tired robin

u never know

fluid flame

waitlisted ✌️😔

tired robin
#

ive seen undergrad CS majors turn to design

#

art history to agricultural engr

surreal dome
#

I'm considering appealing to stats as third major. is stats usually overenrolled or not?

tender matrix
#

nah

#

stats is ok

#

stats and cs is not

tired robin
#

well, "ok"

surreal dome
#

what's the least competitive/most empty major in LAS related to math/cs/stats?

#

or should I just do IS

strong fox
#

just do IS

#

and transfer

tired robin
#

...

#

stop

#

horrible stigma

tender matrix
#

hmm dont do IS unless you know what it is

thorny tree
#

UIUC is only good for CS

#

dont apply for anything else

tired robin
#

...

strong fox
#

only good for cs is copium

thorny tree
#

i mean ranking wise

tired robin
#

...

strong fox
#

copium

tired robin
#

we have #1 master library science

#

like on the planet

#

idk how

strong fox
#

ece is also #4

patent sundial

fr uiuc is only good for compeng and cs?

strong fox

bio eng is top 5

surreal dome
tired robin

our medical engr program is only one in the US i believe

strong fox

business is getting good

our agricultural is obviously god lol

strong fox
#

also data science + info sciences is like #8

which is not grainger

#

mech eng is like top 5

random iron
tender matrix
tired robin
#

imo, the untested design of IS program + the stigma around "cs wannabees" are different issues and neither help

strong fox

agri and bio eng is great and is ACES

YOU CANNOT TRANSFER INTO CS AT UIUC, ONLY FIRST YEARS ARE ADMITTTED. YOU CANNOT TRANSFER FROM OTHER COLLEGES OR FROM A UIUC MAJOR TO CS. ONLY CS + X CAN BE TRANSFERRED INTO @solar portal pin this?

how difficult is transfering to cs + x?

i think quite hard

dont recommend going here for any info or ds major

maybe its bc im oos idk

are any of u in AI@UIUC?

It's coming out soon tho

#

I think

tender matrix
valid tendon
#

why’s that?

tender matrix
#

Idk the guy that started it

#

Is kinda odd

#

Gives off a weird vibe

valid tendon
#

ah okay

echo minnow
valid tendon
#

even tho im not cs I still want to do all the cs stuff

#

didn’t even apply cs

olive shard
#

i know someone waitlisted info/ds with a 4.0 gpa

#

is that yield protect

echo minnow
timid island
#

@tender matrix do you think I’d be able to transfer into cs+physics next year

olive shard
#

with all ap classes besides for english

#

and cs job

sterile cipher
#

How competitive is info

#

Idk myself

olive shard
#

70% acceptance rate lmao

sterile cipher
#

then yea probably lol

valid tendon
tender matrix
valid tendon
#

has anyone ever gotten into info then double majored in cs

tender matrix
#

Nononono not that

valid tendon
sterile cipher
tender matrix
#

You do some DS classes

#

Hence OP stat and cs

tender matrix
tender matrix
echo minnow
tender matrix
#

You have to get in for CS then do info

valid tendon
#

an okay

#

ah

tender matrix
#

For IS majors try to transfer to CS + x tho

valid tendon
#

is info any good tho? Like can u still get a job and all with it

tender matrix
#

Lol

echo minnow
#

info

#

is pretty ass

echo minnow
#

tbh

tender matrix
#

Know what it is

echo minnow
#

theres a post on reddit

#

complaining about it

#

ill send

tender matrix
#

Yea it's far less work than CS

#

My roommates an IS major and all he does is play video games

tired robin
#

xd

tender matrix
#

They don't take many technical classes

#

But it depends on what ur looking for

tired robin
#

is+ds seems promising

tender matrix
valid tendon
#

nah I’m just curious. I got in MSE anyways

tender matrix
#

They don't take calc 2

echo minnow
#

its horrible

#

literally

tender matrix
#

Nor any pure stats classes

tired robin
#

so

tender matrix
#

And only 5 technical classes

#

The rest is data ethics

echo minnow
#

every x+ds is trying to tranfer to cs+x

#

lmao

valid tendon
#

the whole A- GPA thing is scary tho. I’m used to a 90 being an A💀

tired robin
#

lol me

#

o well

tender matrix
#

To me it's a very underdeveloped program

echo minnow
#

yeah

#

its horrible

#

i dont recommend it at all

tender matrix
#

I feel like the ischool tries to scam people into getting into it

#

It has way too many leaking patches rn for a DS major

#

Purdue DS takes calc 3

#

IS + DS doesn't even take calc 2

#

Nor stats

#

Tbh my personal belief is that if you wanna do DS at uiuc, do a stat major with a CS minor

echo minnow
#

yeah

#

stats/math is way better

#

than ds

tender matrix
#

I agree

#

We have some cracked ass DS classes in the stat dept

#

Like deep learning

#

Statistical learning

#

Survival analysis

#

Database systems

#

Etc

tender matrix
#

My recommendation is

#

If you wanna do CS

#

And you got IS here

#

Don't come

#

The way IS major is rn seems more like a social science major

zenith sparrow
#

wait

#

what's the OOS cs admit rate

tender matrix
#

Below 5%

zenith sparrow
#

wtf really????

raw tree
zenith sparrow
#

I thought it was around 25%

#

huh

#

well TIl

tender matrix
#

Nah

raw tree
#

for DS at uiuc

tender matrix
#

It's not a major here

raw tree
#

IS+DS?

tender matrix
#

They have a DS + X program

#

The IS acceptance rate is 68%

#

So I assume IS + DS isn't too far off

steady bay
#

Thoughts on cs + advertising?

tender matrix
steady bay
#

how are job prospects in comparison to pure cs

tender matrix
#

About the same

#

Advantages for companies like tiktok I suppose

steady bay
#

Cool

sterile cipher
#

or maybe combined

#

I forget

tender matrix
#

Yep

zenith sparrow
#

*see

tender matrix
#

CS + x transfer will be hard

#

Everyone and their mom wants to transfer to CS + stats here

#

And they'll only take like 5 people

#

Or smth

gaunt lagoon
#

Dawg

tender matrix
#

So don't bet on transferring in

gaunt lagoon
#

When am i going to get mine i need an ego boost after clemson denied me ;-;

echo minnow
tender matrix
#

Cause CS transfers are blocked

echo minnow
#

they been blocked

tender matrix
#

This is the first year you can only switch to cs + x

echo minnow
#

o

#

ic

#

i thought they been blocked for a min

tender matrix
#

Nah

#

The first set of transfer apps got sent in

#

For only CS + x

#

The website states since 2022 you can't switch into cs

echo minnow
#

😩

tender matrix
#

For the class of '26

#

And beyond

echo minnow
#

wonder if i have higher chance if im alr in cs+x

tender matrix
#

Yea you do

#

A lot higher actually

echo minnow
#

op

#

cool

valid tendon
#

man I’m seriously so hyped that I got in

tender matrix
#

Because the way transfer works

#

Is that you need approval from the CS dept

#

And the other dept

echo minnow
#

oh

#

i already got approval

#

🔥

tender matrix
#

If ur already in cs

#

You got approval

#

Or at least much easier to get approval

#

So yes switching between cs + x is quite easy but you do still need to make the reqs

echo minnow
#

oki

tender matrix
#

Also will make it harder for other non CS + x to transfer in

#

LOL

echo minnow
#

😭

#

gotta do what i gotta do

tender matrix
#

LOL

#

Ngl a lot of CS + adv ppl I know

#

Are tryna get into CS + stats

echo minnow
#

😳

tired robin
#

...

#

nobody's ever satisfied huh

echo minnow
#

yes

#

but

#

cs + stats is more useful

#

thats why

#

i wann switch

valid tendon
echo minnow
#

cs + advertising

valid tendon
#

what does adv mean

#

Ohhhhhhh

tender matrix
#

You gotta do what you gotta do

tired robin
#

?

tender matrix
#

To get skills find job etc

valid tendon
#

that’s so cool uiuc has so many cool cs + x

echo minnow
#

also cs + advertising is more advertising heavy than id like

valid tendon
#

like crop sciences

tired robin
#

yeah and what's +stats gonna do over +adv

valid tendon
#

that’s so cool

tender matrix
valid tendon
#

and astro that would have been my 2nd choice behind MatSE

echo minnow
#

yea astro is sick

patent sundial
tender matrix
tired robin
#

im tired of people sticking everything to their major or college or whatnot

echo minnow
#

some stats classes hella useful

#

in the cs + stats curriculum

#

like

#

cs446 counts towards your degree

#

but not for advertising

astral pilot
echo minnow
#

cs 446 and 481 sound cool

astral pilot
tired robin
#

hot take: cs is the best and worst thing about this school

tender matrix
#

I agree

echo minnow
tender matrix
#

But hey I already sucked myself into this hole

Might as well as ride it through

patent sundial
#

for swe

tender matrix
#

Depends on ur past experience

tired robin
#

^^

tender matrix
#

Most my friends had a lot of past experience

#

Sampling bias exists

echo minnow
#

ur saying that like uiuc is some shit

#

school

#

lmao

tender matrix
#

Different schools want different personalities

tired robin
#

point is don't let IS (or any major) stop you from setting yourself up for something else

#

if anything, take advantage of that it does offer (even if v little)

tender matrix
#

Altho if u wanna doore techy stuff I highly recommend a CS minor with the IS major

tired robin
#

i thought i had a chance at Spotify but ig not lol

echo minnow
#

the cs minor at uiuc is rlly good

tender matrix
#

Damn Spotify

tired robin
#

our minor is cracked

tender matrix
#

Free subscription????

tired robin
#

lol

tender matrix
#

Yea our minor is good

#

It's a bit tough to get thru

tired robin
#

but so difficult imo

tender matrix
#

Yea

#

Especially if u come in with no exp

echo minnow
#

173 + 124 + 128 + 225 + 374 + 4xx elective

#

for cs minor

#

thats like

tender matrix
#

It will be hard

tired robin
#

they're still ironing out the 128 through 225 sequence

echo minnow
#

way better than otehr school

tender matrix
#

Yea

#

CS minor sets u up for the

tired robin
#

and it's gonna be a shame for those that get turned off by 128

tender matrix
#

MCS thing too

tired robin
#

right

tender matrix
tired robin
#

ik challen complains that so many do well in 124 but we don't have the space for them to continue

tender matrix
#

Yea

I mean they do well cause grading is lenient

patent sundial
# tender matrix Free subscription????

Sorry I say this to an UIUC undergrad, but I feel like rutgers even though its a slightly worse school might be better from me since its 20k cheaper per year and I can do computer science. I feel like doing infomation science is a bit too risky.

tender matrix
#

128 is a whole separate beast

tired robin
#

fair but i don't think ppl are meant to learn perfectly

tender matrix
#

If you wanna do CS go rutgers

echo minnow
#

is at uiuc is shit

tender matrix
#

It's a good school for CS

tired robin
#

if you want CS go somewhere else

tender matrix
#

And cheaper

tired robin
#

rutgers is beyond fine

tender matrix
#

Rutgers is in a nice area too

tired robin
#

beyond

tender matrix
#

Iirc

tired robin
#

rutgers research pubs go brr

tender matrix
#

Fr

#

Top 7 in CS research

patent sundial
#

ok

tender matrix
#

Take the cheaper option too

tired robin
#

ye

tender matrix
#

Save yourself some stress over money

tired robin
#

ik ppl r like you can make the money back

#

but a) not necessarily that quickly/easily

tender matrix
#

But what if you don't you know

#

It's risky

tired robin
#

b) still less immediate strain

tender matrix
#

c) more money to spend on yourself

#

Obviously

tired robin
#

i still debate what if i just did math at a UC or something

#

lol

tender matrix
#

Implicature moment

tired robin
#

but then i said to myself

#

I'll probably regret not choosing music as part of my degree for the rest of my early life

#

fought way too hard for it

zenith sparrow
#

@tired robin interested to know but what do you think is bad about UIUC?

tired robin
#

so here we are

tired robin
#

tired robin
#

ik we're trying to make some of our music tech more accessible, in particular for game studies and design minor students

#

which includes a really cool set of MUS 407-409

#

acoustic techniques and such

tender matrix
#

Ohh interesting

tired robin
#

we have straight up beatmaking in MUS 499BT, highly recommend despite it being work. we invite pro guests quite often to speak

tender matrix

It's a lot of work?

tired robin

tender matrix
#

Oh wow that is a lot

tired robin

tender matrix
#

The thing is

#

Math is 2 extra classes

#

Its so tangible

tired robin
#

#

would you

tender matrix
#

Although alternatively I do my gen eds over summer

#

And then make time for those classes

#

Cause I'm missing half my gen eds almost

tired robin
#

feel better taking two adv math for a minor or taking two crazy other courses

tender matrix
#

Ugh true

turbid crag
#

damn whyd i get waitlisted

tender matrix
#

Expect I do wanna take numerical analysis which is part of the math minor

tired robin
#

make sure you prioritize geneds that satisfy 2+ categories

tender matrix
#

Leaving one extra class for the math minor

tired robin
tender matrix
tired robin
#

make sure classes double count

#
