manic jetty

#

for drinks and stuff

tired robin
#

i could see an RA being sus and checking stuff but

#

most, if not all, dont bother

#

just dont be obnoxious about it–plausible deniability?

#

cops have better things to do here

manic jetty

My RA never has searched a single room

They don’t search rooms ever

Unless there’s probable cause or a fire inspection

tired robin
#

gpa only matter for grad right?

valid tendon
strong fox

Yeah

glad latch
#

employers care or not

valid tendon
#

all they will see after the first job is "degree awarded 202x"

glad latch
#

oh i need a 3.5 gpa i think

#

for uiuc

strong fox
#

3.25 for ECE gets you into the masters of engineering program

glad latch
#

how hard

#

because of the honor program and scholarship

tame nova
glad latch
#

scholarship might be lower

strong fox
#

3.5 gets you into masters of science

glad latch
#

actually

valid tendon
#

wait so can i get multiple cs and still be fine? my schedule is pretty hard rn

strong fox
#

My advisor told me@literally yesterday

#

I asked what gpa should I get for an MENG and MS and it was 3.25 and 3.5 respectively

valid tendon

tired robin

what is aid

glad latch
valid tendon

are the harder courses the low level courses like phys 211

empty scroll
valid tendon

or like higher level courses

strong fox
#

Only thing I know is aids

strong fox

You don’t wanna be stuck with bhowmik

tame nova

211/212 is kicking my ass

strong fox
#

Best resource

glad latch
valid tendon
#

man some of these classes have like 2.8 avg gpa

#

scary

strong fox
#

211/212 are very difficult

tame nova
valid tendon
glad latch
#

but if u skip, is that bad

strong fox
#

212 is the hardest class I’ve taken by far

glad latch
#

like u need to learn the stuff?

valid tendon
#

yeah that's what i was thinking as well

strong fox
#

Test out

tame nova
valid tendon
#

i mean

strong fox
#

If you can test out you know the material

valid tendon
#

ap exams are easier

#

than the real classes

strong fox
#

It’s not a GPA boost

glad latch
strong fox
#

That’s the thing

#

Physics is a weedout

#

They ask stupid hard questions

tired robin
glad latch
#

but hs material is not like college material.

#

not in dept

strong fox
#

I understand the content but don’t do well on the tests

empty scroll
#

big difference

glad latch
valid tendon
tired robin
#

lol curve

valid tendon
#

likke the placement test?

tired robin

what is that

empty scroll
strong fox
#

Curves don’t exist

tame nova
strong fox
#

Unless you do shut

glad latch
strong fox
#

Shit

Also physics is curved

#

Against you

glad latch
#

strong fox
#

A 86 is a B

#

Below that

#

Is a B-

glad latch
#

who cares

strong fox
#

A 80 is like a C I think

glad latch
#

ur gpa still same right

#

oh

valid tendon
#

i might not do well on ap physics c em so i will just grind for the uiuc placement test over summer

#

is that feasible?

strong fox
tame nova
tired robin
valid tendon
#

nah trust im dedicated af

tired robin
#

b careful

valid tendon
#

i started prepping for physics c mech over junior yr summer

strong fox
#

Why don’t you

valid tendon

tired robin

worst case

strong fox
#

Hear me out

glad latch
tired robin

Sad

tame nova
glad latch
valid tendon
# tired robin no biggie

strong fox
#

110, a calc, a physics, and Chen

And a gen Ed’s

valid tendon
#

plus i acc like learning so i wouldnt mind doing it over summer

tired robin
tame nova
#

i agree with noah

strong fox
#

Maybe rhet

tired robin
#

we wont know exactly until you know what credit transfers

strong fox
#

You’ll have to retype it

strong fox

It’s not hard

It’s run horribly though

valid tendon
#

and how hard was it to make friends if u dont know anyone there

glad latch
#

calc 2 best?

#

strong fox
#

Like I cannot stress how horrible 110 is run

tame nova
strong fox
#

Friends isn’t hard to make it you’re social

glad latch
tame nova

glad latch

glad latch
#

cuz ik nothing about chem

#

i forgot all of it

glad latch
#

at uiuc

valid tendon
#

wym

tame nova
#

you dont need to take chem if you switch to CompE

glad latch
strong fox
#

I love some of the ways I’ve made friends here tbh

#

Also I would switch to EE if I didn’t have to take Chem

valid tendon
#

wait so for the placement exam, if i alr have a 5 on chemistry can i just bomb the chem placement exam?

#

i would still get credit for 102 and 104

strong fox
#

I mean I wouldn’t

empty scroll
strong fox
#

At the end of the day they don’t need to accept your credit

tame nova
#

CE does 120 first

strong fox
glad latch

Like a general education class

valid tendon
#

nice then i should be out of gen chem and calc 1 & 2

strong fox
#

Maybe I’m wrong about AP credit then

valid tendon
#

just need to grind Emag over the summer and maybe mechanics if i fail the exam

tame nova
tired robin

I’m not ever taking a stats course

tame nova
glad latch

isnt stats a required class for ece

strong fox
#

313 is stats?

empty scroll
#

yeah 410 for ce iirc

tame nova
strong fox
#

I didn’t realize probability counts as stats

#

Then you need to take one stats course

Lol

grim perch

why is calc 2 so infamous here lol

#

seems like a required course

tame nova
strong fox

Manfroi is built diff

tame nova

grim perch
#

manny

strong fox
#

I had him for calc 3

tame nova

Manfroi is the best for diff EQ and calc 3

tame nova

rip

tame nova
grim perch
tame nova
grim perch
#

please

#

i was manifesting uiuc acceptance

#

now i am manifesting college professors

tame nova
#

lol

strong fox
#

For me personally

#

There was enough flexibility

#

To where if I didn’t get a good@professor I could take the class in a later sem

#

That doesn’t work for required classes

#

Early on at least

glad latch
#

u taking calc 2 or 3

strong fox
#

Neither

glad latch
#

and is calc 2 sem or year

glad latch
strong fox
#

I took calc 3 last sem

grim perch
#

oh so its sem based

strong fox
#

All classes are

#

Or 8 week based

glad latch
#

so u have an extra free spot now?

strong fox
#

No

empty scroll
#

should I start with diff eq or linear algebra for first semester?

strong fox
#

Most do lin alg before diff eq

#

I’m doing diff eq first

glad latch
empty scroll
#

well im doing lin alg now but my parents wont pay to get the credit so ill need to take it again

valid tendon
#

can we test out of linalg?

tame nova
valid tendon
#

if im in matse can i test out?

empty scroll
valid tendon
#

shit

tame nova
grim perch
#

so can i skip calc 2

#

if i did not take bc

#

is it in my best interest to skip calc 2

#

cuz people say its horrible

tame nova
#

calc ab = calc 1
calc bc = calc 1 + calc 2

#

you need bc to skip calc 2

grim perch
#

oh well rip

#

if i take over summer can i skip

#

calc 2

tame nova
#

good idea

glad latch
#

ok so i should do that too

#

how the chem classes here

#

should i take ap chem over summer too

tame nova
empty scroll
#

it seems like none of the intro classes are

glad latch
#

ee peeps

strong fox
#

Chem is the sole reason I am not@doing EE

grim perch
valid tendon
#

hopefully since i took linalg already i can do really well in it at uiuc if i cant test out

#

how is diffeq in terms of difficulty

tame nova

strong fox
#

No

valid tendon
empty scroll
tame nova
strong fox
#

I don’t care how much I make

#

I’m doing compE cause I enjoy it

valid tendon

#

noice

tame nova
strong fox
#

Besides, my first job will most likely be CS anyways lol

strong fox
#

So my passion outweighs others brains

tame nova
grim perch
#

also how the physics class here

strong fox
#

Also

grim perch
#

what phys to take as freshie

strong fox
#

I have great communication skills lol

empty scroll
strong fox
#

That’s how I got my internship, my recruiter told me k was hired cause I know how to speak and I’m not an awkward twat

strong fox
grim perch
#

dont most people choose cs cuz money tho lol

strong fox
#

Yes

tame nova
strong fox
#

And those people don’t get into UIUC for the most part

grim perch
#

i wish i could have ur mindest tbh

#

maybe i will

#

after one year

strong fox
#

At the end of the day everyone will have tech skills

#

Not everyone can collaborate

tame nova
#

indeed

#

i wish i was better at socializing tbh

#

im working on it though

grim perch
#

also what physics do most freshmen take

tame nova
strong fox
#

You can be introverted

#

As long as you can have basic decency you’ll be fine

#

If you’re polite and confident it’s enough

tame nova
#

i understand

empty scroll
#

im introverted but can make friends fairly easily

grim perch
#

noah, would u consider urself extroverted

empty scroll
#

do you gain energy when you are by youself or with others

strong fox
#

Uhhhh

#

So

#

I just fake it

#

And it does wonders

#

Cause my mindset is there’s 40k@other undergrads

#

If I fuck it up with one person there’s 39,999 others

empty scroll
#

lol

strong fox
#

I could fuck up around 100 people, and I would still have 39900 other people

#

So why not shoot my shot

#

Or try and make a friend

#

I never have to see them again if I fuck up

#

And that happens

#

I’ve tried making friends

#

And it’s gone horribly

#

And I’ve also never seen some of them again

grim perch
strong fox
#

You just don’t mash

#

You@might not be feeling it one day

#

sage hornet

What’s ling

tender matrix
#

linguistics

#

the study of language, meaning, grammar, and communication

sage hornet
#

Ah nice

tender matrix
#

its a close thats very close to CS actually

#

a lot of the stuff in the ling classes correlate with CS

sage hornet
#

Is that cs + x?

tender matrix
#

yea

#

CS + linguistics

sage hornet
#

Cool

#

How are you doing stat and cs and ling?

tender matrix
#

minor in ling

#

and math

#

stats and cs is my major

#

also i can do it cause I came in as a junior

sage hornet
#

Ah so you can add extra minors on top of a cs + x?

tender matrix
#

yep

sage hornet
#

That’s good to know cuz I’m doing math + cs but I want to explore stat as well

tender matrix
#

you can add majors too

#

I just didnt wanna

tender matrix
#

its like 3 extra classes

grim perch

hence why I'm doing the math minor

glad latch
sage hornet

How many extra classes would a double major be?

tender matrix

lemme cross check rn

about

8 extra classes?

#

or 7

#

depending on ur route

valid tendon
#

thats kinda a lot ngl. thats like a whole more year of college

tender matrix
#

well depends on ur gen eds

#

if ur done with gen eds

#

it would totally fit

actually planned right

#

6 classes is possible

which is about 6 semesters

if you do one per sem

not bad

are there any good calc 2 teachers or are they all bad

or if i take bc over summer i can just skip

I have half my gen eds left

and Im still double minoring

mainly cause ling covers a nice amount of gen eds I didnt have

I had berwick evans, he was aight

do you know anything abt the Technology & Management Minor?

empty scroll
tired robin
# timid island Wdym

at best you're gonna get subjective opinions or loose reasons to pick either thing. the school and degree names themselves at this point dont (and shouldnt) determine enough

empty scroll
#

looks like the minor is highly competetive

tired robin
#

possible, though i havent heard anyone taking it–could email whoever "runs" that

empty scroll
#

yeah will do

#

it says its only avaiable to sophmores and up

#

"Students who wish to pursue this minor must apply for admission to The Hoeft Technology & Management Program during winter break of their sophomore year. Enrollment in the minor is limited and admission is competitive. Applications are reviewed by the program staff, academic directors, current students in the program, and alumni of the program. Offers of admission are based on the student's personal and professional goals, academic record, extracurricular involvement, teamwork experience, leadership potential, and commitment to making the T&M Program's courses and co-curricular offerings a high priority."

too many people here go into CompE expecting it to be the same as CS when it's not

timid island
#

ECE does interest me but in terms of career goals I want to be a software engineer

tame nova
#

most CompE majors here go into SWE

Interesting

#

Do you know how soon Id be able to transfer to ce from ee once the term starts

Anyone here got denied or waitlisted??

tame nova

#

I’m a little surprised they accepted me because I referred to them in my essays as Caltech and referenced Caltech specific programs as I forgot to change my essays. But, I was applying for math/physics OOS so their acceptance rate for that is probability pretty high compared to CS.
