Yeah but with the course requirements it might take longer

no

#

ur already in ece

#

so i doubt you need to take everything that someone from outside of ece has to do

#

to transfer to ece

#

It is EXTREMELY easy to switch within ECE if you do well in ECE110 and ECE120 and keep a good GPA (which is pretty easy to do since 110 and 120 are very basic). The advisors told me that to switch, it’s as simple as just filling out a form, getting it signed by the head of the department, and da-ta you’re in CE.

A lot of ling classes in FLB

I'll see if I can get in then

maybe email a professor

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 1:45 PM

It shouldn't be locked

Maybe try Beckman too

They have some linguistic research going on there

Obviously tour the siebel center of computer science

#

sage hornet How hard are they

Idk but I’d assume it varies course to course

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

tender matrix A watered down version

They don’t need to take the full course though I do t think that’s a big deal

#

The DS+IS program isn’t bad by any means it’s very strong

#

It’s new but not bad

patent sundial Mar 6, 2023, 5:04 PM

#

Which CS + X is the easiest to get into ?

#

Thinkin of appealing for a diff major

#

Applied to Cs only…

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

strong fox It’s new but not bad

I agree its not bad

#

its just there are better alternatives at UIUC for the goal

#

like a stat major will be stronger imo

bright zinc Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

has anyone appealed and successfully gotten into CS

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

It depends what you wanna do with industry

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

yea

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

At the end of the day

#

The master is what matters tbh

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:06 PM

#

yea

#

if you get a masters its good

#

but most masters in DS

#

require you to take calc 3

#

as an undergrad

#

which IS+DS does not do

#

personally I like Astro+DS

#

because they take some heavy classes

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

I like Astro + CS

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

not only calc3 but also quantum physics etc

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

Astronomy right?

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

yep

#

Astrology 💀

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

I’m meeting with an advisor today to ask about a double major in astronomy 💀

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:07 PM

thats a double degree??

#

right

#

cause ur in grainger?

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

Yep

#

Computer engineering / astronomy

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

damn wait so

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

All astronomy core counts as compE tech electives

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

for double degree

#

do you need to redo gen eds?

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

No

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

aight thats cool then

#

basically ur actually in both colleges then?

#

LAS + Grainger

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

Yeah

I’m gonna be an LAS dude

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:09 PM

yea thats gonna be cool

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

Yes

#

I wanna see the difference in difficulty lmao

#

Astronomy courses have a kinda low gpa too

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

hey does anyone know if maths + cs and stat + cs is considered as cs + x

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:09 PM

#

But my friends said different types of people are taking the courses

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

vapid marsh hey does anyone know if maths + cs and stat + cs is considered as cs + x

Math + CS is not

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

strong fox Astronomy courses have a kinda low gpa too

yea its physics

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

Stats + cs I don’t think so

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

maths cs is so 7% acceptance rate?

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

yea stats&CS is not cs+x

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

and stats cs is 20smth?

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

no

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

ah

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

its about the same for both

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

so only stuff listed on cs + x r cs + x

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

tender matrix yea its physics

Not really

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

idk what they count statcs and mathcs as

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

That’s astrophysics

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

but its lower than most cs+x programs

#

oh

vapid marsh Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

okok thx

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

so like blackholes?

#

or smth

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

Astronomy only needs one physics course

#

Yeah

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

ahhh

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

Lemme pull up courses

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:11 PM

#

oh we have an astrophyiscs major???

#

I didnt even know that lol

#

oh you guys do take the 4 physics sequence

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

oh huh the astro major is quite short

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

Both my majors do

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

like most LAS majors

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

Tbis is for astronomy

#

astrophysics seems too much to double with

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:12 PM

#

yea actually astro works well with compE

#

very large overlap

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:13 PM

#

Yep

#

I just gotta hope I can graduate in 4 years

#

That’s what I’m meeting with an advisor for

#

Also

#

My advisor told me I only need a 3.25 for an masters in engineering at uiuc lol

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:14 PM

#

oo

#

auto admit

#

or like BSMS

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:15 PM

Not auto admit

But a solid chance

And am doing school at uiuc for undergrad so

Either neutral or helpful

I’m sssuming neutral but

Public schools are meant to serve their states

cursive knoll Mar 6, 2023, 5:26 PM

What is the grade system in UIUC; do u all have like a final exam each semester which determines ur whole GPA?

no

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:32 PM

#

cursive knoll What is the grade system in UIUC; do u all have like a final exam each semester ...

depends on the class

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

Meh

#

I mean

#

Yeah what BJZ said

#

I have some clssses where a final is worth 5-10%

#

And then one where it’s worth 25%

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

yea

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:33 PM

#

And tests are 65%

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

I think there was a class where a final is 60%

#

but there wont be a class with 100% final

#

but just read the syllabus and map out what you need to emphasize

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:34 PM

#

Yeah

#

But often times final will determine your grade

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

yea

#

most classes finals weigh a lot

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

Some classes finals will re place the worst test too

#

But that’s rare

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:37 PM

#

oh ye

#

theres that

#

some classes just dont have a final

#

namely the first few cs classes

strong fox Mar 6, 2023, 5:38 PM

#

I think a higher level ECE class doesn’t

#

ECE 110 replaces

tender matrix Mar 6, 2023, 5:38 PM

timid island Could I sub ECE220 for CS128?

Yea probably

#

For cs majors 128 and 173 are the prereq for 225

tired robin Mar 6, 2023, 10:16 PM

#

i'd say 225 is really difficult to get first semester as that tends to be first sem for sophs

echo minnow Mar 6, 2023, 10:24 PM

tired robin i'd say 225 is really difficult to get first *semester* as that tends to be firs...

Yea I’m saying second semester tho

if i want a ds related minor should i minor in stats or cs

echo minnow Mar 6, 2023, 11:05 PM

cs is more useful

#

but stats would be more related to ds

depends how comfortable you are; but imo it's OOP fundamentals taught fast

not terrrible tho

generally most people regard it as easy

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 1:56 AM

empty scroll how close is kotlin and java. I heard they are similar but dont know the specifi...

kotlin is a "successor" in some respects; imo, a mondernized rendition of the language and somewhat meant to replace it

#

also the "primary" lang for android development, replacing java

#

much better null handling, no "everything is a class lmao", etc.

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 1:58 AM

i remember him mentioning that zuck asked him to work on facebook during its harvard days so in an alternate universe he could be hella rich lol

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

tired robin *generally* most people regard it as easy

class avg is a 90? (though thats misleading, again very leniently graded != you are fully comfortable with everything it teaches)

it's meant to be for CS majors, minors, etc. (though not to be confused with out CS 101, which is poorly taught imo)

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 1:59 AM

#

most people will probably test out of that though

#

with apcsa

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

it has a whole page on proffing out, but imo AP CS A is not enough

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:00 AM

for cs 101?

yeah

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

oh yeah definitely not from looking at what it covers

#

csa has 3 units on types of arrays only

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:00 AM

#

motivated/accel ppl can prob test out of 124

#

which i shouldve considered doing more

#

but i outweighted it with the hell that 128+173 brings

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:01 AM

#

valid tendon csa has 3 units on types of arrays only

yeah you'll need a (fairly) basic understanding of common DS

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

scary fr

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:02 AM

#

tired robin which i shouldve considered doing more

i sometimes regret not trying to prof out of 124 but it most likely woulda killed my schedule and hope in life for semester 1, at the benefit of completing 225 in 2nd sem (which is really nice)

#

128+173 is no joke, though theres a handful that prof all the way to starting with 374 lmao

#

i remember us just nuking the difficulty of 128 prof exam in the past tho

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:03 AM

#

im gonna grind teh whole summer and test out of physics 1 2 hopefully

#

if i bomb the ap

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

a big emphasis im hearing from the intro course profs is to get you to code a fk ton, regardless how experienced you are. we used to run a 125+126 sequence but that didnt fit well with the CS+X or minor sequence, so 125 -> 124 and 126 (where u code to hell) -> 128 (C++ hell) + 222 (semester group proj)

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:04 AM

#

that makes sense

#

this sem im taking intro to cs at georgia tech and even tho i know python, the psets are just so much coding

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:05 AM

#

yeah, thats probably somewhat by design

#

unfortunately not all code you write will be interesting

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:05 AM

#

yeah its always simple stuff just like...hella problems

#

should easily get an A but not fun

tired robin Mar 7, 2023, 2:08 AM

#

i assume ur going for cs minor, so if so, you got hella time. if anything, mind might change as you go

#

imo it is a phenomenally tough minor as we chuck you through most of the CS intro sequence, so i wish employers respected it more (at least those in our local research park might)

valid tendon Mar 7, 2023, 2:20 AM

#

tired robin i assume ur going for cs minor, so if so, you got hella time. if anything, mind ...

yes i am. maybe stats since im particularly interested in ds but well see

Do you guys think gtech cs or uiuc cs is better

Or how do they compare

bright zinc Mar 7, 2023, 2:34 AM

uiuc cs is better

gtech has better overall prestige.

but gt has cs threads which are really cool and better location

as a cs major at uiuc

and get a's in all my first-year classes

any tips anyone

Proficiency tests to get out of low level cs classes

Other than that just put in a shit ton of time
