uiuc

ivory magnet
# keen ether Lol

Not technically a CS + X question, but that's what I got in for so I'll ask anyways. How bad are gen eds at UIUC? I'd like to think I've covered a bit of them already with AP tests/dual credit, but I haven't gone into the details whether, say, my 5 on AP music theory would fulfill any of the requirements.

na

#

js wondering

slow holly
#

Actually, what are the chances of acceptance from the waitlist?

stable anchor
vital knoll
#

or 0.1%

bronze hull
#

I am rejected but not sad because I got into UTAustin otherwise I would have cried a river

vital knoll
#

or 1%

#

in 2021 they accepted like 0 students from the waitlist

#

uiuc is never gonna have a shortage of students that admit

#

so unless maybe they have 1 or 2 seats left in a specific major? then yea but otherwise its very rare

slow holly

#

what's compe acceptance rate

vital knoll
#

i mean thats how most waitlists are in general

just shud've gotten in EA 💯 💯

or 30

Although uiuc is way higher ranked

do uiuc waitlist many?

tiny sentinel
#

It doesn’t rly help the overall cost that much

vital knoll

true

#

how much is purdue and unc

#

for u

tiny sentinel
#

I think unc is same price as umd before scholarship

#

And Purdue is cheapest

fathom pawn
#

hello hello i've got a question, dunno if it goes here?

vital knoll
#

yea but how much cheaper man

fathom pawn
#

one of my (canadian) friends got into uiuc for cs + physics. he was asking for a comparison to ga tech but i didn't apply to ga tech so i wouldn't know 🤷
y'all have advice on whether he should cross the border for uiuc? and if possible a comparison to ga tech?

vital knoll
#

are you oos in all 3

tiny sentinel
#

Like 10k maybe

#

Yeah I’m from nj

vital knoll
fathom pawn
vital knoll
#

crossing the border to compare colleges

tiny sentinel
#

They’re both basically the same

vital knoll
#

yea

fathom pawn
#

basically asking if uiuc is worth it compared to like. waterloo if he's canadian

vital knoll
#

oh

tiny sentinel
#

Oh idk ab that

vital knoll
#

id say yes

tiny sentinel
#

Waterloo is rly good

fathom pawn
#

but he also asked for a comparison to ga tech 😭 idk why for that

vital knoll
#

but he has to do his research for that

vague granite
#

^

tiny sentinel
#

Doesn’t Waterloo guarantee you internships

vague granite
#

hard to say whats best between uiuc/gtech/waterloo

fathom pawn
#

would you guys happen to know anything about the cs + physics program? or like how it compares to regular cs?

tiny sentinel
#

If Waterloo is cheaper by a lot then I feel like it’s an easy decision

vital knoll
#

if he prefers staying in his home country and its cheaper

#

waterloo

#

if there isnt a huge diff no point in moving countries and paying higher costs

vague granite
#

if he is looking to do physics w/ cs then i think uiuc physics might have more resources than gtech but dont quote me on it

vital knoll
#

yea

vague granite
#

dont know much about waterloo but yea cost is prolly the biggest factor

fathom pawn
#

okay cool thanks

#

in terms of overall like. reputation and job opportunities and stuff are uiuc and ga tech similar

#

sorry i didn't look into ga tech at all for myself 😭

uiuc cs, waitlisted :/

somber ridge
high ingot
#

got acceptted to purdue, west lafayette for cs tho soo yeah idk what to feel atm

#

how many people does uiuc waitlist every year? in terms of like percentage

tiny sentinel
#

all i know is i checked the 2022-2023 cds

#

and they only admitted 4% of the waitlist

high ingot
#

yikes that's bad yeah

tiny sentinel
#

so especially for a cs major uiuc is prob over for us

high ingot
#

fair enough

#

what's the yield rate for uiuc cs

#

said somewhere that it's around 25%

#

that seems low considering the merit of the program

tiny sentinel
#

ig

#

i feel like if ur good enough to get into uiuc cs u prolly have other equally good options

#

like gt or ivies

high ingot
#

yeah that's what i heard as the logic

#

which is fair enough

#

so if they get 4% of the waitlist and only 25% yield, that should mean there's a lot of ppl on the waitlist no

tiny sentinel
#

yeah i think its like 4000 who accept a spot on waitlist

#

and a hundred something get in

high ingot
#

that's crazy 💀

tiny sentinel
#

yeah waitlist is basically just soft reject

#

its just a comfort that there was some merit in ur app

high ingot
#

💀

#

fair enough

#

Akshith where have we met each other?

#

#

if i were to appeal for another major would that override the fact that i opted into the waitlist for my first choice?

if the ar for compe in 2022 was ~20%, is it safe to assume now its like ~14%?

specifically from one engineering to another

#

idc abt cs

#

math aint t5 deffo

#

math at uiuc or applied math at middue guys?

vital knoll
#

whats higher ranked

wary beacon
vital knoll
#

whats the rankings

#

for both

wary beacon
#

55 and 63

#

on qs math ranking, which does confuse me a bit

vital knoll
#

usnews?

wary beacon
#

32 purdue and 74 uiuc(wtf??)

#

but im seeing some rather abysmal rankings there, like purdue over cornell, brown and upenn💀

regal bison
#

rankings arent everything guys 💀

wary beacon
#

they just asked for em

#

Universities that put their ranking on their website kinda annoy me

#

so all of them

#

its like they have to justify something

#

feels weird idk

wary beacon
vital knoll
#

ik rankings are not everything

#

just asking

#

in general

leaden meadow

#

does UIUC have anything similar?

#

There’s also a SIAM Chapter at Purdue

wary beacon
#

i wrote about ccam in my purdue essays haha

worldly moss
#

same yeah

leaden meadow
vital knoll
#

are anyone of yall gonna appeal

Lol

vital knoll

wait so is there a data science major in uiuc

regal bison
#

afaik there data science is usually in combination with another interest area

#

i dont think there is just raw data science here

spring berry
#

alr ty

#

i got in for info + data science

#

i just wanted to know if there was just a data science

#

does that mean that i can say my major is data science or does it have to be the information sciences

regal bison
#

well

#

your major is both combined so whatever u want

spring berry
#

alr

#

i think it's x + ds so imma just say ds

vital knoll
#

@bronze hull yo u there?

bronze hull
#

Yes mate, what’s up?

vital knoll

i didnt mind because i thought it wouldnt matter

#

but apparently rd decisions came out yesterday

#

im cooked

bronze hull
#

Yeah, they require a lot

vital knoll
#

is it too late

bronze hull
#

I guess

#

How many colleges do u apply to ??

#

did*

vital knoll
#

a lot

#

like 27 or smth

#

but apparently not everyone got their decisions yesterday

#

still a few pending

bronze hull
#

Ohh

#

I was rejected from UIUC lol

vital knoll
#

dang

bronze hull
#

What bout u

#

Did you get in??

vital knoll
#

no

Do I sign up for the Grainger admitted students tour if I was accepted for CS+X? My admission portal says I got admitted into the LAS college since my +X is linguistics, but CS falls under Grainger and I see no LAS tours.

vital knoll
#

some dude said to

keen ether
#

It's watered down a lot compared to cs + stats, which is the better major for data science

#

Like the major doesn't even make you do a real stats class nor calc 3

ivory magnet
keen ether
#

And you take a discrete math class

ivory magnet
#

So just stats and discrete math left to do, then.

keen ether
#

Yes

#

You have a theory class too

#

Which is quite mathy

#

But it's CS theory

#

If you wanna do more math classes you certainly can too

ivory magnet
#

I guess I didn't really need to do calc 3 then, huh?

keen ether
#

Nah but it's gonna open some pathways

#

Especially in machine learning and math

candid seal
#

Is calc 1 similar difficulty to ap calc

keen ether
#

Depends on which ap calc

ivory magnet
#

So I just checked the course requirements (probably should've just done that earlier) and it says I need to take math 225 or 257 to complete the linear algebra requirement. I assume I'll have no problems with getting my 415 credit to count for that?

keen ether
ivory magnet
#

Cool, thank you!

#

Now I just have to figure out what my EPOL 201 credit gets me...

#

Also, does this credit help me at all?

spring berry
#

the acceptance rate for school of information sciences was like 21 %

#

so i assumed it was pretty good

#

but idk

quartz plover
#

do NOT do cs here

#

it sucks

#

(225 is a lot of work)

summer cobalt
#

i got in for ee but i heard its basically the same thing as comp eng and you can switch majors

quartz plover
#

uhhhh

#

its not bad

#

and im switching to EE

summer cobalt
#

oh sick

quartz plover
#

like i dunno what individual people consider a bad workload

#

its challenging but never impossible

stable anchor
summer cobalt
#

like how many hours of study/hw a day is it normally

quartz plover
#

depends on the sem and class

#

this semester i dont study much but i spend a LOT on hw

#

also if you wanna do CS just go do a cs+x major

summer cobalt
#

i mean is there time to party most weekends or is it only the occasional weekend

quartz plover
#

dont do compE

#

if partying is a priority youll be able to

summer cobalt
#

i gapplied to ee cuz i love hardware

#

liek circuits n stuff

quartz plover
#

ok then stick with EE

summer cobalt
#

does comp e still do most of that stuff

quartz plover
#

yes

#

but not as much

#

thats why im switching to EE

summer cobalt
#

hmm ok

stable anchor
#

CompE is a lot of digital logic stuff

#

and low level programming

quartz plover
#

compE will be like verilog, fpga, low level programming

summer cobalt
#

sick

stable anchor
quartz plover
#

I wanna do silicon/semiconductors and power so i

#

shouldnt be in CompE

summer cobalt
quartz plover
#

I just think ECE 391/374 are not worth my time personally

stable anchor
# summer cobalt maybe i should stick with ee then cuz i kinda want to do the same things

even 225 isnt

stable anchor
quartz plover
#

it is

#

combined with lin alg it kinda sucks

stable anchor
#

rip

summer cobalt
quartz plover
#

lin alg is my worst class by far

stable anchor
stable anchor
quartz plover
#

its so bad dude LMAO

keen ether
#

It's a really pretty bad 😭

quartz plover
#

i cant bring myself to study

keen ether
summer cobalt
#

ive been trying to figure out for like a year whether ee or ce is right for me b ut i know i want to do either of those two

stable anchor
keen ether
#

I personally think cs isn't that bad

quartz plover
keen ether
#

Really?

quartz plover
#

i dont wanna do it

keen ether
#

I spent like no time on that class 😭

quartz plover
#

i wanna do power circuits or semiconductors

keen ether
#

I finished all the MPs on the first day

quartz plover
keen ether
#

It depends on what you like, if ur more into CS than yes CS is betger

quartz plover
keen ether
#

But some people probably more fit for EE

keen ether
#

374 is wrecking my ass

stable anchor
keen ether
#

But 225 is honestly pretty easy compatively

quartz plover
#

and THAt is why i wanna switch

keen ether
#

Yea I mean I would switch if u like circuits better

#

I'm the opposite as you

quartz plover
keen ether
#

I find our comp arch class annoying as fuck

stable anchor
keen ether
#

I hate circuits

quartz plover
#

yeah each to its own

#

i did compe cause i wanted the cs flexibility

#

until i realized i didnt want or need it

keen ether
#

Yea but not everyone likes cs

stable anchor
#

Circuits ❤️

keen ether
#

Yea if you wanna do anything embedded it's better to do EE

#

I'm the opposite, you can't pay me to deal with circuits

summer cobalt
#

i ❤️ circuits!

keen ether
#

I'm more of a algorithms coding guy

quartz plover
#

is there a good cheat sheet or smth

keen ether
#

Are u taking 257?

quartz plover
#

yes

keen ether
#

Honestly fuck that class

quartz plover
#

LMAO

stable anchor
keen ether
#

I have all the past exams if you want it

#

That's how I got through 💀

quartz plover
#

UH

#

YES PLEASE

keen ether
#

Aight lemme dm u when I get to my computer

quartz plover
#

bet thanks

#

lifesaver

keen ether
#

The exams are the exact same as the actual tests except numbers changed 💀

#

257 is so fucking ass though

quartz plover
#

it really is

stable anchor
#

fr

quartz plover
#

im tryna push my tet to monday so i can ruminate on the material

#

i learned it all today

#

and then ill finish my 225 mp tonight

keen ether
#

Is this the vector space one

quartz plover
#

yes

stable anchor
#

i wish i took math 416 instead

pearl venture
keen ether
#

Yea that's the worst one

#

Aight

#

Yea

quartz plover
#

yep

#

MT2

keen ether
#

Vector spaces sucked ass

pearl venture
#

Wait are cs stats classes hard

keen ether
#

I never understood ot

keen ether
spring berry
keen ether
#

I find most of it manageable

stable anchor
pearl venture
#

Which ones are the bad ones?

fading kiln
#

Am I the only one who loves both circuit and CS 🥲

keen ether
spring berry
keen ether
#

It's awful

#

They just aren't technical enough

#

The program barely trains you for data science

keen ether
#

374 💀

#

I'm dying in that rn

pearl venture
#

Noo what year is that usually taken

keen ether
#

2 or 3

stable anchor
spring berry
tiny parcel
#

wait i thought compe was just eecs but quirky

spring berry
#

or is it like a fixed path

pearl venture
#

Ok hopefully I can keep up

keen ether
tiny parcel
#

how do i prepare myself for compe guys

spring berry
fading kiln
# keen ether 374 💀

Models of computation was a bit fine, but I can see they might hit our ass with algorithms part

keen ether
#

If you come here, then do a CS minor

stable anchor
keen ether
keen ether
#

Models of comp sucked

#

In actually rocking algorithms so hard rn

#

Like the hw is super easy for me

tiny parcel
#

😭

spring berry
keen ether
#

I finished up all the problems in like 30 min today just gotta write em out

spring berry
#

like if i minored in cs

keen ether
tiny parcel
#

i thought theres a lot of cs and a lot of ee and some only-compe stuff

stable anchor
tiny parcel
stable anchor
#

it's very flexible

tiny parcel
#

oki fun

#

how do i not die

spring berry
#

are there like actualy cs classes

keen ether
#

so you'll do cs 124, cs 128, cs 173, cs 225, and two electives

fading kiln
keen ether
#

however I highly recommend doing some stat classes too

#

ultimately cs+stats is in anyway a better version of IS+DS

#

except we don't learn any of the business side of it... but its easy to learn that anyway

stable anchor
fading kiln
keen ether
#

yes

fading kiln
#

Stay on top of things

keen ether
tiny parcel
#

oh so i need to change my entire lifestyle this summer sounds good

#

must get rid of procrastination

spring berry
fading kiln
keen ether
keen ether
#

yea the models of computation part sucked, i think I got a 50 on it

#

the exam

#

but algorithms is chilling

spring berry
fading kiln
# keen ether ahh

Yeaaa I saw there were different emphasis in the curricula a bit, like you guys focus more on theory, while we go more on application

tiny parcel
#

probs not easy but feasible

fading kiln
#

which is harder for A section

keen ether
keen ether
stable anchor
spring berry
#

like if i do it as soon as I get there will it be easier

keen ether
keen ether
#

do you have any prior cs knowledge

fading kiln
# keen ether I see

Yeaaa I saw u guys cover way more theory and spend more time on proofs, while we learn more broader aspects like push down automata, applications of turing machines etc

spring berry
#

do those count

keen ether
keen ether
spring berry
keen ether
#

yep so

#

if you want to enter cs+Stats

#

heres what you should do

#

skip cs 124

#

go directly into cs 128 and 173

#

did you take calc 3 yet?

spring berry
#

nope taking calc 2 right now

keen ether
#

ok take calc 3 first sem

#

then take cs 128, 173

#

second sem take cs 225, stat 400

#

get as high a grade as possible

#

and then transfer

spring berry
spare remnant
#

if I took calc BC and got a 5 on the ap exam, i can skip right to calc 3 first sem right?

keen ether
keen ether
spare remnant
#

awesome

spring berry
keen ether
keen ether
#

but afterwards, 4 or 5 a sem

spring berry
#

i mean like in your freshmen year how many did you take

keen ether
#

oh

#

I did like

spring berry
#

like normally

keen ether
#

5 my first sem
