of scores (date test was taken) that you want to be considered by the Admissions Committee. If you do not notify us, Uni will use the last test score.

3. We advise that you select the persons who will write recommendations and give them the form several weeks before they are due at Uni. Ask the teacher/person if he/she can give a positive, strong recommendation. Try to obtain two recommendations from different areas/teachers who have seen the student on a regular basis once a day within the past two years. Home schooled students should read the Questions and Answers for Home Schools on the web page.

4. Begin the application process. Write and rewrite the answers. Build a picture of words for each question. Use the space given in the application. Have an adult proof your answers. Adults should make sure the student is writing the application answers. If the handwriting is not legible, type and then cut and paste the answers on the application.
