[subtle venture]

[boreal locust]

[subtle venture]

ohh cool

[boreal locust]

i cannot tell my story

[lost portal]

Is UIUC gonna defer everyone

[lone ginkgo]

No they aren’t like Michigan

They are comparable to Purdue EA in like the amount of people for acceptance deferral or rejection

[loud storm]

That’s good id rather get rejected

[wanton bough]

hi

[night jasper]

Purdue this year or Purdue in previous years because like everyone at my school this year was rejected and one person was deferred 💀

[mint marsh]

PLEASEE UIUC

[kind urchin]

[narrow thunder]

As to Purdue this year, the acceptance rate for Daniels dropped from 54% to 31%.

[loud storm]

[craggy hazel]

a big misconception is that Math&CS and Stat&CS are not CS+X programs

[near pine]

do they operate differently?

like is math&cs or stat&cs more of a dual degreee

[craggy hazel]

no they are all one degree

[near pine]

rather than like cs+x is more focused on the x

[craggy hazel]

but just that they aren't CS+X programs

i mean if you look at the order of the majors

CS+X programs are CS-heavy, while the math/stat ones are math/stat heavy

[near pine]

ohh alr

i didnt know that

[craggy hazel]

so in fact CS+X is better than Math / Stat, contrary to popular belief

[near pine]

wb pure cs then

[craggy hazel]

that's pretty good but it's very hard to get in

[near pine]

yeah true that

[craggy hazel]

then again I don't think it matters so much for job / grad school

I know people who took Math & CS and got into OpenAI

[near pine]

damn

[craggy hazel]

intern* for now

but on the resume you need to put Math before CS

otherwise ur kinda lying about ur major

lateral transfer between cs+x is pretty easy

[slim trail]

[mint marsh]

this is the only one theyr eally want

as in

🙏

and if i cant get in bro they gna be so disappointed

😭

[quiet salmon]

[mint marsh]

[quiet salmon]

uiuc isnt a safety

[mint marsh]

bro if i dont get in

[quiet salmon]

even for in state

[mint marsh]

they finna start planning out my transfer plans

[quiet salmon]

its def higher but not a safety

a safety is 80%->

[night jasper]

That’s so fr if I can’t get in being in state imma crash out

[mint marsh]

[mint marsh]

NO FR

idgaf ab the school if im being honest

[quiet salmon]

💀

[mint marsh]

and im js like "feb"

sometime in feb

[quiet salmon]

tell them to shut up

jk

[mint marsh]

yea so i have hypothetically until the 28th of feb

[quiet salmon]

i would tell them to shut up respectfully

[mint marsh]

bro they prolly gna look on chinese forums for the decision date or smth

cant even hide it ngl

[night jasper]

I have to FaceTime my grandma and aunt + uncle opening decision on the 31st and if I get rejected that’s so embarrassing 💀

[mint marsh]

BR WHATT

WHy

i would kms

[night jasper]

nahh because I got rejected from Purdue on the video call and I just had to stand there and act all nonchalant about it 😭

[quiet salmon]

its fine its 1 moment in ur life

[gleaming crane]

me and my cousin both applied and we already have another cousin who attends so this should be fun

[quiet salmon]

i feel happy that i got unc and umich decisions out of the way

[mint marsh]

real

[quiet salmon]

i opened my rejection and deferral letter and just said its ok

idk why people feel the need to start coping and complaining on here

😭

[night jasper]

Yeah honestly it’s ok now it’s just in the moment very awkward

[rapid tangle]

😹

i just want to go somewhere that i'll enjoy so when i get rejected i don't feel a certain way

[quiet salmon]

lol

[rapid tangle]

i see a lot of people get emotional but i already have bad expectations

the only way is up!

[mint marsh]

i aspire to be like uhmmnate tbh

[quiet salmon]

you are already better than me

[quiet salmon]

my only emotion is i get tense

🔥

[mint marsh]

well i js wanna be more chill yk

when opening decisions

[quiet salmon]

i mean id obviously be a bit disheartened

but its like i have options

[mint marsh]

yea

[quiet salmon]

yea u feel me

!!

[rapid tangle]

i mean i get nervous before opening but

after i learn the result its like: 🤷

[quiet salmon]

right

thats what im saying just be like that

😭

[mint marsh]

yea gonna expect rejection ong

cant really set too high expectations

if they’re the worst

[rapid tangle]

exactly

my states are like okay

[tired basin]

Define “okay”

Probably 3.9 and 1520 knowing A2C

[slim trail]

if thats the case my stats are considered beyond salvagable

[rapid tangle]

no

3.7uw and 1340 sat, sat is below average but i would say gpa is above average

i think my ecs are pretty cool though i run a yt channel 😎

[tired basin]

[rare berry]

lollll

also uhhhh

http://nprillinois.org/education-desk/2025-01-24/university-of-illinois-raises-tuition-at-all-campuses

"The new tuition rates will only impact new undergraduates starting this fall. Under state law, resident undergraduates enrolling in public universities are guaranteed four years of unchanged tuition."

[hollow cave]

As if it wasnt already high enough

[mint marsh]

its ok illinois commitment 🔥

[hollow cave]

No chance of affording uiuc now 💀

[spring cipher]

fr bruh

[spring cipher]

[rare badger]

squid game ☠️

funny enough I am international student from korea lol

[spring cipher]

is that your plan to afford it?

btw what do south korean ppl think of squid game?

[rare badger]

reflection of reality + nostalgic

I remember playing those games a lot when I was young

[spring cipher]

ohh

[rare badger]

and in reality a lot of ppls cannot even afford a house because real estate is very expensive in korea

[spring cipher]

yeah i heard things are bad in south korea

smthg abt a martial law

and that ppl outside Seoul are basically living like North Koreans

[rare badger]

martial law was so unnecessary and it just made our economy worse

[spring cipher]

hmm

[rare badger]

our birthrate is cooked too

and a lot of 20s and 30s dont want to work

[spring cipher]

then just reproduce💀

[rare badger]

yeaaa we are cooked ☠️

[spring cipher]

shit thats bad

[rare badger]

nobody wants because a single child takes too much of their income

[spring cipher]

yeah makes sense

[rare badger]

a lot of korean tech companies are also trying to move out

I think Texas, Michigan, Georgia will be some target states for korean tech companies

[glossy thicket]

@humble goblet

[humble goblet]

no shit sherlock

[frail oar]

south korean society is like

i think its way too cutthroat

i feel like there needs to be like a fundamental change to the societal culture and the way of life in korea

idk i dont live in korea but i am korean so thats just what i think

[harsh osprey]

talking about korean society in a uiuc college thread is something

[mental crescent]

honestly yea but I agree, culturally South Korea is very depressing

[frail oar]

theres a reason why korea has such high suicide rates

When you’re spending 40k+ it is

[empty current]

Small price to pay

Ita uiuc

If i get in
That 2% more wont be able to stop me

[mental crescent]

dude are u serious

one of the reasons why i favored uiuc was because they are cheaper than other state universities for out of state

[lone ginkgo]

Yeah I’d still go if it’s the best school I get into but damn

my essays were lowk kinda ass tho

btw do u mind telling ur stats

[spring cipher]

uiuc is hypsm level for cs

[spring cipher]

on dm works too

[craggy hazel]

pure cs

i did cs+x lmao

which x?

[craggy hazel]

philosophy

i mean some research + usaco platinum and actually below average gpa for intl

[spring cipher]

damn intl and still got in🔥

[craggy hazel]

ironically I think UIUC considers intl and oos on similar merits

[spring cipher]

how r u finding it there

your major and uiuc as a whole?

if you committed

[craggy hazel]

it's pretty good i'd say

committed yeah screw nyu

• gatech

[spring cipher]

is there a good social life?

Yeah

[loud storm]

50k!=80k

[kind urchin]

yeah i was gonna apply nd got scared when i saw that pricetag

[subtle venture]

im gonna dm you

[uncut pasture]

87k and they jack tuition for juniors/seniors

its actually diabolical

[loud storm]

That’s actually insane

Like even Georgia tech and uiuc aren’t charging more than 60k

[uncut pasture]

uiuc COA comes out to like 60k

[loud storm]

Yeah

[uncut pasture]

actually like 65k

[loud storm]

Oh

[uncut pasture]

gt about 50

[loud storm]

Gatech is like 50

[uncut pasture]

purdue about 40

[loud storm]

Yeah

[loud storm]

Nah

45

But yeah

hella cheap

[rancid quarry]

uiuc is so competitive this year lmao

[willow kettle]

yes

it is for real

but actually

it has been known for its competitivenesss

for years

for decades

maybe even centuries

so its noting new

this year

if you know what i mean

[rancid quarry]

ig yeah

[vernal brook]

yes particularly in the computer science major

[uncut pasture]

not really, UIUC only got super duper comp after it joined commonapp

before it was far less competitive

so last few yrs rly

[willow kettle]

how many years ago did that occur?

what a strange turn of events

one would not expect that in the current flow of affairs

[uncut pasture]

i think it was 2020 ish

[vernal brook]

Hey, not really, I think uiuc was quite competitive from around 2015, WELL OBVIOUSLY ITSMORE COMP NOW AS THE YEARS GO BY BUT STILL WAS RELATIVELY COMP

[mint marsh]

gies used to be 40% wth

literally am cooked

[floral gull]

uiuc for some engineering majors is a little easier than purdue

[willow kettle]

why u always lying

[willow kettle]

?

which ones

wtf

why u always lyin lilbro

[uncut pasture]

i think aero

[rancid quarry]

purdue this year is crazy

[vernal brook]

r u calling out @wind ore

[uncut pasture]

i think CS really drags down uiuc grainger admissions

[mint marsh]

please uiuc

[rancid quarry]

cs cooks your admissions rate

[mint marsh]

bro if i get rej econ its over

[uncut pasture]

while purdue tends to have more competitive admissions overall

[willow kettle]

https://tenor.com/view/illini-uiuc-illinois-illinois-basketball-illinois-football-gif-25044200

[mint marsh]

please

[uncut pasture]

also uiuc admits directly into major

while purdue does fye

[vernal brook]

Oh ig u do have a fair point, I wudnt know cuz im doing cs HAE HAE

[floral gull]

nuclear, civil, environmental

[willow kettle]

i didntg ask for ur opinion lil bro

[floral gull]

purdue you apply for FYE and go against all of the meche and aero people

[vernal brook]

Yo which major did u apply for?

[willow kettle]

oh that is very interesting indeed

that is news to me!

[rancid quarry]

is fye or cs more competitive this year

[floral gull]

who are typically far more competitive than someone who wants to do civil engineering

[willow kettle]

i wouldve never expected that in the last 1000 years

[floral gull]

cs

all day

[rancid quarry]

ah kk

[willow kettle]

CS

[floral gull]

they just make less money tbh lol

[rancid quarry]

is ut austin still worthit if i got in with school of informatics

in your opinion

[uncut pasture]

CS isnt even the most competitive major at purdue

[vernal brook]

dayumn son GL

[floral gull]

nuclear maybe not but civil and environmental make a lot less money than mechanical and electrical

[uncut pasture]

iirc Professional Flight Training and Nursing are both more comp

[rancid quarry]

or is purdue cs a better choice

[floral gull]

purdue cs maybe? having the cs degree might help

[rancid quarry]

what about cs at unc

compared to purdue

[uncut pasture]

but they also have people with lower stats get admitted

[uncut pasture]

unc doesnt admit by major iirc

so u cant cross compare like that

[floral gull]

During my brothers time it was a safety but that was 8 years ago

[floral gull]

unc right? i’m not entirely sure on that one

[rancid quarry]

yes but if you finish unc with cs

[floral gull]

Things sure have changed

[uncut pasture]

that depends on the procedure for declaring the majro

so idk

[rancid quarry]

how about rice engineering vs gt

[floral gull]

Is it cuz they accept by major? Cuz Purdue does FYE thing

[rancid quarry]

should you choose gt in that case

[floral gull]

yes

wayyy more people who wanna do engineering

would rather build rockets

[rancid quarry]

wait, if you get in for CS do you still have to go through the FYE thing

or is it confirmed a spot fo ryou in CS

[uncut pasture]

no cs is separate

[floral gull]

than build sewers, roads, sanitary infrastructure

[uncut pasture]

CS isnt even in engineering

[floral gull]

yea

[rancid quarry]

i see

so is there any competing for a spot in CS

like FYE

[uncut pasture]

no

[rancid quarry]

oh so if you get in for CS you get in for CS?

[uncut pasture]

you're admitted directly

yeah

[rancid quarry]

oh shit

holy cow i didnt know that

wait

that changes everything

[tired basin]

Yeah it’s called “applying”

[floral gull]

Out of curiosity what would be a major to apply to that will be hard for them to reject

I mean it’s rlly easy

No sweat

[tired basin]

Undecided or something probably

[uncut pasture]

i think more schools are increasingly moving away from internal admissions

like TX A&M waiving etam for national merit

[mint marsh]

please gies 🥺

or economics

[uncut pasture]

or berkeley making CS/business a direct-admit program

[rancid quarry]

like onc eyou get in lol

[uncut pasture]

and michigan

[floral gull]

I think given the housing crisis and over enrolment this wouldn’t be the case for this year

[uncut pasture]

anything non-stem related should be easy at purdue tbh

[floral gull]

Wdym by internal admissions ?

[uncut pasture]

like

you're in a college

and you're applying into a special program/major/transfer

more schools are restricting that or moving that all to the front

e.g. berkeley Hass started admitting as freshmen instead of as juniors

[floral gull]

I see

[floral gull]

idk but also like

do what interests you

[floral gull]

100%

[uncut pasture]

or like berkeley directly admitting people to CS/stats/DS instead of liberal arts

[subtle venture]

yo dawg why u cheating on uiuc with georgetown

[floral gull]

I was looking at some majors and I was wondering who applies to them…very niche ones…do they even make money out of it

[rapid tangle]

Maybe like special education?

Or education to be a teacher

I applied for English I dunno if that’s comp here

[floral gull]

There is also a school of social work 😭

[willow kettle]

yes there is

indeed

youre right on that

sentiment

[rapid tangle]

Yeah the SAT range is the lowest there right

[willow kettle]

accurate

[rapid tangle]

Maybe it’s easier there I dunno

[vernal brook]

on the cornfield 🤔

[hollow fractal]

wb the ACT range

[rapid tangle]

🤷

It’s SAT on the website

[willow kettle]

ok

[rapid tangle]

No ACT but I’m sure you could find it

[hollow fractal]

oh MB!

[rapid tangle]

This is a good school but the cost is kinda bad for oos, I did npc and it’s like 60k per year

[floral gull]

I am surprised not many ppl are gunning for Agri courses in UIUC

[rapid tangle]

So if I get in or not it’s kinda like 🤷

[floral gull]

Seems like a wonderful program

[willow kettle]

yes

especially considering the

[rapid tangle]

What exactly is the career path for agriculture

[willow kettle]

geographical properties of the

area

[vernal brook]

YES quite enriching

[willow kettle]

that UIUC consists of

[floral gull]

Plenty if one is looking for it

[rapid tangle]

Like what would you do

[floral gull]

Exactly

[floral gull]

a lot of people with super niche majors struggke to find work in their firld

field*

and have to work in other fields

[rapid tangle]

Yeah

[floral gull]

True

which obviously yes is possible and is done frequently but like

you’re inherently putting yourself at a disadvantage

[rapid tangle]

Considering the job market and economy

[floral gull]

Yes

[rapid tangle]

That isn’t the best position to be in

[floral gull]

like think about a nuclear engineering major right

[rapid tangle]

What do you guys think is a pretty safe major

[floral gull]

it’s pretty much just mechanical with different senior year electives

I feel like agri and life sciences is a far more growing field and has a lot of potential than ppl like to ignore or not acknowledge

if they wanna apply to be a mechanical engineer, their resume is the easiest to throw out of the stack compared to everyone else with a mechanical engineering degree

[rapid tangle]

Yeah that’s fair

Especially with like climate change

[mint marsh]

sorryyy

:((

[floral gull]

Exactly

[mint marsh]

i love uiuc ... i promise u

[rapid tangle]

But at the same time you just never know

[subtle venture]

not cool

uiuc aint gonna be happy with that

[mint marsh]

my fate alr decided

[subtle venture]

im gonna tell the admissions officer

[mint marsh]

😿

oh

are u the AO

[subtle venture]

no but i know them
