Illinois

Read a random definition: Sales tax

A quick definition of Illinois:

Illinois has laws that protect people from unwanted emails, phone calls, and faxes. These laws make it illegal for companies to send spam emails or make unsolicited phone calls. There is also a registry where people can add their phone numbers to avoid telemarketing calls. Additionally, Illinois has laws against computer-related crimes and unlawful trade practices.

A more thorough explanation:

Illinois has several laws that regulate different forms of electronic communication and commerce. These laws aim to protect consumers from unwanted and fraudulent activities.

The Anti-Phishing Act and the Electronic Mail Act are two laws that regulate commercial email and spam in Illinois. These laws prohibit the use of false or misleading information in emails and require senders to provide a way for recipients to opt-out of future emails.

An Illinois-based company sends an email to its customers promoting a new product. The email contains false information about the product's features and does not provide an option to unsubscribe from future emails. This violates the Anti-Phishing Act and the Electronic Mail Act.

The Restricted Call Registry Act and the Telephone Solicitations Act regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation in Illinois. These laws require telemarketers to register with the state and prohibit them from calling individuals who have registered their phone numbers on the state's Do Not Call list.

A telemarketing company calls an Illinois resident who has registered their phone number on the state's Do Not Call list. This violates the Restricted Call Registry Act and the Telephone Solicitations Act.

The Illinois Fax Act prohibits the use of fax machines to send unsolicited advertisements to individuals or businesses without their prior consent.

A company sends a fax advertisement to an Illinois business without their prior consent. This violates the Illinois Fax Act.

The Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act prohibits businesses from engaging in unfair or deceptive practices that harm consumers.

A company advertises a product as having certain features that it does not actually have. This violates the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act.

The Computer Crime Prevention Law prohibits individuals from accessing or damaging computer systems without authorization, stealing data, or using computers to commit other crimes.

An individual hacks into a company's computer system and steals sensitive customer information. This violates the Computer Crime Prevention Law.

it's hard to say but i've also heard that the group interview is harder to get than the alumni interview. but who really knows tbh

This is obviously not true for UVA. Past years show they don't send any non A results until December
