DARSHAN GUPTA

[glad latch]

purdue has the ugliest logo out there

[tender matrix]

ngl i dont think purdue even views us as rivals

they just

dont care about us 💀

[strong fox]

we dont either

only the engineering departments have beef

[tender matrix]

yea true

[strong fox]

otherwise our schools arent rivals lmao

our rival is northwestern

[tender matrix]

ew

💀

[strong fox]

i dont like the school

[tender matrix]

[tender matrix]

my friend said there was

||rapey culture||

[tender matrix]

ahh

[glad latch]

what about uchicago

[tender matrix]

too many

[strong fox]

💀

[strong fox]

horrible area

[tender matrix]

hyde park

bigger than some cities

LOL

cuz of how bad it is

also campus sucks

for uchicago

its sooooo gloomy

[strong fox]

campus is safe

one step outside

[tender matrix]

L

[strong fox]

well thats just chicago

[tender matrix]

yea the only time I've had a racist encounter was in chicago

💀

I feel quite safe on uiuc campus tbh

[strong fox]

im sorry

but sounds about right

[strong fox]

i feel moderately safe'

its

decently anti semitic

[tender matrix]

💀

[strong fox]

so ironically i typically get in more discriminatory situations than my friends

[tender matrix]

yea campus has some issues

[strong fox]

and theyre all brown

[tender matrix]

oh

oh are you jewish?

[strong fox]

yeah

[tender matrix]

ah

wait sorry if this questions is liek weird

but like

how do you tell someone is jewish

like from other people

[strong fox]

uhhh

well

[tender matrix]

I literally cannot tell who is and who isnt when looking

[strong fox]

if youre jewish

[tired robin]

you ask

[strong fox]

you can usually tell

and i had someone just ask me

[tired robin]

duck typing

[strong fox]

"so what do you think of israel and palestine"

that was bad

[tender matrix]

huh

bruh

[tired robin]

...

[tender matrix]

yea no there were those antisemtici posters up last year

that was awful

[strong fox]

yeah

i remember seeing that

its pretty bad here

[tender matrix]

yea

I would just be careful ig

[strong fox]

i am

[tender matrix]

no other ways to put it

[strong fox]

i usually dont say

i just lie

[tender matrix]

yea good idea

[strong fox]

thats the one benefit

[tender matrix]

yea

[strong fox]

if i say im not jewish nothing happens

[tender matrix]

crazy honestly

especially coming from a country that is

well not country

but a city with a lot of jewish infleunce

its kinda crazy that other places have different views

[strong fox]

wait wait wait

[tender matrix]

on this stuff

[strong fox]

which city

[tender matrix]

shanghai

[strong fox]

HUH

IT HAS A LOT OF JEWISH INFLUENCE?

[tender matrix]

yea its a weird thign

but yea shanghai had a large jewish population

its a well known thing in shanghai at least

i think there still is quite a sizeable population there

[strong fox]

"Shanghai was notable for a long period as the only place in the world that unconditionally offered refuge for Jews escaping from the Nazis."

thats crazy

wow

i know theres a lot of refuge with india and some latin american countries

[tender matrix]

yea

[strong fox]

but china i never knew

[tender matrix]

yea its kinda odd cause china rn with minorities is 💀

but ig back then it mustve been better with other races and stuff

but yea I remember seeing a bunch of stuff with jewish infleunce

they also helped the people living in the shanghai ghettos

[strong fox]

thats fucking nuts

wow

im reading on it

i mean

china and US were big allies

until

cold war

[tender matrix]

basically yea

until the ccp controlled china

they were allies

[strong fox]

yeah

and now tensions are

dropping?

its complicated

[tired robin]

eh

[tender matrix]

yea

it is what it is i guess

[tender matrix]

tbh as long as war doesnt break out

[strong fox]

LOL

[strong fox]

i doubt war will break out

[tender matrix]

cs+music moment

[tender matrix]

[strong fox]

im unfit to be drafted so

i dont mind being used for intelligence though

[tender matrix]

ah

[strong fox]

typical CE to lockheed martin pipeline

[tender matrix]

if war breaks out

LOL

[tender matrix]

LOL true

[strong fox]

i dont think i signed up for the US draft

[tired robin]

[tired robin]

[strong fox]

Ok so

Just in case I need government aid later on in life

I’ll just bank on the hope

I won’t be fit enough

Muscular atrophy Ftw ig

[cursive knoll]

Can we change dorms after a semester?

[strong fox]

You don’t need to wait even a semester

If you can find an open dorm

You can request a roommate change any time

Or switch iirc whenever up until uiuc is about to start

[timid island]

@tender matrix I called admissions again and they said there was a note about my B in physics and that my writing wasn’t “competitive enough”

[tender matrix]

ah...

sounds like me

they bashed me for a B in algebra

sophomore year too

[timid island]

Yeah but also like how did I get into EE which actually requires physics knowledge

[bitter sparrow]

Do we have to submit final ib grades before acceptance?

[patent sundial]

not the worst

ive seen bdsm club advertisements at berkeley

in addition to furry club ads

[fluid flame]

you can call them and ask for the reason for your decision?

[empty scroll]

yes you can

[bitter sparrow]

Is it only call or can u email aswell?

[steady bone]

wait what i can ask right now??

how

like acceptances too?

[steady bay]

is there a discord for admitted ppl

[patent sundial]

how did i get waitlisted with 2 C's

if apparently B's are enough for a note

[dusky apex]

like i said I'm chill with furries its just funny

[hasty plinth]

bro i had a 2 Bs in ap physics one in chem one in bio a b in algebra 2 and two B-s in ap calc

ion even know at this point

cuz i got in

And i got CHP

So like luck or some shit ngl

[crimson echo]

Wow

Are you in state?

[hasty plinth]

Yeah, but like a ton of people i know that had better gpas didnt get in

[kindred perch]

i don’t even remember what I wrote for this school

[late crest]

also a B in ap physics 1 squad

[empty scroll]

lol odd

[strong fox]

It’s holistic remember

They won’t take someone with pretty good grades but that’s it

Also your HS also matters

[dusky apex]

wait i had a decent amount of bs

wonder if i should call that would be fun

see my notes

[empty scroll]

yes im wondering if I should do the same

[tender matrix]

@tired robin you were right about refactoring

after 16 hours

I finally got it

literally took me 4 times the time as mountain paths

[tired robin]

lmao it's an unfortunate strategy

I'm refactoring a python module soon I'm gonna cry it's gonna be so pain

[tender matrix]

Hahaha...

[modern river]

포비 better

So stoic

[vapid marsh]

nah loopy is the cutest

[static pulsar]

Korean >

Im biased

[patent sundial]

Korean is easier to learn bc it’s phonetic

Chinese/Japanese is tough bc you have to memorize pronunciation of each word

[bitter sparrow]

Do i really have to contact the help desk to set up my email?

[tired robin]

i dont remember doing so, but doesnt hurt to ask if you're stuck

[bitter sparrow]

Nvm i just had to wait an hr

[dusky apex]

is it feasible to live in ikenberry commons as a freshman if you're doing cs+x or will all my classes be in grainger

not a huge walk but is the ac and quad worth it

[steady bone]

all languages are phonetic the only nonphonetic language is ASL and gestured languages

i think what you mean is that korean writing system used the korean alphabet like english, where each letter or component tells you the pronunciation of the character

japanese has a similar system with hiragana and katakana (their main 2 writing systems) but i think you are referring to kanji (borrowed chinese characters)

[patent sundial]

literally the only easy thing about korean is hangeul

grammar is a nightmare and there are a bazillion homophones

i feel as if the same is true for chinese and japanese

[tender matrix]

The Grammar system tho

I do like the Korean alphabet

Hangul

[tired robin]

most classes, though not necessarily for cs. buses will easily take you from 6-pack to union/grainger area

[tender matrix]

Especially the way it's written

With the mouth shapes and all

[tender matrix]

Ngl you won't be having any classes at siebel freshmen year

[dusky apex]

that's what I heard

[tender matrix]

Yea

[dusky apex]

do people call it 6-pack that's great

[tender matrix]

You won't need to go up to Grainger

Most of the time

[tender matrix]

Yea iken dining hall is better than most

[empty scroll]

I got a scholarship email from uiuc?

[glad latch]

send

congrats tho!

[empty scroll]

its in my fin aid

they sent 4k per year

better than all other colleges so far

@glad latch check fin aid supposedly they gave it out recently

thats where its showing up

[glad latch]

i put no on financial aid

i dont see anything in there

[empty scroll]

oh

nvr mind then

[strong fox]

par used to be good

i wouldve rated it #1 first sem

also imo ike is the worst but

its all subjective

[tender matrix]

Ah

I dun like isr

I need to try par and Allen someday

[tired robin]

try?

[tender matrix]

like the dining hall

[tired robin]

ah

ike has good stuff someties

[tender matrix]

I hate illini tower food

[tired robin]

allen not bad but limitd

oh

HA

[tender matrix]

I've been eating curry this break

and its so much better

[tired robin]

nice

[tender matrix]

cooking take so much time tho

[tired robin]

fair but can balance with (near)ready/frozen things and some planning

i did jap curry in 30 mins was so good

[tender matrix]

me everyday of break basically

[tender matrix]

I'll need to figure this out next year

when i live not on campus

[tired robin]

youll get used to it

i love cooking but others not so much

[tender matrix]

ah

I do like it

but like idk how my time management will be

got an air fryer tho

[tired robin]

omg i need that

next year tho

[tender matrix]

yea

it seems convienent af

[echo minnow]

hey thats a macbook

[vapid marsh]

nice uni

[vapid marsh]

yea its ass

[cursive knoll]

Can CE major take courses in drama ??

[tidal parcel]

https://tenor.com/view/illinois-basketball-altgeld-alma-gif-20745818

[bitter sparrow]

Anyone know when i can see how much i have to pay?

[tender matrix]

Mhm

[tender matrix]

April I think

[bitter sparrow]

Ok ty

Also, would u say that cmu ece is better than uiuc ece in terms of jobs? Is it worth 80k more?

[tired robin]

4 macbooks or 1/3 of one, depending on what you buy :p

[tired robin]

better is arguable (and i'd say private uni name + services + location?? carry more than programs themselves), but hell no 80K

(imho)

[bitter sparrow]

Ok ty i was thinking the same but rankings have ruined my life for the last 2 yrs

[surreal dome]

tbf uiuc is 60k too

20k is trivial at that point if it provides a big enough advantage

[tired robin]

80k more?

[tired robin]

not easy for a lot of people to say

[surreal dome]

yeah true, just meant that this isn't as clear cut as 20k/yr vs 80k/yr and there might be some redeeming factor for cmu

[tidal parcel]

is it worth going here for cs+econ over umass pure cs if i want to work in cs?

[tired robin]

we've answered this a million times: CS+X degrees are CS degrees. whether you like or want to really use the +X is up to you (though I wished more people took advantage of them for the X). CS-wise, the differences CS+X have pose little compromise on what you want to achieve

[bitter sparrow]

Do student loans in the us have interest?

[glad latch]

got my scholarship total

@empty scroll can u send the link for the grainger 4/1 admitted tour again

my friend wants to register but the link is broken too

[tired robin]

depends on the loan, you might get some that are 0% until sometime after you graduate. most of it is by interest from my experience

[tired robin]

dam

[merry eagle]

where did you find this?

[glad latch]

Email

[valid tendon]

what is ECE scholarship?

[glad latch]

Electrical and computer engineering

[valid tendon]

how do u qualify I mean

congrats tho fr

[empty scroll]

they sent me an email today too

no gpa for some reason

[empty scroll]

let me find it

https://myillini.illinois.edu/AdmittedEvents/ece_admitted

[empty scroll]

no one knows but its most likely based on good essays since basically everyone is qualified in ece

[valid tendon]

CONGRATS!!!

that’s pretty crazy

[echo minnow]

go to cmu if mommy and daddy can afford

but like

u can get same job from uiuc

uiuc is rlly good too

but cmu is more clouted

[glad latch]

cmu is more prestigious

and is more socially dead

[echo minnow]

yeah true

[empty scroll]

top 5 depression school

[echo minnow]

depends what u want in a school

u can have fun in uiuc

i personally would go to cmu for prestige💀💀

[glad latch]

same

that is exactly why i applied ed there

[empty scroll]

I applied ed there but looking back I wouldnt have wanted to go

[glad latch]

yea same

i actually am kinda happy i got rejected now

[valid tendon]

would not ed because that would lock you into paying insanely hi tuition

[empty scroll]

yeah makes sense

[tired robin]

i believe you can turn down an ED if you prove tuition is too much (by slightly arbitrary metrics, e.g. EFC)

[static pulsar]

no loci right?

for wl?

not even updateS?

[cursive knoll]

R u intl?

[glad latch]

no

[bright zinc]

Appeal denied

[sage hornet]

Do appeals ever work

[tidal parcel]

Rarely

[static pulsar]

Mostly only a ut thing

Tbh

[bright zinc]

What type of question is this

[strong fox]

Depends on the class

Also comparatively CMU and UIUC are the same

CMU doesn’t have really more prestige

[strong fox]

Not in the slightest

[strong fox]

Rip

[bitter sparrow]

Ty. what about uiuc to purdue. Is it worth 40k more?

[bitter sparrow]

Oof sorry to hear

[strong fox]

Is which worth 40k more

[bitter sparrow]

Uiuc

[strong fox]

No

Well

[bitter sparrow]

Its 10k a year more for me

[strong fox]

Hard question

[bright zinc]

The AO that I talked to liked me as well

Whatever

[strong fox]

Is money an issue?

[bright zinc]

2%

[strong fox]

A Purdue degree will be very strong still for ece

[bitter sparrow]

Not rlly im getting a 20k/yr grant and rest in 0% interest loans from gov

[strong fox]

It’s top 10 instead of top 5, it’s basically the same

Purdue though puts you in first you wngineering

And then you chose which engineering major

I didnt like that

Some people do

[bitter sparrow]

Yeah i dont want to do civil for a year

[strong fox]

What ?

Civil?

[bitter sparrow]

Civil engineering classes

[strong fox]

It’s

Not like that

[bitter sparrow]

I thought they make u take some of everything in fye

[zinc sequoia]

It’s more general engineering

I think

[strong fox]

Yeah

[bitter sparrow]

Ohh ok

[strong fox]

It’s like general engineering

It’s not like you do a bit of each

Well kinda

You won’t be like looking at roads or shit

[bitter sparrow]

How do u like uiuc so far btw?

[strong fox]

I like it a lot

I wasn’t that happy to go there at first

But I’m glad I chose here

[bitter sparrow]

Glad to hear

Have a nice day. And thanks for all your help 🙏

[strong fox]

Yep, you too

[surreal dome]

fye is just engineering principles + phy/cs/math, not hardcore engineering classes

[fierce lintel]

where do you guys see gies 4 years down the line

[tired robin]

still gies

[fierce lintel]

better?

its either gies or kelley for me

[valid tendon]

what schools would y’all trade for uiuc

[cursive knoll]

Except for MIT UC Berkeley Stanford and CMU

Anything else

[bitter sparrow]

Nothing besides university of luton

[valid tendon]

LOOL

[bitter sparrow]

Also son is goated

[valid tendon]

Very true

[tender matrix]

🦆

[tired robin]

[strong fox]

I would probably only trade uiuc for Berkeley or Stanford

MIT I wouldn’t like

[tender matrix]

Yo if u guys come to uiuc u get this ^

[floral walrus]

Got email for financial aid but the website won’t load 😭

[short wagon]

u got in with that

that was my reason of rejection the hell??

are you in state

[hasty plinth]

Yeah i am

[glad latch]

and cold winters

super cold right

i think i might have to commit here first

only 2 left that might cause me not to commit here

[valid tendon]

0 finaid from uiuc

61k/year 💀

[floral walrus]

Yup

Same

[fiery jetty]

same but i'm in state :(( i'm sorry

[random iron]

yeah uiuc's .... stingy with aid, to say the least

[dim flint]

would yall rather go to uiuc or ucla for cs?

assuming same tuition

[tender matrix]

Hmmm

I might've gone to UCLA just cause Cali lol

https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1086498389908275230

Also plz star this ^

I went out in the cold weather just for this

[tired robin]

day was really nice despite freezing

I'm thinking of doing a no laptop sabbatical to take a break and might walk there

[tender matrix]

Yea that's kinda what I did

Reviewing for CS 173 was getting boring

Took a drive to Japan house

[tender matrix]

Also wanna give me fake internet points? 👀

[tired robin]

if uiuc had temperate weather and was 30 mins within a city itd be perfect

[tender matrix]

True

[tired robin]

(ok maybe if it was cheaper and they didnt underfund grad students and non engineering programs)

[tender matrix]

LOL

It's decently cheap already

For people who get no instate tuition anywhere

[compact marten]

uiuc cs or cs+x?

[dim flint]

cs

[compact marten]

then obviously uiuc cs >>> ucla cs

[dim flint]

oh

[echo minnow]

ucla cs isnt that far behind and is much better in every other aspect

lol

i would go ucla personally

[patent sundial]

yea

[glad latch]

but u r in state

did u get in to ucla?

if so ucla

[hasty plinth]

My friend got into JHU and UCLA out of state and didnt get uiuc cs + x instate

Crazy

[tender matrix]

Yea ngl uiuc does check for fit a lot

[short viper]

is there a server for admitted students?

[tender matrix]

Check pins

[short viper]

Thanks

[tired robin]

how green/flowery/dead was it

[tender matrix]

No flowers yet

[tired robin]

is it all grey or

[tender matrix]

The grass is green

Flowers are starting to bloom

But I would not go there today

It's so cold and windy

[glad latch]

im visiting 4/1

[empty scroll]

same

[glad latch]

wait i might of asked

did u get into ucla and ucsd?

i forgot

[empty scroll]

yes you have

ucsd accept

ucla wl

[glad latch]

forgive me for my short term memory loss

[empty scroll]

no worries I also have memory loss

[slim gorge]

Bruh idk how I got into cs here but got rejected at everything else so far

its so random

[empty scroll]

thats why shotgunning is a thing lol

[slim gorge]

yeah

[tender matrix]

Sounds about right, I was rejected from all my RDs lol and the only t30 CS school I got into was uiuc 💀

[slim gorge]

💀

[empty scroll]

💀

[echo minnow]

same here

i got wl from ucsd and uci

[glad latch]

lol same

reject ucla

how did my own in state school not accept me but i got into an oos...

fuck ucs

[echo minnow]

cuz no SAT

loo

lol

@empty scroll you going to uiuc over ucsd?

[glad latch]

yes he should

he got a scholarship

at uiuc

and ucs oos cost more

[dim flint]

im in state but choosing uiuc over ucsd

cuz uiuc more prestigious for cs

[glad latch]

u said u got into ucla

[dim flint]

no i didnt, i was asking before cuz i was trying to cope with my waitlist LOL

[glad latch]

oh lol

u r cs right

[dim flint]

yea

[glad latch]

i think i might pick ucsd over uiuc for ee

altho i got wl at ucsd

so rn will first commit to uiuc

[dim flint]

yea ik someone who did that

makes sense

[echo minnow]

oh i assumed he instate

[echo minnow]

iirc if you get admitted from waitlist youre admitted as undeclare

but not 100% sure

[glad latch]

nah

not for everyone

if i get undelcared

def not going then

[empty scroll]

yep there is no benefit for me to got ucsd over uiuc

[empty scroll]

nah I live in the east coast so uc schools are very far and expensive

only possible contenders I have left are berkeley, cornell, and upenn (due to a very specific program I applied for there)

[tender matrix]

their tech business thing?

[empty scroll]

is that the nets program if so then yes

[tender matrix]

Yea I think so

[valid tendon]

you paying full at uiuc? whats your state school?

[empty scroll]

no I get 4k scholarship from uiuc so 58k. state school is uva and im paying full 48k so theres not much difference

[valid tendon]

bruh💀💀💀why is UVA instate so expensive

that sucks

[empty scroll]

its literally like 90 k if your oos

like umich

uiuc cost is cheap compared to that

[valid tendon]

insane

[empty scroll]

I dont support daylight robbery 😔

[strong fox]

A good way to make money is scamming the Chinese international students

People pretend they’re the CCP or something and scare a student into giving them funds

It’s really sad tbh it’s happened a few times

[jovial island]

💀 what the fuck

[steady bone]

can i get a tutorial

[cursive knoll]

Can we have UIUC title back??

[jovial island]

Yes pls

[tropic agate]

Y'all want the normal UIUC title back?

[cursive knoll]

Yesss

[tender matrix]

💀

[versed hare]

so you use the indian international student to scam the chinese international student

interesting

[strong fox]

I could hit one of my intls up

They’re funny af they would help me

[versed hare]

bro im admitted to UIUC pol sci this year and i am the indian intl 💀

so hit me up

[wanton pasture]

Yo guys did uiuc honors college and all merit scholarships come out already?

[strong fox]

Bet lmao

[strong fox]

One thing I do not like

Is driving to campus

[empty scroll]

theres possibly more scholarships after may first

but the first round came out already

[wanton pasture]

ah ok

so honors also came?

[versed hare]

yeah, I got Edmund James Honors Invite about a month ago

[patent sundial]

whats the approx acc rate for comp engr

for oos

[empty scroll]

iirc CE is 20% overall

so oos is probably 10-20%

[patent sundial]

did u get in ce

[empty scroll]

yep

[sage hornet]

what do you think the acc rate for cs + math is oos

[valid tendon]

i feel like its gotta be lower than that. like 8% or something

uw cs instate is like 25% and oos is like 3% thats why im saying

[empty scroll]

yeah that would make sense

[strong fox]

CE overall is probably lower

[merry eagle]

whats ee acceptance rate

[solar portal]

UIUC!!!

[gaunt lagoon]

HE CHANGED IT

[static pulsar]

🤡

[empty scroll]

Thats was 2021. 2022 they actually accepted people

[static pulsar]

Pls

[lilac glen]

😿

[sudden geode]

Has anyone who appealed gotten a decision yet? (+ when did you send the appeal?)

Not expecting anything but i just wonder how long itd take since ngl its been a month

But they couldve started review on the 15th and i read it wrong? So ???? I want to stop coping lol

[tender matrix]

I heard someone already got denied

[tender matrix]

15% probably

Something like that

Same as CS + stats

[tender matrix]

Well also UW takes more instaters

A lot more instaters

[glad latch]

@tender matrix does uiuc use semester based system or quarter based system

[tired robin]

semesterr

[glad latch]

Do you like semester or quarters more

[tired robin]

semester >>>>>

[glad latch]

I feel semesters might be more stressful since more content

[tired robin]

fk quarters

[glad latch]

But less finals

[tired robin]

how so?

can argue more classes in quarters, though they are shorter

[glad latch]

Ur finals covers more stuff

[tired robin]

oh

[glad latch]

So u have to study more

[tired robin]

wtv

its same duration of school

[glad latch]

Summer quarter means nothing

So it’s technically trimesters

[tired robin]

yeah

i like to think of them as tri

[glad latch]

Like middle school

[tired robin]

but o well

iirc, my UC friends have finals around fall break, spring break, then before summer

thats hell

i like my pre-winter and summer break

[bitter sparrow]

Does anyone know by when they will fully accept people. I've submitted my final transcript and sat score but they havent checked it yet

[valid tendon]

got my acceptance package back

it’s so cool

[valid tendon]

they gave me lab goggles and a pen saying materials science

[iron ermine]

Was that for commiting?

[valid tendon]

nah just got in lol

[gaunt lagoon]

you waitlist too???

[static pulsar]

yeah

imma send my loci like mid-april tho

if they even take one

💀

[gaunt lagoon]

i dont think so, they just pick randoms to let in the last time I checked

[static pulsar]

nah 💀

wtf

😭

[gaunt lagoon]

lmao that was my reaction too

https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/faq/wait-list heres the link if you were wondering where I got it from

and by randoms I meant they just look at the remaining needs for the class THEN they pick the random students lol

[strong fox]

Does anyone know stuff about circuit analysis

[echo minnow]

bro quater is more stressful

its the same amount of content in less time

lol

[glad latch]

how

so

[echo minnow]

wym how

thats literally how it works

[glad latch]

schools should cover the same material...

regardless of what system they use

[echo minnow]

yeah they do cover the same material

but a quarter is shorter

[glad latch]

yea but

[echo minnow]

so its less time to absorb all the information

[glad latch]

there are more quarters

but less content in each quarter

so u can focus on smaller chunks

at a time

[echo minnow]

why do u say less content in each quarter

?

like

say if i take calc 3 at ucsd

[glad latch]

because there is not as much time to learn the stuff

[echo minnow]

huh

[glad latch]

so they cant cover a semesters worth of stuff ina quarter

quarters are shorter

[echo minnow]

but they still gonna test on it

?

they still expect u to know it

[empty scroll]

even if calc 3 is turned into 2 quarters you still need to know most of the stuff for quarter 1

so quarters are worse

UIUC is a W school after all

[glad latch]

it's 3 quarters tho

quarters are shorter so you can't cover as much in them?

if that makes sense

[tender matrix]

from my friends, they all say quarter systems are super stressful

[glad latch]

😦

well not much of a diff anyways

[tender matrix]

I like semester system better

[glad latch]

i think i would choose ucsd over uiuc

too bad ucsd uses quarters

[tender matrix]

oh did you get in?

[glad latch]

no wl

but i have hope still

[tender matrix]

ah same

I got WL last year too

[glad latch]

is there any benefits to quarter system

[glad latch]

did u get off

[tender matrix]

no

they took like no one off in cs last year

[glad latch]

oh rip

[tender matrix]

hmm you learn more I guess

in a year

like a larger range

but not necessarily depth

I applied UCSD CS and CE
