Ayy nice!!
Iโm from northern ones
! Northern suburbs are mad nice

i think SHA iirc comes out early
oh
Fr i love it here
pretty safe
ur chilling in both
the atgeld chimes are going silent for years now??
so i cant here it till i am about to graduate basically
wonderful
What are those??
i saw it on reddit lol
but they are bells or something
and they look cool
and everyone seems sad
and since uiuc is my top choice rn, i am sad too that i cant experience them till i am about to graduate
how r u finding about cornell this week
isnt it march 31

u an athelete or sum?
This Friday is RD!
No point in being sad about something you wonโt have experienced
The bells will be back
Theyโre nothing too special tbh itโs just bells
South quad has em too
For Cornell??
Why would I be talking about Cornell in the UIUC channel
My bad ahahah
My program comes out early lol
Whatโs the max deviation from predicted scores for offer rescind, also is it for overall percentage or individual scores
lol
lowkey
sha sounds like an nba player's name
south quad bells better carry
What time does it come out on Friday
ea came out 4pm ct
it came out about half an hour early for me actually so
Very good, we have consulting classes for the stat major
lol thats kinda good
not really for me cuz its still at 3/4 am in the morning but for americans its better
wait rd comes out this friday???
ye
was there a tornado today
how bad was it
you dont have tornadoes?
eh its not that bad
does uiuc rd come otu friday for everyone or just in state?
everyone
๐
i got into early, the acceptance portal is prolly my fav
it has your name and major rlly big
then song and confetti
i didnt apply just was curious cause i saw on the calendar n couple of friends did rd
yeah the portal looks really good
whoever is designing all the emails and websites did a really good job
someone send confirmation of the friday release date to modmail so it can be added to decision dates
whats the deferred to accepted rate for math + cs
too lazy to set up modmail f
we pray :>
๐ Gluck everyone
good luck!
This was funny
Internationals and Bay Area kids freaked
I slept through the first alarm
Woke up, thought it was just the lighting alarm, so I closed my window and went back to bed
Second alarm I saw there was a tornado and 10 missed called from my moms and texts from my RA
And Then went back to bed again
ur poor mother
I feel bad about my mom
Nothing else
Sheโs from here
She texted me and my dad and my dad didnโt respond ๐
u said u are from chicago right
Yeah
So we donโt care that much
Last tornado warning I drove to do my course selection ๐
Like drove to the library to look with friends
when was this
May? June?
seems like a lot of people freaked and were clueless lol
nobody knew what the sirens were
Meh
Everyone from around here didnโt care
When I woke up, I went to my lounge since I live in the ground floor
It looked like a refugee camp a million people went to our floor
They were all in fetal positions and I was just there in PJs and my water bottle
lol
i'd sleep through it too
shit like this happens alot around the south east asia area
i love sleeping when theres just rain/ hard rain/ weather problems like that
therapeautic
lol
yall have PJ at campus?
damn at my school in vietnam we also have one
i thought it wasnt that big of a chain
since when were tornados a common occurrence in vietnam?
do you mean typhoons because im pretty sure they arent
also
just so u misread buddy
i said happens alot around the SEA area
never said anything abt tornados happenning in vietnam ๐
South china sea + Indian ocean combo lol
Ahh nice
cuz no way we gonna name the sea which we have like 70% of with our arch enemy's name lol
just some random ass politics stuff expanding since prehistoric time before christ
i never asked about sea though? only vietnam
bruh this guy is really taking beef online
with ur tone
it wasnt "ask" but rather "highly question the credibility of my knowledge"
how can you perceive tone off a text message?
i learnt that crap in literature for a reason
if it was a question, u wouldn't say "since when were" but rather just "are tornados a common occurence in vietnam?"
just as an example
i was questioning whether or not that was the case because i thought they werent?
i quit
why i want to continue this beef ๐ญ
im kinda proud u implied im a nerd lol
im literally the last person u can call a nerd :>
shut the fuck up
wdym bro ๐
fr
Best of luck
New Jersey to grainger pipeline lol
bru
rd releases this friday right?
Yes
What time
for ea idt they gave a time
They did
4 pm ct but it came out earlier
Rd applicants will likely get this email Thursday
yeah it came out like an hour earlier for me
3:30 ct probably
anyone who has gotten a scholarship from uiuc
did you previously see the scholarship when you were first accepted
or did you get an email afterwards
they emailed me
i have not gotten the amount yet
did u get in first of all
yeah ea
yeah
ik cs people got the email already
i got that too
did you apply for aid intially?
no
Yeah, i got the email for getting in the james scholar honors program
At Grainger
when did you get it compared to bird
was it same day
lmao
i wanna know if its rolling
scholarship 2/9
is there a time for decisions?
james scholar 2/15
4 pm ct
ok
@jovial island
were you guys in state?
@tender matrix answer this man's questions
no
not getting a scholarship or honors isnt a big deal
uiuc is already highly ranked and hard to get into espcially for cs so gj
oh yeah fs im just checking cause im curious lmao
and wanna get more clarity on how their system works
Yes
Scholarships are quite rare for out of state
can we get into honors program after attending UIUC for an year?
No I'm international and applied in EA
I got the email on the 16th of Feb
I applied for EE
Not CS
lmfaoo
Yes
You can get in after a semester
Honors is stupid here
Ooh lol
In what sense
I heard they have awesome forms
Dorms *
Ahh ok thanks
they said no to my application update :(
march 3rd ๐
๐คฃ Haha ๐คฃ so ๐คฃ funny ๐คฃ bro ๐คฃ
what time zone is it in
cst
UIUC WE GETTING IN
Yessaaa
4 PM CST Timezone?
i didnt get this email...
check spam, im sure everyone gets this email
got this for ea after they brutally deferred me.
CS?
Damn
nope no aid
yeah applied to a bunch of safeties like pennstate and umn
i got into gtech though so im not too worried about uiuc
wuts yalls best choice out of wut u got so far
big chilling
fr but im in love with uwmadison's campus
I got into Purdue but not uw Madison lmfao
aye purdue thats good
Fr Madison RD ? Or ea
Well no defer
And you got into UIUC?
yes
What a wack process
thats crazy
ikr
Altho I did hear that uw Madison overenrolled
So they had to accept 500 kids less compared to last year
yeah theyre reducing the number of admits by 500 i think
that is barely anthing
purdue was super picky this year
uga??
wtf
and u got into gtech
this is why this process is so weird
Itโs more cuz then they have to reject more right
500 is barely anything
assuming yield rate
that would be 2000 extra rejects
rip
why
Uiuc I thought was better
Literally no one i knew got in
cs?
One of my good friends got into umich gtech uiuc but got rejected by purdue
management etc
uiuc half my friends got deferred for cs + x
Same lmao
msu for the win honestly
if i dont get into uiuc i might just go to msu since they gave me a schlorship of like 21k per year
which is a lot for like 60k total per year
indiana gave me no money
i really hope purdue isnt the same
both publics.. what do i expect
uhhh in state?
nah
pray for uiuc rd ๐๐ซ
The OOS premium is one of the ways that Purdue has been able to keep tuition frozen for a decade
this is their slogan
"tuition frozen for 11 years"
lmao same im not getting in and even IF i do i cant afford so im not sure what the point was looking back
but merit schlorships are there for oos
Not really
but theyโre very competitive.
Wdym premium
doesnt purdue bill by credit hr tho?
extra cash that they get through oos and intls
I asked them about a fee waiver they replied saying donโt even apply if u canโt afford the app fee coz then u wonโt be able to afford the Tution and we rarely give out scholarships to iOS students
well oos costs more
so it just cancels out
what state r u
so ur int
but do not live in illinois
u said ur a korean citizen
oh ok
mb
then ur oos
yeah yeah
mean but tru lowkey
i got a fee waiver
dang
but mine will only arrive at 4am my time :>
great
ima enjoy my friday sleep
wake up to a big present or an L
its okay my portal says it will come out tmrw tho
lol
is it a sign ...?
prob not
mb theres a problem in their automatic response bot
lmfao its yea prob just a glitch
bro my parents like barge into my room with like beaming lights and wake me tf up every time
like let me sleep please
ye
๐
if they're asian
i understand that lol
aussie parents ๐
Hi Uiuc Frinds
Hey
healo
cs+stats is nuts this year, plus the fact that everyone and their mom wants to transfer to it at UIUC
half a year in fact
yeah, i am genuinely interested in the stats part and my ec's show that pretty well so lets hope for the best
๐
Lol
Wb cs + math
like
its nuts too
lol but I think people scared of math
so less people tryna transfer in compared to stats
sad
dont ask how i got these
just know they are legit
no data for others (currently) cuz all values are <20
if you want to calculate a "best case" acceptance rate you can just plug in 19
surprising that math+cs intl male rate is half of oos rate but cs intl as a whole is double the oos ar
whats less than 20 and all ?
they didnt give cuz it was less than 20
thats it
4th column = applicants, 5th = accepts, last = ar.
less than 20 = less than 20 people from that category were accepted
ok thanks
is that what you applied for?
yep
thank you! ๐
Whatโs is this
admissions statistics
doing god's work
anyone know the acceptance rate for political science of if it's competitive at uiuc?
any portal astrology>
Ik thatโฆ I meant what do the noโs exactly mean
wait so even the number of ppl who applied is less than 20?
jeez
only 70 male oos cs+econ
i didnt think stats+cs would be higher than econ+cs
math+cs 30% damn
anyone know the chances for female
yeah but theres also 91 applications
up here
yk where that data is from?
no idea
What do the last 3 columns stand for
applied, accepted, acceptance rate
And what year is this
it says the year before resident/international/non resident
this is cds right?
CST
UIUC RD rahhhhh
If you get rejected from your first major, do you automatically get a chance at your second major?
CS for first, BCOG for second btw
Yeah
Is there any data on how competitive bcog is?
I'm kinda eh with my chances for CS, so yeah
However
I'm an international aswell, so that really doesn't help
Do I have an edge over other applicants if I was deferred
I called the admissions office and they said they note on your application that you were deferred so maybe that does something but idk
Ah maybe
The admissions office would be a more notable source than me so mhm
Wish you good luck
Cs as well?
Cs+stats
Thanks you too
no
acceptance rate?
they have the same stats on the cds
anyone else get the email from uiuc today about decisions
4pm tomorrow they said
i think itโs 4pm cst tho
show me
yes
it says only 25 in state females applied cs+math?
yea everything is legit lol
i find that hard to believe lol
nvm bruh I think I read the stats wrong
do u have this for materials science and engineering
oh okay
itโs straight from admissions office
ik but i am baffled at only 25 females applying
also can u find the stats for ece
please
Or at least CE
ee
someone ik had to file a request for this data
they have to give it cuz of freedom of information act
Is this just rd or is it everyone?
everyone
what act
Where can we get info abt the EA 2023
u cant
next year
can u have ur friend request the data for ee/ce department lol
i donโt wanna bother them
itโs prob somewhere published tho
let me se
someone prob requested earlier tbh
i will go find it
ok nvm canโt find it ๐
rip
no maybe not for some demographics
but the number accepted just says less than 20
and the number applied isnโt that much higher
so you canโt rlly estimate an acceptance rate
26.5 hours to go
Yooo can u give me the source this looks cool
Damn less than 20 international males in CS stats
Are these enrollment numbers?
What about computer engineering?
someone foiad the admissions office they not giving the raw file lol
but you can file a request if u want
donโt have
Ahh I see
What are each of the columns meaning?
From left to right I believe itโs # applied # accepted and acceptance rate
Does this include second choice
probably
Anyone else getting their decisions tomorrow ๐ค
What 60% acceptance rate??
For ee
Do you believe this
If it is 60% then I am sad
Because that means itโs relatively easy to get in then
But that makes no sense
They are the ranked in t10 for ee
Admit rate should be low 20s at most
Inflated in-states mayhaps
@tender matrix do you really believe ee has a 59% rate ๐ญ
and i thought the department was huge
148+330+185 admits
663 total admits
now considering yield
Nah I don't think so honestly
I feel like these numbers might be something else
my ego is bruised if these are right
No necessarily admit deny etc
hi everyone
Yea it seems too high for major like this
Will say tho
These are pretty self selecting
wdym
According to the numbers CS + stats is a 25% acc rate
Which is higher than I thought
But
Almost everyone I met in the program is cracked
cs+x is 25% overall
And I'm the bottom admit for CS + stats
So Im basically the "worst" CS + stats student
Most people are more cracked than me
According to the numbers sent
One of the tables on cs + stats
But u said it prob isnโt accurate
Probably yea
But still less than 20 international males got in
Doesn't matter if the acc rate is high or not
Because that pool was already very self selecting
Same for EE and CompE
Cause most people in the program here is cracked
Like half my freshmen friends
CS + x majors
Have internships
You'll find both
My friends are really supportive of me
And vice versa
We all share internship resources etc
Help each other at career fairs
Don't worry about the acceptance rate, just know you are at one of the best engineering programs in the world
And that to get in, you need to already be successful
People are cracked regardless
And on a different note
Good luck for decisions tomorrow everyone ๐ค
I'm rooting for y'all
im gonna get more clarification about the ece numbers
nah its too small
alright
unfortunately those stats are legit
says who
who is this
illinois freedom of information act
there are only 120 ee freshmen rn
that seems small
ee program is huge
i think
i think ece should be second most competetive
after cs/cs+x
60% rate seems too high
grainger overall is 23
for first choice
all the CS kids put EE second choice
and then they just give them ee
so it makes the admit rate go up
first choice major only
considering cs is probably
majority of the apps to grainger
thats enough to drop it to 23
read this
^^
@tender matrix
where are you getting these numbers
oh im dumb
omg if I don't get in for chemistry now I'm going to have the biggest confidence drop
istg let me in uiuc
are you sure this data is accurate
it seems kind of off
how can ee be 60%
and ce be 30% almost
the overall is like low 20% for engineering
what abt CE?
but even with second choice it changes the overal by <10%
im surprised how both grainger and cs are in top 10 but cs is 6.8% lol
ig the dorms and resources available for grainger is bigger than the cs faculty
yeah lol the data is not adding up well
fr
me just going to business :>
i dont mind a 27%
prob one of the higher percentage in my top bus schools lol
if this data is accurate ~1/6 of total applicants are cs/cs+x
out of the 64k applicants last year
really shows how much harder cs is to get into than other majors if anything
Me
yea
someone else
do you know the yield rate for CE?
no
Ahh
Hey guys don't worry about the acceptance rate
It's very self selecting
And heck the rankings of this place is nuts anyway
I just want to know how many people are actually considered freshmen bcs they somehow have 600 seniors for CE
and 100 at the start
he sent first+second choice combined I think
Can someone else do this?
Stats?
Wrong pic
Tf is going on
It came?
CHILL YALL IM ON TO SOMETHING
What?
...? I'm lost
i have it
I would think so tho
but im p sure im a reject tho
Im not in my laptop so
LOL
Sorry
idk we need more data points
I would guess they have it because they just want to cover situations where you actually are accepted
If you aren't, you prob just won't see that page
Makes sense
could be loaded on everyones page and activate only if admitted
๐
I wonder if your first choice results effect your second choice results
my ego is damaged. i thought i was a select few who got into a prestigious engi program.
when i visit in late march/early april
i will ask if for the acceptance rate
lol clearly the acceptance rate doesnt matter
the outcomes for people at uiuc are some of the best
yeah ik
but it feels better you got in knowing the acceptance rate is super low
like that is why people feel so good about getting into harvard
and plus the prestige
Sussy baka
yes the street presteige is an ego boost
also there is another question that arises from this
if each major choosen counts as a person applying then how many unique applicants are there
bcs "applications" is different from "applicants"
what
each major receive a certain number of apps
yeah and one person can apply to two majors
does each major count as an application
no
where
idk where uiuc posts the total
where does uiuc post it
probably
Anyone know how competitive uiuc bcog is?
it has an estimate for 2022
but the actual admit% was 10% lower so ~30k unique applicants last year
but thats just illinois residents I think
go to cds
it is not 25k apps
link
thats a year behind though
yep
I need to sleep I forgot why I was doing this lol
thats just for illinois residents
4 cst
ahh gotcha so 5pm est
If EA is any indication itโll come out a lil earlier
How early did EA come out?
Like an hour earlier iirc
yeah
idk but there was the guy who had all the stats for some reason
and if it was correct then as long as you arent applying cs you have a good chance
Oh no
Cs 1st choice bcog 2nd
๐
Do 1st choices effect 2nd choices?
Idk if I have a chance at cs tho
idk I only applied for 1 choice
I would like to think I have an OK chance with my test scores
But I'm an international.... so idk
What is bcog
any cs+econ applicants here
Gpa ? Sat?
well my friend also applied to this as an altrenate and got in
he also had cs as first pick
1550 SAT, 8 APs(all 5), 3.8 Weighted, but my school tests university level STEM subjects(linear algebra, advanced calculus, number theory, modern physics including quantum theory etc)
Idk if toefl matters but 112
does being first gen even carry your acceptances
he has similar stats and got in so you have a good chance for sure
yes
thanks
@tender matrix
Little bit yea
Yea at uiuc it does
Fin aid boost too
you mean not applying for aid boosts
but i applied grainger CS and im nonresident
plus i dont have crazy ECs
i feel like me being asian male CS and first gen just neutralizes itself
so i get no advantage
thats what it feels like to me at this current moment
with me being collegeless still
first gen is marked as considered on the cds
ecs are marked as important i believe
it was marked at impatient
important i think
I mean wait till tmrw
Speculating now doesn't change much
a considerable amount ?
or just like any other school
If instate it's a really nice boost
I have been led to believe
๐ญ

international student :>
lol ๐ญ
is international students worse than oos american?
yes
or just about the same lol
lol I got fked during my admissions
ic ic ๐ฅฒ
why?
they take about the same amount of intls as oos people
but there are less oos people compared to intl
cause only 49 states vs the rest of the world
wdym ?
I checked my admissions file
u got ur admission file?
Bottom admit but ur still in the same class as the top admits
dang :>
can u briefly summerise that if u dont mind lol?
lemme dig it out
498 votes and 140 comments so far on Reddit
ill check it if i survive the mental pain after I finish it
truth
ngl it doesnt bother me
im doing a lot better than other people in my major 
depends whereu from
being evaluated in the indonesia region
such a cheat code
if ur from like china big rip
CS is so easy to gt into herre ๐ญ
damn wish that was me
mfs with 3.4 gpas ๐
jeez how
Well besides safeties
Demographics works
I know some Grainger CS majors that don't know how to code
Till they got here
But I'ma just say
So yes
Welp
bet the admissions office be celebrating tmrw
after going thru so many apps
factos
in what sense
like
if you come from a small country
your chances are boosted
etc
im from ghana so

i moved here jr year
that is better than applying from china for example ๐ญ
oh
then you are in the american pool
which on one hand gv me a spike on other hand fucked my gpa so
uiuc does it by where ur highschool is
ye im domestic ik
bro if i get acccepted i'll be the first girl to go from my country to uiuc (according to cds)
oooooo
I dont wanna dox
w
yeah oman!
woahh
thats cool
that is cool
๐ญ
good luck!!!!
what did you apply for?
@tender matrix do u believe in me
yes I do
dont
i believe in all of you
stats & cs
even if u dont get in here, you'll probably get in somewhere better
YEEAH
at worst i go to vt so cant complain
life could be worse
gluck!!! ๐
ye ive been there for a program
it was amazing
and all the students said the worst hall was the only one open
my mind was like
cuz we had all we could eat, ice cream machine, asian, mexican, whatever u wanted
it was great
everyday
btw are there a good amount of girls in cs classes?
good luck tomorrow friends
