Oh damn really
is this a party college
frat just doesnt appeal to me
It is
Not just a party college
i wanna party
Yea you'll have fun
And I still do fine
Even if u don't party, like me, you'll find a lot of other fun things to do
i hope there is some ski team/club
Is holding a ski trip
because i will def join
So I assume it's not too far
if i decided to enroll here
Cause they are going in the morning and coming back at night
does uiuc send emails if you got in?
You can find places to ski
i havent checked yet
And to my they did
A few days later
no not yet
just check ur portal
how about an acceptance package
Yea login to your myillini
You'll get stickers
like do they mail something
anyone know if you get considered for your second major at the RD date?
I think they mail
how long?
aw
First week
Your gonna get so much free merch
Welcome week is gonna be a blast
For yall
I got so many lol
honestly this college was pretty high up on my list so im glad i got in!
Yea same my drawer is packed with random uiuc things
Hope to see u on campus next year 👀
Yea we have a great bus system
cmu ed is tomorrow so i might not come
No car needed
Icic I wish you good luck on that 🤞
You should be
CS acceptance rates are single digits
Fr I bet it dropped to like 4% or smth this year
CS + x def dropped
Cause everyone knows Abt it now
im in grainger not cs
Still it's very hard to get in
i think grainger is like 20%
yeah
Still a feat nonetheless
i was worried cuz i got rejected by purdue so i thought uiuc would be a reject too
What is Grainger cs acceptance rate?
accepted cs + math !!
grainger is the engineering college
congrats
tyy
maybe i should’ve applied cs + x lmao
is that for both in state and out of state?
the cs deferral is rough
it might be higher for in state kids maybe... idk as well
Grainier is general though
yeah it def is
Some majors like mine are harder
wdym
I think ECE is single digits
is comp eng pretty similar to ece
More people apply to ECE than other engineers
Comp Eng is ECE
ECE is electrical and computer
Congrats!!!
CE is like
TY
CS and EE
omg me tooo
Congrats!!!
thank you i am SOOOO excited
i also got admitted ee
and just my luck you're a CE major
so.. can I transfer to CE from EE?
maybe i will see u
Ayo let's gooo
🙏🙏🙏🙏
INVITE ME TO SOME UIUC CLASS of 2027 SERVER if there is
pls do me asw
Yay, Denied
Yes pm me
just did
Cause idk about this subs rule about posting other server stuff
is this college rlly hard to get into
general admit is closer to 40
6% for cs
oh okay
alr alr
Yes
However DO NOT LIVE IN ILLINI TOWER
Despite how good it looks do not do it
There are two types of dorms
Regular ones
And private ones
Private ones go out fast
would u guys say cs+x is harder than ece?
They might be more expensive but have better living conditions
Uni dorms are uni dorms
I would say stats and math CS are around that
But the others maybe easier
Do it asap for private
Regular you just submit in a day in summer
Hmmm yea
That's a dilemma for sure
It's after the commit day
Iirc
For regular
For private ones its already started iirc
do yall know the stats of getting accepted after a cs defer?
If you got deferred there's already a decent chance
Yea but rare
And I think hard to get
They have some lottery system for dorms
Yea
really? so it's not like an ivy where they literally defer a shit ton of people
Yea they don't do that
can i find stats on that somewhere lmao
oh wow fingers crossed then, the no loci policy kinda sucks but ig i wait
same I applied grainger cs but i really wasnt interested in cs+x
i wasn’t either but the higher acceptance would’ve swayed me
Math+CS just as competitive
I guess his logic is that even though it's as competitive, it surely has a slightly higher acceptance rate
I'd assume if anything that Math+CS is possibly even slightly more selective
i didn’t say math..?
It's one of the CS+ Programs
Math and Stats CS is the hardest "CS + X"
It's technically not CS + x tho
i applied for direct cs as a first choice and systems engineering and design for a second choice
my stats are: 1470 SAT | 4.455/4.0 W GPA | jv sports and cs/engineering related clubs
got in for systems engineering not cs
should i fill out the appeal?
They are way older so they aren't actually CS +x
It doesn't hurt
so on your portal you see you were accepted for your second major?
Yup of course, but if you're interested in CS don't think you'd go with some redundant CS +X
why would it be redundant
on the portal it shows what major i got in for and it showed my second choice major
idk, i feel like it might be a waste of time/effort
i have interests besides CS but my main interest is CS
Worse thing they do is reject you
If you're solely interested in CS, you don't wanna add advertising on top of it
Stuff like Math and Stats still convereges
wait im confused for cs were we suppsosed to pick 2 things?? like cs + another major??
well, again
hey @tender matrix am I supposed to confirm the offer now? it's asking for deposit.. that's like commiting right
Yea math and CS and stats and CS are also general
Nonono
so the deferral means i didn’t get into my second choice major either?
damn
There is a program at uiuc called CS + X that has two majors in one
tragic
And you can apply to them
i m still so shocked to get pure cs
ik many ppl who deserve it more than me
For example I'm in Stats and CS
You have until may 1sr
😭
Yes
i love regular decision
You'll meet a lot of CS + x people soon
deferral just means that they’re waiting to give u a decision they didn’t accept or reject u yet
alright cool, thank you
are you still being considered for your first choice major on the RD round
you me and my best friend gonna be having a lot of fun there
i’d assume so
You have a chance but that's all we can say for now
which unis r u considering over uiuc
i will consider only harvard or probabaly princeton
and cmu
cmu goes hard im simping so much for them
about one and a half
pure cs
Rly? I thought deferral was a nice way of rejection
what about the reject —> accept rate 💀
Nahhh
If they wanna reject you, you get rejected
100%
😭😭BRO PLEEEAAASE
Oh yea I might be "teaching" some of u uiuc CS admits
Next sem lmao
I'm a pm for the honors intro to cs class
So maybe I'll see y'all on campus or sum thin
i got into cs!!
Yay!!!!
Hmm I don't have any real numbers
But it's gonna be possible for sure
And it won't be too hard as well i think
Bio has an acc rate around the LAS acc rate
So like 40% ish
what stats were around average for cs and cs+x acceptances?
Dunno how that works in RD tho
Around 1500 sat 3.8 gpa ish
When do they post FinAid/Scholarships?
Well actually 1450 sat
It's gonna be some time
i guess they my essays were too mid then
u tryna make me feel worse fr 💀
does uiuc give any financial aid oos?
does uiuc give out merit-based scholarships?
Lower relatively, it's still outrageously high
Barely
OOS students don't expect to get much from uiuc
praying bruh, my ass cannot afford dat ahi
shi
I got 0 dollars
yeah, fair
What did you apply for?
business
when did u get ur tuition bill?
Yea business is competitive
did the decisions come out
Got in lol, i did their supp in like under 30 minutes 💀
how much do u pay
Ayyy grats!!!!
don’t do that bro
because the website says 54-61k
Like 59k
lmfao thanks guys
ouch
i got deferred 😭😭😭
it's whatever i wasn't expecting anything from uiuc anyway
does uiuc give a lot of aid to in state
how many credit hours are u taking per semester?
nah rd is impossible pretty much
I think they give some amount
My friend has a full ride here
Cause of his income status
oh fr?? are they in state
It's called Illinois commitment or smth
Yes
oh wow
But it's still gonna be slightly expensive
Anyone got into James scholar btw?? Or campus honors???
16
do those come out with decisions?
i havent seen anything
Uiuc doesn't bill you by credit hour
yeah im in state for uiuc (not doing CS) & the only way i'd choose uiuc over another school would be cost
It's 42k if ur 12 hours or 18 hours
where do we see that
my cost then
Admission letter at the bottom of ur checklist
eh
the letter doesnt work
it says in there?
I see, well I think you should get some
Most instaters that need aid get some
is there any chance to get accepted in rd
is it this
But just check it once a while
View your official Notice of Admission Letter once it is available, which could take up to one week. Students with international addresses will not receive a hard copy of this letter in the mail.
or no
Yep
Yep
There you will know if ur a James scholar
oh well not avaliable yet
Or a campus honor
don't see anything so it might not be out
@tender matrix can i dm u about the appeal form
Yea takes a week
its the 2nd tab from the bottom
Sure but tbh I don't really know much about it
Like I wouldn't be able to help with ur appeal much
could u send an ss bc im not seeing anything 😭 tbf im on mobile
how likely is it
cs+advertising is grear
Yeah no doubt man, lovely for people who want that course,
My guy mentioned he prefers raw CS so just assumed math or stats would be a better fit
Is it possible to appeal first choice major if accepted for second choice?
ah okay i didnt read what u said LOL
thas my bad
i didn’t say i preferred raw CS
that’s just what i applied for
I would’ve been more than happy to look at some CS + X options if I’d known the acceptance rate difference
Thought that much cause of this
My bad
ima cry rn
Still a chance
Same
Dunno how big it is
is urs there yet? mine is blank
Didja get into CS adv 👀
I feel like banging my head on the wall
i think it might take some time before it shows up
i RD'd haha
Ahhj
well uiuc it was nice while it lasted
Yea CS + adv is great
You guys do some cool computational advertising
And that gpa boost from the advertising classes is very neat
Unlike CS + stats 😭
Nice
raking up deferrals like crazy
Better than raking up rejects
Fr
how long does it take the admission letter to generate?
A week
gotcha. also would you know how to see if u got into any honors programs / scholarships?
idk how any of that works
Honors program through the letter
That comes in a week
U check self service for the fin aid
Which comes in march or april
congrats
Ayyyy
YEA!!! LESS GOO
congrats
what major?
it's the same thing anyway
You’re crackeddd
lol seems like they took usamo into account 💀
there are like three small essays, i copied 1.5 ish from harvard the rest i just wrote up some stuff
💀
Did you apply stats or CS + stats
stats was my second major but my essay talked abt cs + stats
Oooo
Stats at uiuc is very CS based actually
You learn python like sem 1
There are some cool deep learning classes too
Your admission letter
Anyone else got into UIUC?
Comes out on a week
you think i can call them and see if they’ll consider me for stats+cs since my essay and ECs are all about that
I know but do they just put me in it without asking me
that won't work
there’s a form you fill out
to apply to change majors on the portal
however
you could lose your spot in stats
so it’s a big gamble
Yea good idea
Worst thing they can do is reject you
does uiuc have loci
is uiuc better than georgia tech
Bro they're like the same dw. You're chilling either way, though I will say Atlanta >
OMG I GOT INTO CS
LETS GOOOO TREX
^
I got deferred 😦
Anyone know what percent we’re deferred?
i second this notion of finding out defer statstic
what's the acceptance rate after getting deferred lmao
By rankings, yes 😎
Congrats!!!
Once again if u guys want the uiuc 27 discord link, dm me
Congrats!!!
Thank you :)))
If I haven't committed yet, can I still join?
Yep it's for any prospective students!
I'll dm you the link
Dankeschoen
hows everyone lol
oh yeah they had a p decent welcoming screen
Fantastic
thank you 🎉
i thought the confetti and fight song was fun
Yea, I liked the buttons a lot
Yea fr
depressed
Sad they remove it after a while
Same here 🫡
:c
Like if I login to the application portal
It's gone
Like they remove it august 18 of the year you get admitted
I think I lost access to all my application portals
okay well that’s like… months 💀
Yea but I miss the screen
You can play music
Throw confetti
Overall pretty fun
Truism
cs steal the code
what does TAM stand for
Texas A and M?
no for uiuc classes
nothing
dang
Did any of yall get a decision letter because i cant find one
anyone know what the uiuc mascot is??
It comes out in a week
We have none because the old one was racist and we haven't replaced it yet
So just the "I" for now tbh
@tender matrix ok so now that decisions are all done for today, i was just wondering
why did you choose UIUC
over some of the other colleges that u got in to
like i have no clue how to choose a college to attend
/ what factors to consider
other than cost, prestige, and academics
since i've already considered that
LMAOOO i love that
UCs and Ivies aren't out and all but yea
deep question im sorry 😭
It was the only top CS school I got into 💀
valid
It was basically the only choice for me
Yea, one school is enough to make me happy
But I guess if you ever have any questions about the social life
And stuff here
I'm all open
If that helps you make the decision
they even rejected me from 2nd major stats
Bruh
Sometimes I think
They really care about fit
But don't treat this like it's the end
You might get even better options
yea
got into sbu, rutgers, umich, and umd
so those r great options
i still only have OSU
Does uiuc defer a lot of students or not? Do deferred students actually have a chance?
Congrats
ty
I don't believe they defer too much
hear me out you give me your umich acceptance and you go to uiuc
or switched
i got deferred from both 😔
with a 35!
tragic
imagine a black market of selling college decisions
if i don't get the fin. aid im looking for, i will withdraw my app for u @exotic briar
guys
the school i wanted to go to the least
convince me to pick uiuc over purdue engineering
why is that a hard decision lol
are you cs?
or r u instate for purdue
purdue deferred and now im not planning on writing a loci
both schools are comparably reputable for engineering
i mean academically
SOMEHOW GOT IN YOOOO
can't match my energy then i won't try
chemical engineering
WWWWWWW CONGRATULATIONS
ayyy i know a few ppl that go to UIUC for ChemE
2 students
catchin dubs
1 of my friends got in
nice!
How were their experiences?
they said the internship opps for ChemE are insane
like they're always in the career center
and classes are fun
I am trying to probe information I could find on A2C for the people could actually share their experiences at these colleges
NICE
i mainly have heard stories about like social life related stuff so idrk much for ChemE lol sry
I care a lot about the people whom I would meet for the next four years lol
oh
are they mostly positive?
ok so no red flags
but generally students/employees/alumni portray their school to HS applicants/admitees in a positive light
even if they know the truth (mix of pos and neg)
that sounds harsh but its true
im so confused how i got rejected for my second choice major too
like i understand grainger cs
but mf stats??
but I would imagine people having bad experiences WOULD recommend other people to either go/not go to their school if its horrible there
wait where did you get rejected
stanford
lol
Tbh I think I underestimated how competitive stats has gotten
yeah same
It's def more competitive than the 40% I put out
its ridiculous
i mean yeah ig
Ppl finding new ways to shimmy their way into that SWE job title 😐
LMAO
Actually if I remember correctly, uiuc graduates the most stats majors in the country
but im still super surprised
math, stats, even physics tf
Fr
Data science is the rage too now
oh ye forgot that
well that's kinda normal
cs and data sci
but those other ones are interesting
esp physics
At least not English
wow only 40% of uiuc's enrolled students submitted either or both SAT/ACT scores
??
huhh
i call cap
Guys I got denied
wait
I heard that they project UIUCs acceptance rate becoming 20% in a few years
No no financial aid
😦
Ea
Either way, good luck with your other decisions 🤞
Thanks man
Wtf Harvard didn't give you aid?
Noh mate
It was university of Illinois Chicago 💀
wait u got into harvard
LMAOOOOO
That's messed up
SDFSDLDJF
They said only offer me admit if they gonna
harvard has rea lol
Let me pay
Yeah yeah
i did harvard rea and uiuc ea, different results lmfao
Sheesh
if u got into harvard u should be chillin
That's an asshole move on their part
Innit
But you got Harvard there's only good news to come
thats what im sayin
Bro but it is so high in Cse
Yeah but I might got to go Penn state
Or Michigan
Hmm
Tbh I wouldn't worry
If you work hard at any school
Your results will be similar
Not worrying bro thanks a lot for motivation
🫡
@tender matrix how cold is it usually in the winter at uiuc
im looking at the weather and it says it will be 20 degrees next week 🥶
is that normal?
celcius or Fahrenheit
Very cold ngl
Uhh it's normally 1 to 4 celcius
Like 32 to 40
When it's cold
But it can get colder
Hold up so did anyone get in for stats+cs
ok that aint too bad
next week is 20 degrees which is freezing
Yeaaa
It's 3 lowest next week
Which is abnormal
BJZ can i pm u with a question?
i dont see it lol
im 99% committed to uiuc btw
anyone have the stats on defer for uiuc
i’m kinda stuck between it and purdue
It hasn't been generated yet
if u don’t mind
Yep sure
Sorry didn't see the original question
hey guys i got in for cs/econ but i was wondering how feasible it would be to switch to math/cs or stats/cs if i didnt like econ after my freshman year
Can I do both call week nd appeal my decision?
It's more feasible than other majors
But like you'll need a 3.67 gpa
And high grades in CS and Stat classes
Or math
What about transferring from math to math/cs
I’m assuming it’s more difficult
It's gonna be hard
Illini pantry clutch
is uiuc or purdue ece harder to get into as an oos.
purdue's rejection surpised me and uiuc's acceptance surprised me. opposite of what i was expecting
Illinois
hoping and praying to get in w rd
w?
with rd
maybe im dumb what do you mean by w?
probably won't happen but im living in a fantasy
Hi! I Just got accepted to UIUC chemical engineering. Could you share out some of your thoughts on the overall environment and experience of studying at UIUC? Thanks!
w/
but did you get accepted in ea
why did i even do grainger cs and not cs+x
like i probably dont have any chance left anymore
It's easy to fit in I suppose
Like you'll find ur niche
Ur group
And it's a fun place to be honestly
Lots of partying if ur into that
If ur not, you'll find plenty of other things to do
no
how do you check for scholarships??
anyone know the CS acceptance rate
applying RD to UIUC is a throw 💀
for everybody who got into UIUC, congrats! (for everybody who got into Grainger, you get extra brownie points)
I love u uiuc the only brothers that believed in me
W college W state W life
btw the cs acceptance rate in my school is so crazu
mfs with <3.8 gpa (on 4.3 scale), test optional, mid ECs be making cs
uiuc?
yes
only for CS and Eng
Otherwise it's doable
yea
depends on stats but yea if u have like avg a2c stats
anything engineering is hard
sub15 acceptance rate probably
bro my friend who camped in chem got deferred from gtech
L gtech fr
like t20 in chem in the entire nation
Ion wanna go to Atlanta eitherways. Midwest >>>>
i thought i would get into cs+math bc i have good math ecs but i got deferred
3x aime qual + prestigious math camp
it is what it is
See, L school
math camp should've been a shoe-in if it was ross/promys/sumac ngl
it was hcssim
one tier below those
ah
its interesting bc hcssim has been around much longer
for which school
how do u appeal
it should be in ur portal
how much detail do u want
i got deferred tho
then just submit ur mid-year report
but nothing too insane tho
no there is no apealing for deferred people
oh my mid year report is nice
whats the call week thing they have
alr
Today is the beginning of Call Week in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at Illinois. (Thread)
i just got in but for my second choice 🤧
when do scholarship decisions come out
in about a week when the official acceptance letter is posted
uiuc is so weird for not considering 7th semester grades
they dont wanna have to do more work
im lowkey glad
do they consider it in rd
senioritis is a reality for me 😅
i did fine but not amazing
i got As but i feel like i learned nothing
same
LMAO IKR OMG
when did u guys join a2c
my goal rn is to get as many As as possible but not too many Bs literally nothing else
lwk unhealthy but whatevs
through one ear and out the other
summer before soph
i feel like if i knew about a2c earlier than junior yr my results would have been better
ik ppl say its too early or whatever to join before junior year second sem or smth but the essay and EC ideas/tips 🔥 fr
i didnt even know what aime was until i made it in freshman yr 😭
fr
true there r a lot of students at my school who think they can get into ivies w just good grades
my school is competitive so its just added stress
my school is chill
but yea i get why ppl feel otherwise fs
i hope this appeal thing works out
my school is full of tryhards and nerds
big load off my back i’ll literally be done with apps this was my top choice 😅
no?
ok just wondering
i went to kms
ik some schools near mine kinda where it's easy to be val or whatever but like the kids there just dgaf lol
kill myself
r u alright?
my school gives anyone w a 4.5 or higher weighted gpa val status
and its hella ez to get it
i need a 2.5 gpa this semester to not get it
it was just a joke 💀
just checking college apps are stressful
yea lwk i hate how that became a joke
like saying "kms"
anyway
also is it just me or do yall competitive schools not have weighted GPA reported
like on the transcripts
my middle school was actually kms 😭
we have wgpas on our transcripts
Y’all got questions?
same thing with no class rank
I can answer any y’all have
Meh
hmm ig the same things i asked bjz lemme find it
one sec
My wine night just ended
how do you like it there? : D
I love it, it’s a lot of fun and hella rewarding
Fresh
@strong fox pls 🙂
are there a lot of flights to uiuc's airport
do you know if appeals for major changes work 🥲 @strong fox
So you won’t like my answer
i wanna visit
I chose it because I didn’t like Ohio state
but almost all flights go to chicago
Chicago to Urbana is a 2 hour train ride
$15 bucks or smth
LMAO
No but like
I can tell you reasons to chose UIUC
im def picking uiuc over ohio state (i got admitted by both)
ikik it's a joke lol
I got OSU honors, like a fuck ton of scholarships, and still chose UIUC
what state
What major did you get in for mercede
u from
yes it does.
Half as much as UIUC
becuz its cheap
37knisnt too cheap lol
what r u asking about the major i applied to UIUC or UCM?
instate tuition isnt dirt cheap
Nah bro wtf
anyway i got in for Math+CS UIUC
where do u think u goin? @tall mirage
Math + CS is a solid choice
ic u got uiuc and gatech
can u transfer from cs+x to cs only
I will say
congratulations!!
No
Deciding between GT and UIUC for now, prob adding some UCs, and maybe UMich (i got deferred EA) and some ivies/Duke/CMU??
appealing majors 🥲 does that work
so yea ig im fortunate to have a ton of options
gt
not sure tho
i would pick gt
