[arctic mortar]

Thats the only hs i know in edison LOL

[untold dragon]

oh nah he a streamsniper

[arctic mortar]

LMFAO

[untold dragon]

💀

[arctic mortar]

I was just guessing

My school just played your bball team

Like 2 days ago

[untold dragon]

ik

[arctic mortar]

😂

[gleaming lake]

Lmfao I would have guessed this too

Also from central jersey

[untold dragon]

😭

[arctic mortar]

Its the only edison school i know lol

[untold dragon]

not ehs

[arctic mortar]

Cus my school always plays you guys

For some reason

[arctic mortar]

Tuff

[untold dragon]

fingers crossed for tom

[arctic mortar]

Facts 🤞

We got dis bro

[keen ether]

could also do a mix

CS with an EE minor

EE with a cs minor

lmao

CE too

[mint iris]

correct

it gives you way more flexibility than either CS or EE since you can go into software development or IOT/hardware and specialize in either so you’ll almost always be able to get a job

[distant spindle]

If you're doing w GPA what would be the equivalent

[meager fox]

bruh

tahts awfully low ngl

ApplyingToCollege

[stable anchor]

it honestly depends on the person tbh

not everyone wants the flexibility or has an interest in both

[arctic mortar]

My GPA is also weighted but UIUC will re-calculate your GPA from what I know

I guess you can try to put all your grades into a GPA calculator and see what the UW is

Ngl thats a lot of work though so Im not gonna do that

[keen ether]

but then again, if you wanna do AI/ML cs would be a better major

or if you wanna do algos and stuff

cause CS has more theory classes and stuff

depends on your goals

also the flexibility comes at a price in terms of specialization

[keen ether]

uiuc just used my unweighted

[arctic mortar]

Yep they use unweighted

And then course rigor is gonna be considered as well but separate from your GPA I'm guessing

[distant spindle]

I have both an unweighted and a weighted

I entered the weighted in the srar so are they gonna use that to recalculate or do they just use the uw provided on the transcript

[late oxide]

just like me fr

3.4 1560

but I applied grainger

[arctic mortar]

I also entered weighted, its not like it matters though cus they will recalculate regardless of that and your transcript

Most colleges will recalculate your gpa I think

[arctic mortar]

Sat goes hard though 😭

Me with 3.6 1420 ☠️

[late oxide]

mine is unweighted

[meager fox]

graingerw that 💀

gl

[arctic mortar]

My weighted is a bit higher

So I put that on SRAR 😂

[arctic mortar]

You never know fr he might clutch it

[distant spindle]

I'm in state with 4.5 w and I did test optional 😭

[meager fox]

idk bro grainger is abs devious

personaly im not sure if its enough but gl to them

[formal cedar]

how hard is it to transfer between schools?

[arctic mortar]

Facts

[fathom raft]

info + data science

[arctic mortar]

I wanted to do that originally but changed to Stat

[fathom raft]

ah yeah i lwk wish i put stats as my first choice cuz i heard the is + ds program isnt that great here

but luckily uiuc considers 2nd choice major

[arctic mortar]

Thats exactly why I didnt apply to that major

And also because I realized info sci was not at all something I am interested in

Ideally I want to do Ds/ data engineering so info sci wouldnt have been as useful

[fathom raft]

yeah LOL im just interested in the data science part so i weaved in smth random abt info science

i actually wanna do the business + data science major but you couldnt apply to that on the uiuc app

[formal cedar]

can’t u change it?

[fathom raft]

yeah but even if i get in for is + ds i can just switch into the stats major

also cuz is + ds has a lower acceptance rate so putting that as my second choice and stats as my first woulda been a bit odd

[formal cedar]

unrelated but do yk how hard it is to switch between schools

is it on the website…?

[fathom raft]

not sure tbh, i'm just assuming its relatively difficult to switch into grainger/cs + x majors compared to those in college of las

[arctic mortar]

😭 I get it

[arctic mortar]

Wait really

[arctic mortar]

Pretty sure you cant put ds + x as a second choice, which is why I didnt bother applying to it

[fathom raft]

oh yeah true

[arctic mortar]

You out of state btw?

[fathom raft]

yup wbu?

[arctic mortar]

Yeah same

NJ

[fathom raft]

ah im from cali

[arctic mortar]

Damn thats nice

That probably helps a bit cus they accept a lot of people from there

[fathom raft]

oh rlly haha thats good

i come from a rlly competitive area tho 😭

[late oxide]

we literally talked yesterday i had medical reasons

[arctic mortar]

Yeah I get it

[quartz plover]

So did I

[arctic mortar]

Dw youll be chilling

[quartz plover]

its not that big of a deal

LMAO

the two people here are from NJ and cali thats funny

[late oxide]

me when i get diagnosed w adhd and autism in the middle of the pandemic and cant get help till after freshman year

[arctic mortar]

LOL

[late oxide]

without freshman year its like

3.65

uw

which is still not amazing

but better than 3.38 obv

[arctic mortar]

I mean UIUC doesnt care as much about freshman year grades

[late oxide]

yeah

no someone was making fun of me above for applyign to grainger w my gpa like

it doesnt hurt

[arctic mortar]

Its in the range for LAS at least

[late oxide]

i did grainger 😢

[arctic mortar]

Oh yeah but dw

[late oxide]

if im going to do bio or biochem i might as well go to a csu at that point

bc why pay to go to uiuc for that

yk what i mean

[arctic mortar]

Yeah

[late oxide]

and

1560

uiuc cares abt sat right

[quartz plover]

test scores yes

[late oxide]

yeah i have all 5s on my aps and 1560

so its like

proof that i am capable hopefully

[quartz plover]

because uiuc has a top ranked program for bio/biochem

[late oxide]

and that freshman year was out of my control

[late oxide]

yes ik it does

its just way more expensive

and i dont really want to do plain bio or biochem

and im oos

also not to meniton most of my b's in my gpa are english

and band

[quartz plover]

band is wild

[late oxide]

it was freshman year

and we have a wackass program

[late oxide]

that had to record our minutes for us to get practice credit

but it never worked

so i would lose points on practice bc it didnt reocrd

i only got one b in band

and ive done it all 4 years

so its really just englihs

[late oxide]

yeah its just i dont see myself doing plain bio or biochem

[quartz plover]

fair

[late oxide]

i dont wanna disappoint my mom

she's got a shirt saved for me and everything

[arctic mortar]

Yes

[late oxide]

does anyone have cs + bioe acceptance rate

i cant find it anywhere cause its new

[arctic mortar]

I dont think its up

Prob around 20%

[arctic mortar]

I feel you bro

Im in the same situation

[keen ether]

Yea it's pretty bad

I'm an undergrad TA for a is+DS class and it's pretty bad

[quartz plover]

Really isn't it top ranked

my friend is in it and likes it

[meager fox]

is that in grainger?

[quartz plover]

yes

[meager fox]

assume like around 5-10%

[quartz plover]

lol not that low

[meager fox]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSnYyb7FtIlpuyfOv9tuGH55D19Qto0QLuZjwX8a2Hm0xRYxI3A-sUNfQsTM493qg/pubhtml

idk al i know is this sheet

[late oxide]

yeah its not on there

[gusty pulsar]

prob 13%

[quartz plover]

If an international male can do CS+ math with a 14% acceptance rate i dont think itll be that low

[late oxide]

eh im ok w plain bioe too

[gusty pulsar]

oos is harder than international

[meager fox]

this was last yr

grainger cs 2.84 oos

male

[quartz plover]

thats plain CS

[meager fox]

yeah except

cs + boieng is also in grainger

almost all the other cs + things

are in las

tahts why i said u can expect a 5-10%

cuz itll be higher

[quartz plover]

we don't have enough data to really say that yet

5-10 would be very low for a cs+

[gusty pulsar]

its like 13-18% tbh

[late oxide]

plain computer science non resident female was 10.54

in 2021 it was 30%

that doesnt seem right

[late oxide]

im female

[keen ether]

They can't code at all

Idk how it's too ranked when it's been around for only 1 year

Doesn't make sense

Like their job marketability seems way worse compared to cs

[keen ether]

there is none

cs + bioeng is new

[dusky coyote]

is there a way to find cs + education acceptance rate

[quartz plover]

their masters is top ranked thats why

[quartz plover]

5% to 100%

[dusky coyote]

?

where can i find this

[keen ether]

probably yea

the undergrad program sucks though

[keen ether]

hes trolling you buddy

[dusky coyote]

well yeah

[quartz plover]

Not really

[jolly fog]

💀

[dusky coyote]

is it cus it's new

[jolly fog]

bros cooking the student

[quartz plover]

Its not public cause so little applied

oh wait is it new

[keen ether]

yea

[dusky coyote]

yea i think it's been around for like 1-2 yrs

[keen ether]

its one years old

last year for the first year they admitted any

[quartz plover]

oh then inconclusive

[keen ether]

yes

[dusky coyote]

any?

like 100%?

[keen ether]

no

im guessing 60% 70%

but im also guessing 10 people applied max

lmao

[dusky coyote]

oh ok

lol

ima transfer if i get in

or try to

[jolly fog]

which major again?

ds or something else

oh cs + education

[dusky coyote]

cs +education

[jolly fog]

nvm

[keen ether]

yea

[jolly fog]

i see

interesting major combination

[keen ether]

its cool

I like the concept

[dusky coyote]

i just did it cus it related to my ecs

and it's easier than cs + stats lmao

[keen ether]

yep..

[jolly fog]

cs and stats seems like a great combo tho ngl especially for what im trying to do

[meager fox]

bros trynan do quant

[jolly fog]

data sci

[meager fox]

just apply for data sci

[keen ether]

no

cs+stats for data science

[jolly fog]

yeah

[keen ether]

or pure stats even

[jolly fog]

i applied ds + stats at like one school cus they dont have stats and ill prob go there

[keen ether]

the x+ds programs are so watered down man

[jolly fog]

ur talking abt uiuc or in general

[keen ether]

uiuc

[jolly fog]

yeah ok thats what i was thinking

[keen ether]

but I heard this is the case in many places

that ds is like bad

lol

[jolly fog]

true but theres no pure stats at the school i want to go to

[keen ether]

yea then take it

[jolly fog]

its just called stats w data sci

[keen ether]

what school

btw

[jolly fog]

UT

[keen ether]

ah

[dusky coyote]

quant takes a lot from ut austin cs

[jolly fog]

yeah besides tuition is good so im thinking i go for it

[keen ether]

yea

uiuc has a lot of quant

I think most quants from UT are from turing though

[dusky coyote]

that's why i wanna go lmao

[keen ether]

not really the main stream I think?

[jolly fog]

only other thing im debating is prob purdue cs and HOPEFULLY gatech cs but thats gonna be close

[keen ether]

mmm

what did you apply for

uiuc

[jolly fog]

cs + linguistics

fits w my ecs

best

but uiuc may be expensive and obv acceptance rate is another thing

[keen ether]

ah cool

im linguistics minor

[jolly fog]

ooh thats cool

how is it btw

[keen ether]

ngl kinda boring 💀

but I made it this far

not giving up 😤

also ling aint easy

[jolly fog]

oh yeah i know

ling seems pretty difficult

but thats what makes it intersting at times

[keen ether]

yep

syntax is a pain

semantics was more fun

and easier

[jolly fog]

ahh i cano only imagine

[keen ether]

yea Im done with all the core ling classes im gonna do

all thats left is ling electives

this is when thigns actually get fun

[jolly fog]

ahh i see

[keen ether]

and why I did the minor

lol

[dusky coyote]

will having cs + education hurt me for jobs

or nah

[keen ether]

nah

double major

[dusky coyote]

im assuming no, j a lot of education classes

[keen ether]

yea

[jolly fog]

yeahh seems cool thats why im trying to get int oit

[keen ether]

yea

[quartz plover]

ew purdue

[keen ether]

im probably gonna take computational linguistics next semester

and then I'll take like

speech and signal processing down the line

or corpus linguistics

[jolly fog]

💀

[jolly fog]

ooh that does seem cool

[keen ether]

ye

fun stuff

damn tmrw this channel is gonna be so spammed

[quartz plover]

i cannot wait

[dusky coyote]

theyre gonna change the logo and everything lmao

[jolly fog]

i can only imagine ngl

[keen ether]

fr

[jolly fog]

so many schools tmrw

i wonder which one

i predict umich ngl

[quartz plover]

to see the demoralization to see the acceptances

[keen ether]

[dusky coyote]

oh true

[keen ether]

future illini are already in this chat

[jolly fog]

thats going to be me

[dusky coyote]

illini?

thats what they call ppl at uiuc?

[quartz plover]

yes

[distant spindle]

I'm starting to feel really nervous now

[keen ether]

yes we are the fighting illini

[quartz plover]

raaaaaaah

[late oxide]

what all schools are tmrw

i only know chapel hill and uiuc

[jolly fog]

gatech uiuc umich umd (maybe)

and then u added chapell hill too

UT also could have a release who knows

[keen ether]

goddamn

all of em

[dusky coyote]

uwisconsin

[jolly fog]

that too

yeah tmrw is going to be crazy

[quartz plover]

I just realized my disc says I have been using VSCode for a day

[jolly fog]

oh brothe

[toxic maple]

dayum

tomorrows gonna be rough

[spare wind]

Did unc announce?

[keen ether]

its probably tmrw

[spare wind]

Or like how do we know

[keen ether]

most colleges want EA out before feb

[spare wind]

Cuz website says jan 31 for a lot of these

[keen ether]

it should be tommorow

[spare wind]

Gotchu gotchu

Dang tomorrows gonna be fun

[keen ether]

fun

[tepid umbra]

If I get accepted to the rest of my ea places, that would be hype

[radiant charm]

pretty sure its not?

regular stats major is in LAS so i don't see why cs+stats would be grainger, the other cs+LAS majors are in LAS

@keen ether can u confirm this? or am i mistaken

[keen ether]

yes it is not in grainger

cs+stats is in las

false

[wise citrus]

false

[radiant charm]

great thanks

[wise citrus]

gotta know that

[slender tendon]

how many people will cs+physics take next year

because this year Ik it's like 20 or so 💀

[idle schooner]

i kinda wish id ea'd for uiuc

[slender tendon]

did u not finish ur apps in time

[idle schooner]

but then again my essays would have been shit

[keen ether]

20

oh next year

[wise citrus]

i applied cs with a 3.8 and test optional

what r my chances

[keen ether]

idk if its super popular maybe 40

[dawn spear]

i think they say they only accept 25 ppl

[slender tendon]

hm ok

[slender tendon]

yea but they said they want to grow it

[idle schooner]

i was ready with ths essays but i wasnt happy with them at all

so i decided to rd

[slender tendon]

ah

[dawn spear]

maybe this yr 25 but next few years might be more

[slender tendon]

the thing I've learned from watching all these college apps with seniors

is to start my essays in the summer

[keen ether]

yes

[idle schooner]

yeah

[keen ether]

good idea

I think there is more X+DS CS+X in the makiing

think math+ds is coming soon

[distant spindle]

Before that if you can

[idle schooner]

to be fair i hadnt even decided that i wanted to go to the us till like july💀

[distant spindle]

I started mine like 3rd quarter of last year

[slender tendon]

oh wow

[dawn spear]

rnt there rumors about cs getting its own school

[slender tendon]

I'm working on summer camp essays rn 😭

[distant spindle]

Ah fair enough

[keen ether]

yea

[distant spindle]

Sometimes you don't have the time to do it that early 😭

[slender tendon]

yeah usaco and fma is soon

it's actually over for me

[distant spindle]

Good luck 🫡

[slender tendon]

tyty

[toxic maple]

you can literally finish at least a couple apps before the school year even starts

most colleges keep same/similar essays year-to-year

i wish i did that

my friend did that and was done with all his colleges before october

[slender tendon]

woww

yeah I also want to apply early for p much everything

[toxic maple]

v good idea

[keen ether]

dam usaco

what level u at

[slender tendon]

silver 🤡

I could have made gold last contest I think if I didn't misread p2 😭

I think I'm already at the level of like a lot of faang interviews tho

Is uiuc regular impossible for out of state cs I’m rlly regretting not doing EA

[light fjord]

it’s low but not impossible

just cs?

[radiant bison]

Yh

[light fjord]

oh yeah it’s low

im also oos cs 💀

[tardy sundial]

cs itself is absurdly low for oos, rd is next to impossible imo

[light fjord]

there’s a spreadsheet for the acceptance rates

[tardy sundial]

ye, cs oos was abt 3% in total

and most of uiuc class comes ea

[light fjord]

there’s a chance if bro is like goated

[light fjord]

yeah true

[tardy sundial]

even if he is goated, it’s legit impossible

you can change your preferred major I think?

you should

[light fjord]

i thought u can’t change ur major anymore or maybe that was ea nvm

Don’t bring it to this server thanks

[stable anchor]

it's probably going to be easier

idk by how much though

[elder crystal]

oos pure CS for male was like in the neighborhood of 3-5% last time i checked the FOIA request

they break down the stats by gender and OOS so thats how i know

[elder crystal]

cs+x is a lot higher acceptance rate than pure CS, check the foia request data

[elder crystal]

yeah 2.84% for OOS pure CS male 💀💀💀

what does the bot mean by in your local time

did people in china already get their decision

[willow lichen]

no its just a conversion for what time you'll get it at

everyone gets it at the same time

albeit not the same time of day if that makes sense

[mint iris]

off the top of my head I remember it being 20-30% for oos

[open bough]

Does intl mean the same as oos

I'm international

[mint iris]

yes

[open bough]

Oh okay

[tame cosmos]

isn't it different

[mint iris]

although international will have different admission rates

[cyan cobalt]

slightly differenr

[tame cosmos]

oos is domestic oos and intl has its own separate ARs

[cyan cobalt]

last year intl had a higher AR

[open bough]

I'm guessing it will be lesser for international students

[cyan cobalt]

than oos

[open bough]

Oh

[willow lichen]

all intl are oos but not all oos are intl

[cyan cobalt]

intl had a 5% acc rate for cs oos had around 2%

[mint iris]

Here are admissions rates for all

https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/s/v4BphV4XgE

it’s actually not bad at all

[open bough]

28% okayyyy

I thought it was much lesser

[leaden meadow]

intls tend to be more competitive and less intls apply so higher ar =/= easier to get into

plus if uiuc is need aware due intls they'll only take full pay students

Ah oo

Hopefully this number is higher this year. It went up last year I believe as the overall CS acceptance rate went up, as more people are applying CS + x.

[keen ether]

True

WTF

@keen ether

did an indian student akul dhawan die

at UIUC

??

!

[keen ether]

Yea

Well idk his name lemme search

Yea akul dhawan

I think the theory is that he got hypothermia

Froze

People are saying he was too drunk, probably fell unconscious in the really cold weather we had last week (-20 Celsius)

And people couldn't find him

[cyan cobalt]

rip

[jade lake]

is it actually that cold

[keen ether]

Yea we had a polar vertex last week

[keen ether]

Yes

[jade lake]

that's cold

really cold

[keen ether]

Its only usually one week per year

[jade lake]

lol

[keen ether]

Yep

We get a polar vortex every year

Usually happens over winter break

We got unlucky and it happened first week of classes

Most students couldn't get back

[spring berry]

how is the weather normally?

[keen ether]

Cause Ohare just completely froze up

[jade lake]

how many inches of snow?

[keen ether]

Cold but not that cold

[keen ether]

Uhhh not that much

[cyan cobalt]

define that

[keen ether]

It's more like just pure cold that week

[jade lake]

really?

sheesh

[keen ether]

It's about 3 degrees Celsius rn

39 fahrenheit

That's pretty standard for winters here

[cyan cobalt]

okay thats not bad

is it windy?

[keen ether]

With wind-chill it's worse

Yes it's windy

Although less wind than last year as of now

Last year was far more windy

im applying CS + Econ

[keen ether]

I just recommend everyone to apply to CS+ X

[nova wyvern]

1500 and 95% UW

[keen ether]

Yea then ur much better off

[nova wyvern]

im cooked

[viscid prawn]

1550 is excellent for uiuc

[terse geode]

whats the diff between CS and smth like CS+Econ

[nova wyvern]

acceptance rate

10 times more for CS+X

[keen ether]

Like acceptance rate or program?

[nova wyvern]

CS is brutall for OOS and intl

[terse geode]

program

[nova wyvern]

• ur degree is from the college of arts and sciences no?

[keen ether]

CS + econ probably has an acceptance rate of <20%

[nova wyvern]

not from grainger

[keen ether]

Yea but that doesn't matter

[nova wyvern]

23 odd

[terse geode]

cuz i wanted to do cs+econ but i wasnt sure if it was gonna be as good as a cs degree ykwim

[nova wyvern]

but at the end of the day

its the same

[keen ether]

That's a number from 2 years ago

[late shale]

wb pure econ?

[keen ether]

It's lower now

[nova wyvern]

oh

true

[terse geode]

i shouldve done cs+econs rip

[nova wyvern]

could be

[keen ether]

50% probably

[nova wyvern]

I changed to cs +econ

they had a grace period

at the end

do you think I stand a chance bro

1500 and 95% UW

will they read my app

[terse geode]

obv

[neat galleon]

man wtf 💀

[keen ether]

The whole idea of CS + x is you take the whole CS core and pretty much the whole X core (this doesn't apply for bioE and physics)

And then you do whatever you want

You get a CS degree

[nova wyvern]

i doubt they even gon read my app

[neat galleon]

dont do this to us with only a few hours left

[keen ether]

You can take whatever CS classes you want

[nova wyvern]

they just gon push it to the side

[keen ether]

Except the CS ethics class probably

[nova wyvern]

yea CS+X is better

higher acceptance rate

[keen ether]

I think the CS ethics class is only for pure CS majors

[nova wyvern]

and im interested in econ

[terse geode]

im not worried abt the grades bruh its the ECs

i have mid asf ecs

[keen ether]

But everyone hates the CS ethics

[neat galleon]

I am very worried about my grades aaa

[nova wyvern]

i heard that if you're applying any CS+X degree

that you're profile also has to align

with the degree

[keen ether]

Yes

You have to have ECs on your X

[nova wyvern]

so like you can't pick CS + eng with a pure CS based profile

[keen ether]

I was the last admit for my program

[nova wyvern]

dang

[keen ether]

And I think a part of the reason is the I didn't have much ECs on my X side

[nova wyvern]

I have 2 AP's and a few ECs related to econ

[terse geode]

if my hs offers cs but i decide not to take it but apply cs major will they be sus

[nova wyvern]

its really mid

im cooked

[nova wyvern]

do ap exams help

or only ECs

[keen ether]

Nah

Not really

[nova wyvern]

damn 😭

im cooked

[keen ether]

I mean they see if you taken the AP class

[nova wyvern]

i only have like

1 or 2 ecs with econ

[terse geode]

does uiuc care more about stats or ecs

[nova wyvern]

no clue

but we're cooked 😭

CS is brutal for intl and OOS

atleast CS + X is alright

[terse geode]

oos is harder than intl its crazy

[nova wyvern]

2.84% for OOS

like bro

😭

[terse geode]

r u oos?

[nova wyvern]

im oos

[terse geode]

which state?

[nova wyvern]

im doing CS+X

i dont live in usa

i used to

in chicago

[terse geode]

oh

ur a citizen living outside us?

[neat galleon]

so are you counted as intl?

[nova wyvern]

no

im oos

[nova wyvern]

yee

[neat galleon]

ah

[terse geode]

ohk

[keen ether]

Both

[keen ether]

I think that number is higher now

[neat galleon]

I mean, wouldnt chicago be in state tho? @nova wyvern

[nova wyvern]

what stats did you have when you got in

[keen ether]

Actually... You are considered intl my dude

[nova wyvern]

i dont reside there tho

[neat galleon]

ah

[keen ether]

If you applied outside the states you are compared to intls

[nova wyvern]

no

im OOS

100% sure

since im a citizen

[wet plover]

Which one?

[nova wyvern]

econ

[wet plover]

Sameeeeeeee

But I’m instate

[keen ether]

I'm the same exact situation as you

American citizen abroad

Saw my admissions file

Treated as an intl for admissions

[nova wyvern]

im a domestic applicant applying overseas

[terse geode]

regret of picking pure cs is hitting me hard a few hrs bef decisions

[keen ether]

Domestic for tuition and fin aid

[nova wyvern]

is this only for UIUC?

[keen ether]

Yes same

No

[neat galleon]

uh oh

[keen ether]

Ivies do it too

I know that

[nova wyvern]

other colleges have told me I'm OOS

[keen ether]

You are oos for purposes of enrollment

[nova wyvern]

so am I even more cooked

[keen ether]

But in terms of what pool you are in

You are in the international pool

When it comes to comparisons

[neat galleon]

actually probably not

[nova wyvern]

dang

i didnt know that

[terse geode]

but they consider the context right. like i did not have any time to do ecs in the first two yrs of hs

[keen ether]

I don't know if we have a quota on us though

I just know they compared me to china

[neat galleon]

intls have a better AR i think?

[keen ether]

The thing is we are compared to intls

[nova wyvern]

so are my chances lower

[neat galleon]

ah ye

[keen ether]

But idk if that means our acc rate is the same as intls

I have no idea

I just know when they did my stat comparison it was with china

Not america

They also directly compared me to my school

Which is in china

[neat galleon]

cooked

[nova wyvern]

are the acceptance rates only applied for the specific pool?

[keen ether]

I mean they probably do

[keen ether]

That I am not 100% sure about

[neat galleon]

a girl with better grades in my school applied to CS as well

[keen ether]

I just know when it comes to comparisons you are basically considered intl

[lethal mesa]

do they compare it with others applying different major too?

[nova wyvern]

what if UIUC only has like 30 applicants for CS+econ intl

male

[keen ether]

Also my application had: international (treat as domestic) on it

But I have no idea what that means for admissions but I know my stats were compared as if I was an international student

I think the treat as domestic is for fin aid

[nova wyvern]

did it say that

anywhere

[keen ether]

Yes

[nova wyvern]

where

[keen ether]

Yea

They have a bunch of comparisons

They compared me with historical data, country data, and school data

[terse geode]

is it true most people in illinois live in chicago

[nova wyvern]

dang so im even more cooked

its over for me

[terse geode]

like i heard 80% or sm

[nova wyvern]

possibly

[lethal mesa]

historical data from the same school?

[spark heart]

What do you guys think the acceptance rate is for Info + Data Sci OOS?

[keen ether]

From LAS

[keen ether]

I'm guestimating 20%

[nova wyvern]

?

also what do you think the CS+Econ acc rate is

approx

[spark heart]

Cool 😬

[keen ether]

15%?

[lethal mesa]

do you think UIUC has like quotas that limits like only one student per school for all majors?

[keen ether]

I like CS + econ is < 20% now

[lethal mesa]

or they don't care if they are all strong

[keen ether]

No I don't think so

Although they do compare you to ur school

[terse geode]

one is too less imo

[keen ether]

So there is that

[nova wyvern]

what about

for internationals

[lethal mesa]

because I'm intl thats why I'm afraid about it

[keen ether]

Yea they compare you to ur school

Like whatever school you are attending right now

[neat galleon]

man this thread too stressful, I am going to another one

[lethal mesa]

and my school is like the top school in the country

[jade lake]

what is the predicted AR for cs + physics?

[spring berry]

bro u could get into nus, ntu (my actual dream is to get into ntu)

[nova wyvern]

how would they

[spring berry]

why do u wanna go to uiuc

[nova wyvern]

for internationals

[terse geode]

im not a citizen

[nova wyvern]

there are like millions of diff schools

[terse geode]

so its impossible

[keen ether]

Historical data and peers that apply

[lethal mesa]

does UIUC know like the rigor of a school compared to other for intls

[keen ether]

CS is strong here

[keen ether]

Well kinda

[bronze cargo]

Same stats!

[spring berry]

can i get into ee at ntu (intl) w 43-44 ib?

[terse geode]

i got more chance at uiuc than nus

[surreal kindle]

its my instate school

[keen ether]

I know a lot of Singaporeans here

Like a lot

[terse geode]

ive heard u need 43 in finals to even be considered

[keen ether]

There are so many

[nova wyvern]

damn

[lethal mesa]

what about indonesians

[nova wyvern]

what if no one from a specific school

[keen ether]

Some schools have good relationships with uiuc and stuff

[nova wyvern]

has applied in the past

[keen ether]

A few

I know some from JIS?

I think that's the name

Jakarta international school

[nova wyvern]

i dont think anyone from my school ever applied to UIUC

[lethal mesa]

oh okay, I'm not from that school though

[nova wyvern]

its a very competitive school tho

[keen ether]

Yea I only know people from JIS I think

[nova wyvern]

any indians in UIUC?

gotta be some

[surreal kindle]

everyone here enjoy uiuc campus next year

[midnight furnace]

any gies applicants

[keen ether]

A shit ton man lol

[surreal kindle]

and freeze

[nova wyvern]

true

[keen ether]

There's a reason why our school is called UIUC - University of Indians and University of Chinese

[nova wyvern]

chicago has a crazy amt of indians
