With interest in joining iFoundry remaining high, we have extended our application deadline to April 19 and encourage all admitted students to apply here.  Applicants will be notified of their acceptance by April 30. We continue to build the iFoundry class of 2013 and are planning a range of special opportunities for program participants. These include a special orientation course, teamwork activities with Engineering upperclassmen, special design projects, and early exposure to the joy of engineering and the different kinds of engineering.  All admitted students are encouraged to apply. iFoundry looks to build an entering class with students of high academic standing but equally important are intellectual curiosity, perseverance, creativity, leadership, interest in engaging with others, social awareness, and passion for learning. Students should be comfortable collaborating with faculty and peers for iFoundry projects, discussions, and classes. Admissions and notification to iFoundry are on a rolling basis prior to the May 1st deadline for notifying the University of Illinois of your intent to enroll.
