glad latch
tender matrix
#

No car needed

tender matrix
strong fox
#

CS acceptance rates are single digits

tender matrix
#

Fr I bet it dropped to like 4% or smth this year

#

CS + x def dropped

#

Cause everyone knows Abt it now

glad latch
#

im in grainger not cs

tender matrix
#

Still it's very hard to get in

glad latch
#

i think grainger is like 20%

glad latch
tender matrix
#

Still a feat nonetheless

glad latch
#

i was worried cuz i got rejected by purdue so i thought uiuc would be a reject too

little flame
#

What is Grainger cs acceptance rate?

silver flicker
#

accepted cs + math !!

glad latch
patent sundial
glad latch
#

cs is 7%

#

grainger is 23%

silver flicker
exotic briar
#

maybe i should’ve applied cs + x lmao

rain spindle
exotic briar
#

the cs deferral is rough

rain spindle
#

it might be higher for in state kids maybe... idk as well

strong fox
#

Grainier is general though

glad latch
#

yeah it def is

strong fox
#

Some majors like mine are harder

glad latch
strong fox
#

I think ECE is single digits

glad latch
#

oh really?

#

damn

strong fox
#

Some other engineering degrees are harder

#

Well yeah

glad latch
#

is comp eng pretty similar to ece

strong fox
#

More people apply to ECE than other engineers

#

Comp Eng is ECE

#

ECE is electrical and computer

glad latch
#

oh wait

#

i meant double e

#

not ece

tender matrix
strong fox
#

Ohhhh

#

EE takes chem and less 300 classes

hollow verge
strong fox
#

CE is like

silver flicker
strong fox
#

CS and EE

glad latch
#

omg me tooo

strong fox
hollow verge
#

glad latch
hollow verge

hollow verge

tender matrix
#

hollow verge
#

@solar portal pin

#

or @static pulsar

lunar lodge
#

is this college rlly hard to get into

tender matrix
#

Yea for many majors

#

It's very competitive

lunar lodge
#

okay but google said 59.7% acceptance rate

#

is that inaccurate

tender matrix
#

Yes

#

It's like 44% general admission

blazing sand
tender matrix
#

6% for cs

lunar lodge
lunar lodge
tender matrix
#

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

chilly tapir
#

would u guys say cs+x is harder than ece?

tender matrix
#

They might be more expensive but have better living conditions

#

Uni dorms are uni dorms

tender matrix
#

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

patent sundial
#

do yall know the stats of getting accepted after a cs defer?

tender matrix
#

Yea but rare

#

And I think hard to get

#

They have some lottery system for dorms

#

Yea

patent sundial
exotic briar
#

can i find stats on that somewhere lmao

patent sundial
#

oh wow fingers crossed then, the no loci policy kinda sucks but ig i wait

exotic briar
#

i’m pure CS so my chances are negligible

#

didn’t do a cs+x unfortunately

patent sundial
#

same I applied grainger cs but i really wasnt interested in cs+x

exotic briar
#

i wasn’t either but the higher acceptance would’ve swayed me

orchid cape
#

Math+CS just as competitive

patent sundial
#

I guess his logic is that even though it's as competitive, it surely has a slightly higher acceptance rate

orchid cape
#

I'd assume if anything that Math+CS is possibly even slightly more selective

exotic briar
#

i didn’t say math..?

orchid cape
#

It's one of the CS+ Programs

tender matrix
#

Math and Stats CS is the hardest "CS + X"

exotic briar
#

right

#

one of many

tender matrix
#

It's technically not CS + x tho

fickle sphinx
# exotic briar can i find stats on that somewhere lmao

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

scenic matrix
#

should i fill out the appeal?

tender matrix
#

They are way older so they aren't actually CS +x

tender matrix
exotic briar
orchid cape
tender matrix
#

Lol

#

A lot of ppl do CS + x for the CS

tender matrix
#

Honestly recruiters think ur double majoring

#

That's what happened with me

fickle sphinx
scenic matrix
exotic briar
#

i have interests besides CS but my main interest is CS

tender matrix
orchid cape
warm shard
#

wait im confused for cs were we suppsosed to pick 2 things?? like cs + another major??

scenic matrix
hollow verge
#

hey @tender matrix am I supposed to confirm the offer now? it's asking for deposit.. that's like commiting right

tender matrix
#

Yea math and CS and stats and CS are also general

exotic briar
#

damn

tender matrix
#

There is a program at uiuc called CS + X that has two majors in one

exotic briar
#

tragic

tender matrix
#

And you can apply to them

quasi valley
#

i m still so shocked to get pure cs

warm shard
#

ohhhh i see

#

but cs is still a major also?

quasi valley
#

ik many ppl who deserve it more than me

tender matrix
#

For example I'm in Stats and CS

quasi valley
#

😭

tender matrix
hollow verge
#

so ignore this till then?

dusky apex
#

i love regular decision

tender matrix
#

You'll meet a lot of CS + x people soon

fickle sphinx
tender matrix
#

You got until may 1st

hollow verge
#

exotic briar
hollow verge
tender matrix
#

You have a chance but that's all we can say for now

exotic briar
#

static hull

tender matrix
#

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

scenic matrix
#

tender matrix
#

Dunno how that works in RD tho

Uiuc doesn't bill you by credit hour

random iron
#

yeah im in state for uiuc (not doing CS) & the only way i'd choose uiuc over another school would be cost

random iron

my cost then

tender matrix
tidal parcel
#

tidal parcel

Did you apply stats or CS + stats

arctic barn
#

stats was my second major but my essay talked abt cs + stats

tender matrix
#

Oooo

Stats at uiuc is very CS based actually

You learn python like sem 1

There are some cool deep learning classes too

hollow verge

tender matrix

arctic barn

Worst thing they can do is reject you

tender matrix
tender matrix
#

So just the "I" for now tbh

tall mirage
#

@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

warm shard
tall mirage
#

UCs and Ivies aren't out and all but yea

tender matrix
#

Uh

tall mirage
#

deep question im sorry 😭

tender matrix
#

It was the only top CS school I got into 💀

tall mirage
#

valid

tender matrix
#

It was basically the only choice for me

tall mirage
#

oh icic

#

yea man intls have it hard

#

u got the W

tender matrix
#

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

late crest
tender matrix
#

Sometimes I think

#

They really care about fit

#

But don't treat this like it's the end

#

You might get even better options

late crest
late crest

so those r great options

exotic briar
#

i still only have OSU

tender matrix
#

Umich wow

#

That's great

astral lily
#

Does uiuc defer a lot of students or not? Do deferred students actually have a chance?

tender matrix
#

Congrats

late crest
tender matrix
exotic briar

#

at least my only rejection was gtech

tranquil slate
#

exotic briar
#

the school i wanted to go to the least

tranquil slate

convince me to pick uiuc over purdue engineering

exotic briar
#

no

#

do your own research

tall mirage
exotic briar
#

are you cs?

tall mirage

or r u instate for purdue

late crest
tranquil slate
#

both schools are comparably reputable for engineering

tall mirage

uiuc is better

tranquil slate

tall mirage

i mean academically

1 of my friends got in

tranquil slate
#

How were their experiences?

tall mirage
#

like they're always in the career center

#

and classes are fun

tranquil slate
#

I am trying to probe information I could find on A2C for the people could actually share their experiences at these colleges

tall mirage
#

i mainly have heard stories about like social life related stuff so idrk much for ChemE lol sry

tranquil slate
#

no that was very helpful!

#

could you talk about the social life too?

tall mirage
#

lol it was more of stories

#

nothing useful

tranquil slate
#

I care a lot about the people whom I would meet for the next four years lol

#

oh

#

are they mostly positive?

tall mirage
#

yea fs

#

i mean they didn't tell me anything negative

tranquil slate
#

ok so no red flags

tall mirage
#

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

high schooner
#

im so confused how i got rejected for my second choice major too

#

like i understand grainger cs

#

but mf stats??

tranquil slate
#

but I would imagine people having bad experiences WOULD recommend other people to either go/not go to their school if its horrible there

tall mirage
#

damn uiuc hella competitive this year

tranquil slate
tall mirage
tranquil slate
#

one of the HYPSMs

#

oh

#

I knew it lol

tall mirage

tender matrix
#

Tbh I think I underestimated how competitive stats has gotten

high schooner
#

yeah same

tender matrix
#

It's def more competitive than the 40% I put out

high schooner
#

its ridiculous

tender matrix
#

Mainly cause stats here is already very very CS based

#

So it's very popular

high schooner
#

i mean yeah ig

tall mirage
#

LMAO

tender matrix
#

Actually if I remember correctly, uiuc graduates the most stats majors in the country

high schooner
#

but im still super surprised

tall mirage
#

math, stats, even physics tf

tender matrix
#

Data science is the rage too now

tall mirage
#

oh ye forgot that

#

well that's kinda normal

#

cs and data sci

#

but those other ones are interesting

#

esp physics

tender matrix
#

Yea

#

Physics yea

Interesting one

tall mirage
#
