help??

so how many aps altogether
13
incld this year
still pretty good
ok sheesh
1-1-4-7
OH NAW
SEVEN!?
exponential ahh curve
SEVEN
bruh what
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE 0-3-5-5
im just a chill guy
i left it blank
i did...
why doesnt it work for me bruh 😭
at least none of my schools look at grades
so did u submit it like this
just my courseload
ye
For senior year?
mid year
my school does the same. just click other and enter the percentage grades
at least i looked thru them and they dont
unless ur deferred
i think my course rigor trend is pretty good besides the grades so 😭
i also did 2 DE
yes
6A is already on you
how bad is it if i have all A's and 1 b in ap Calc and i'm applying CS
true true
i currently have 1A 0R 0W
its fine??
And the 1A is direct admissions 😎
I already have amazing options
30k scholarhsip type shit
Well i've really only gotten into 2 really good schools (for me) UMN, and COlorado school of minesd
thats fire
I've also gotten WSU, Oregon State, Boise State, and U of Utah
my school is NYIT
fire fire
no its telling me to add a conversion scale tho
I know im going to college 😁
fire so happy about that
wdym just enter the grades
like this is what it looks like
nvm guys

I love how all the less sweaty kids chill out here
All the sweats treat this school as a safety
what
Yea
real
This is what I associate CS with
y'all do not want to be competing with the sweaty oos cs major
That’s still really fucking hard 😔
hey it could be worse
you could be applying uwashington oos cs
that shit's brutal
UChicago RD
nah
😈
arguably its worse
because a state school
has a 2% acceptance rate
eh uc berkeley does too
It’s UChicago
read somewhere that cs at ucb is 1.9%
no I mean uwashington lmao
uhh math
😭
I'm not coming here if I don't get CS tho
also my math ain't as strong as my cs
How strong is your math
Look here I ain’t the regular A2C tryhard, I’m significantly worse
BOTH FORMS?!?
Unlucky
this year?
I choked A so hard
daym
Yeah
Cuz the test was HARD compared to last year
new administration off to a good start as usual
wait what
Nah it lowkey isn’t
wasn't the cutoff 222
The applicant pool isn’t that tough compared to say CS
No it was 245?
But even if you applied CS you’d have a solid shot of getting in
oh what the fuck
Look it up
I know someone probably got 15 AIME but choked AMC so they missed USAMO
It was SO Bas
how fucked could it be if your USAMO cutoffs are greater than jmo
actually that's usualy
That’s nornal
Cuz 10th graders aren’t gonna get as much AIME pts
Comp math carrying my app
I built some cool gadgets at home
I did get a decent score
Only could write about them
the one year where it did matter
Junior?
Qualify AIME?
yea
Noice
NOICE
someone check me on that math
why is wisconsin gc awfully quiet its always uiuc or purdue
oops
Purdue and UIUC got community
that spam msgs (I love it)
because uhh I'm guaranteed wisconsin kek
wisconsinite here
We’re all mediocre compared to people in general chat
wdym
General chat kiddos make me feel stupid
my
?
math essay was so bad
That’s fine
Math is not very competitive at UIUC
lemme post it here so you can skim
kk
Posting essays might be against rules idk didn’t check
yall for engineering?
I'm here for quant
I’m for Eng!
My Eng essay was genuinely pretty cool
I wrote about booby trapping my house
grainger had the highes apps out of all colleges
Yeah it’s scary
crazy difference
Grainger best college anyways
Grainger apps have tons of CS too
CS severely dropping that acceptance rate
I always imagined uiuc and purdue to be very stat based schools
when it comes to admitting
this always fascinates me
gies pls 😦 pretty pls gies with a cherry on top accept me
Most state schools are yes
they still consider essays as important lmfao
uiuc’s common data set
purdue’s common data set
also people lie on the internet. just bc someone posted an essay on reddit doesn’t mean someone actually applied with it lol
Does UIUC not take the fee waiver from the Common App? My portal checklist says they need my fee waiver submitted to UIUC by my counselor I think
fair enough
Purdue ranks test scores as very important, while UIUC only considers them
yep
For more selective majors I bet test scores are pretty damn important though
yeah since both the unis admit based on college/major
Oh good
hi Pack STANFORD '29
how are you
?
hope u stay warm
oh its cold ahhh in illinos
*ILLINOIS
let me in 🙏
🥶
why is it interesting lmfao
they’re both public schools
also uiuc doesn’t consider class rank
when should you submit srar again lol
does not it say,...
this is insane??
i did 29 for free 🥶
the beauty of being low income
oh
i only had 1 fee waiver
and that was because i was on their mailing list
💀
LOL
cause i said yes for the collegeboard test
I love common app fee waiver
Saved me ~$1600
real
Already in debt before the school year has begun
Ggs
😹
What’s the point of applying to over 20 schools?
i am applying to 21 total
Maximizing the chance you get into a really good one apparently
I feel like that should have been done before applying to college
Yeah
But applying to many is another thing to do to maximize
It’s kinda dumb but it sometimes works out
Didn’t make it to MIT? Well 19 more schools are in the T20
cause why not
😛
on sigma\
bc its free n i have time
yes
shotgunning is fun
if u like opening rejections
❤️ (me)
for the chance that theres a congratulations!
imagine if they edge u
saying
unfortunatley...
Unfortunatley... ||it was so hard for us to not accept you into the class of 2029 ||
help real
is someone here from cbse
idk how to put the grade conversion
cus we have it like A1 A2
and that stuff is pretty random in 10th grade (they compare it with other kids)
well not so good in other countries
being elligible for common app fee waiver is nice and all
but i would like it if i had the requirements for not being elligible
like imagine how cool it would be if I was given a road to hypsm
right 😭
I did cbse till 10th then switched to ib
uiuc has given an example of how to report cbse grades on the srar
Do we have to mark 1st semester senior grades as In Progress on the SRAR if we already have 1st semester transcripts
I put n/a
Icse tho, but same, we have those too
could u share SS of that page
just the grade report thing
and no GPA to report?
ohh
India – Application Help, Undergraduate Admissions, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
smth like this
aight thx
i filled it out like this (this conversion was on my 10th board results) and submitted it for ea. UIUC emailed me for some other mistake but didnt mention this so i'm assuming its correct
yo but i dont think thats correct idk
one of the subjects i got A2 for a 93
these conversions are based on my batch
did u do cbse
yes, this is 10th though not 12th
i think i have the option to not fill it out
yeah for 10th as well
i think its based on how hard the exam was for letter-grade
yep
its based on student performance
then leave it blank, if they rlly need u to fill it out they'll send an email. This is how my college counselor said to do it
damn
for the grade thing ill leave it blank ig
in grade 10 this doesnt really apply since theyre positional
@hollow cave did you put block scheduling as a no
so you can leave it blank
alr
what abt this
they will probably have a CBSE officer who would know the context of the a1 a2 in ur boards marksheet
Yeah true
i put no only
do u leave blank for GPA as well
i mentioned 10th boards (marks) and 12th boards (yet to be taken) there again seperately
i dunno lemme check
i dont have a transcript but if its overall
i didnt get to that yet
Alright
dont think it matters
hm yeah
i gotta enter scores again?!
bruh
wait are we supposed to add pre-final marks on the other page or the same thing @dark plaza
cus idk pre finals
or half yearly scores
in my srar, in the normal part (not the intl exam result part)
i put till grade 11
my teacher uploaded both real grade 12 half yearly (midterms, or term 1 marks), and boards predicted marks
they arent final per se so i didnt put them here
left it at 11th
and in the intl exam section put 12th boards each subj as "in progress"
or not yet recieved
what abt 10 grade
my grading scale aint here 💀
which
hyderabad
incl or excluding prac
final marks is out of 100 meaning put 0-100
yeah but like no clue yk
like we have 70 + 30 or 80 + 20 so
ill just leave it at that
they change it?
had a look dude its 70 + 30 for phys chem, 100 + 0 (no internal/prac for math), and 80 + 20 for all the comm/humanities subjs
so put 100 only
yeah
non of the colleges had a tedious form like this
i mean its fine its just long
where are you from?
blr
ye cs
ima dm you
sure
im not able to do this captcha 😭
i dunno drag the circle at the top right to the empty triangle i guess 😭
Enter a grading scale or conversion below if one appears on your transcript or you have an international transcript with grades not listed as A-F.
yo what do i fill in this
intl cbse
not able to submit the page without filling this
this is how the machines take over smh
0-100 if thats what ur asking but
im intl cbse wasnt compulsory
(i think)
i wonder how many intl students will get in, idk what the demos look like but it'll be fun to meet new people if i get in 😄
idk if certain majors have more intl students tho
oh shoot they have a lot of international students . i did not know this LMFAOO .. ig it wasnt a main concern of mine
Most probably STEM would have the most intls
Guys I heard it's advisable to just get a 4 or 5 on bc and skip math 231 because apparently it's hell
Can someone confirm
@rare badger @unique axle
(i might be a lil delusional)
pls pls pls
Ahh yes
we're all getting in actually and I refuse to believe anything else
People really hate the calc sequence here. I managed to skip calc 3 since I had dual credit, but my friends constantly complain about the calc classes not being great
Honestly, getting as much AP credit as possible is really nice since it can free up more time to either take more electives, lessen up courseload in busy semesters, or even let you finish a semester early
i see
do you still get ap credit for classes that dont fall in the scope and sequence of your major
and do those still count towards graduation
for example i got a 3 on ap chem which can get me some credit at uiuc
even tho im not a chem major
You do, they just might not count for much. A lot of my AP credit just fills out the 120 credit hour graduation requirement, whereas others fill out gen eds. AP physics, for example, doesn't count as anything towards my major but is one of the natural science gen eds out of the way
Calc, though, is a class required for my major that I just got to skip due to AP credit
ohhh ok
AP psych counted as a social science gen ed, etc.
is the intro to cs class here (cs 124 i think) above the scope of ap cs a
ohh ok
I didn't take AP CS A, but from what I've heard most of the content is covered in there. I personally had 0 CS background and just self studied for the proficiency test over like a couple weeks. If you've done AP CS A, studying should take a few days max
There's an official website made by the UIUC CS course staff that goes over the entire curriculum of 124 that you can go through, or you can just take one of the online practice tests to see what you need to review if anything for the prof exam
yea ive done ap cs a and i got a 4 on it
do i still need to take the proficiency exam
Yes
Uhh, you have to take proficiency exams for all of the core CS classes. I think AP CS A counts for something, but nothing that counts for the major. The CS 124 proficiency test is pretty easy and I would recommend it. There's also one for 173 (a proofs-based math class with a CS bend) along with some higher level CS core classes, but I would not recommend those as they are harder than taking the class and would require a lot of studying
The 173 prof is doable, but most often done with some self-study after taking a different proofs class (eg, many people do it after taking Math 314 I think it was)
i see
how are the pure math classes here
im still interested in minoring in math if thats possible
I've heard good things about them, but that comes from math majors since they're the ones that take them. The calc sequence is bad, but classes like Math 347 (proofs) or Math 416 (theoretical linear algebra) I've only heard good things about
neat, im so glad i grinded out calc 3 for fun
hs didnt offer class
but i loved the process of learning it
nerds
yes
ong
ong
please take me UIUC
im not looking at my decision until april 1 sorry folks
rd gets theirs on feb 28th
i know
but everything comes out either before or on april 1
so if let's say i get rejected by UIUC
i wont be sad until the next decision
oh ok
what if i do this?
edge myself until my next decision
(march)
basically
the benefits of opening everything at once is that you can open them from least important to most important
Ah yes
(i wont)
but no if i get reject uiuc in state 💀 as an econ major im COOKED LOL
no bc like im gonna feel saur bad for my next decisions..
.
gies please❣️
yes

🤓
.
no
how hard is grainger to get into
my parents say its hard
i thought it was pretty high
you have a 50% chance
every trial is independent
I have a 50% chance of every college
ok acc some of them r niche auto admit or wtvr that is 🤓
Besides that
ok true
LMAO

no
no point thinking about this place anymore bro just go to stanford
yeah no i get it
if u cant afford stanford there's no point doing uiuc oos
when people tell me i was agonizing over penn state v usc people were shocked
UIUC being ugly is just part of the Illinois charm
ooh
It's what you get for going to a school in the midwest
#econ
help
we have these mini libraries inside the main one it's awesome
ok real
grainger is alright
yes
i love econ
nuclear engineering
i think most of my uc schools had econ
idk i avoid grainger sometimes but it's open 24/5 so
like the place. good people except these cs+ling majors i keep meeting...
incoming cs + ling
And yet you're in the '28 CS + Ling discord server. Curious 🤔
it happens
Avoid any CS + Ling major who plays League. Or anyone who plays League, for that matter
CS and League?
🤓
ngl i dont fw micro goofy ahh class
i ❤️ macro tho
wtvr
i'll grind it
micro is fun wym
school has hella limited courses what's micro?
and has 50 sick days left
so he gonna stay home all this sem
but we got a snow dayyy 🙉
microeconomics !
they get an explicit number of sick days? 😭
study of individuals, markets, and types of markets
i guess
bro after giving the definition
shut up
too bad im in an ib school w/out economics
unnecessary
no
?!?!??!?!?!??!?!??!??!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!??!?!??!?!?!?!?!?
.
ok why is bro like this ong 💯
no
doesnt ap phyC fulfill the grainger physics requirement. i guess since cs+ling is LAS it wouldnt matter but yeah
I don't know, check the website. It'll know better than I do
I didn't take Physics C
if i go to UIUC, im going to try testing out of cs1 cs2 and ds&a (forgot the numbers), i have credit for calc1-3, diffeq, and discrete math
first semester comparch 
jkjk
have you taken cs233/341, people on reddit say its the hardest CS classes at uiuc
apparently CS+X majors dont have to do it but pure CS does
woahhhhhhh
u dont liike the idea :(
This is just like utilitarianism except instead of maximizing utility you’re maximizing edging
What
If fat rejection letter in late February
Ima be sad until MIT comes out
And then MIT is likely gonna reject too
CS 374 is the hardest i believe, which is pure algorithms and models of computation
And then sad all the way until other targets come
233/341 is systems and low level stuffs, shouldnt be as difficult as 374 for CS majors since it is not their main focus
yo guys im from alberta and high school here starts in 10th grade - so we only have 3 years of high school. do i just not enter anythign for grade 9? i dont even have my grade 9 transcript. will this like fail my requirements or some shit
no i support
there’s an SRAR page for canada
@broken iron email them asap
uh i jus tsubmitted my gr 10-11 marks
and then my gr 12 schedule
i think it should be chill hopefully
i explained in additional info section that high school here starts in 10th so should be ok
For what
“University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) (2024-2025)”
...
what
Boooooo
yes
no
Maybe
yesn’t
n'tyes
Is it fine if my SRAR classes aren't in order? I forgot to add a 9th grade class so I put it at the end
I mean each course gives you the opportunity to say what grade you took it so you should be fine
this part
the website doesnt have any suggestions for this
gimme a sec ill check my srar
tysm man
dude this is whats there
and then below that my courses start
theres nothing here thats like a seperate grading scale
in teh end when it asks about leaving exams i put grading scale as 0-100
we dont have A to F at all no
cbse
cbse
thats weird
dont they have a letter grade next to your board marks?
its positional
yep
right
no clue what to do
and in 9th 11th it usually isnt positional (its up to the school)
yeah that makes sense acc
what does teh example say
it just says to list the grading scale as other
nothing else
but i cant submit without putting a conversion
to letter grading
no im not filling that up yet
im on the first part
oh
.this one
ok i like actually have no memory of something like this happening
lemme check my srar
its been awhile
is the website bugged lmao
like a legend
yeah there should be then
Skip it
this is what im getting if i dont put any conversion
so cant skip it
;-;
I skipped it
^^
u were rd no
ok then idk they couldnt have changed anything either
it worked for me
lemme readd my school and see if it fixes it
i just tried it
oh W
ggs
guys what if i couldnt take 2 yrs of art/vocational...
bc its giving me a warning i didnt meet their requirements
😭
wasnt it a language?!??!
no..
wait i read it wrong oh my gee: Approved art, music, or vocational education courses may be counted in this category.
for the Flexible Courses
😭
help language is seperate for us
they sent this for me:"We have detected that you may be missing courses to meet our requirement for admission. Please check your English courses to see if more should be entered."
and lwky i have 4 years in everything except language (3) so i was super werided out
...
for rd?
not sure since the deadline was 11th Jan
should i email?
it went through though
hhhh my reason is just being stupid and forgetting though
i was swamped with other stuff
Send an email anyways and hope they r chill abt it
Prolly best to not mention your reason
