o i swear someone said its 4 pst
i mostly saw cst in the chat ¯_(ツ)_/¯
not sure why it would be 4 pst but i could be wrong :D
it’s 4cst
mbmb
4cst then
nw <3
they just emailed me and said cst
Ur not
yes
can you stop saying ur cooked
where does it say cst?
if i see this one more time ima crash the fuck out ngl
We’re all getting in 🎉🎉🎉
@iron aspen you can hide the chat
gies you know how much i love you, gies please gies u know i love u
💀
We're just assuming because illinois is CST
Deferral hell will NOT hit us
nice
for what reason
nah it feels wrong for me it's fine ~_~
deferall -> waitlist 💀
It’s not happening
We will get in
🙏
I really need to get in a deferral might actually break me
i need need need to get in
What was the point of applying early for 6 schools if I’m only done with 3, and one of them I can’t even afford
can you get waitlisted ea
No
Ea waitlist = defer
You get pushed to the next round and you’re judged at the same level of importance as all the rd applicants
Waitlist is different iirc basically they’ll only let you in if someone who’s admitted pulls out
If I get waitlisted that’s basically a reject bc I’m not waiting past may 1st to commit
mk
facts
Stay positive yalll it’ll turn out in the end
please uiuc
❤️
4pm eset?
estg?
if i get into my second major?
for engineering
how hard is it to transfer majors?
Most likely cst bc Illinois is cst
IM gonna kms
bro
please
i just want one good college bro
😭
l deadass
i
deadass
just want one of my top schools i really want
like
and georgia tech
indiana sucks
purdue mid asf
uiuc the goat!!!
Dude this is my state school if I get rejected or deferred it’s over
Worst L I’ll take
4pm cst gang
ok bet tanks
anyone know how hard it is to swtich majors?
fr 😭
depends on the major
i dont think it should be too hard to switch within grainger?
probably just meeting some gpa requirements
Within a college it should be simple, ICT is more difficult
cause like my alternative major is like 55 percent
acceptance
and my main major is like 35
or some
so
🤞🏿
idek what my main major's AR is bro idt enough people apply
ay bruh lemme get in
🙏🙏🙏
stop coping bro
i crave the corn fields bro
💀
im not tryna go fr but i need some confidence
we get it u got deferred 😭
I’m not losing sleep over this to see a white screen pls accept me
@teal palm what do you think about the engineering pathway program for residents of Illinois?
Lowk thinking about that if I don’t get into straight cs
need uiuc to pull through and i’ll have gotten into all of my ea schools
Me who has been deferred from half: 💀
bro down bad for boeing or lockheed
I’ve heard that in previous years they went over the deadline. Don’t know how accurate that is but it’s good to confirm they’ll have it on time
does uiuc defer?
i’m gonnna kms
yes
rip
Did anyone else get an email from UIUC?
Saying that decisions come out Friday?
Is it a sign? 😭
Anything is a sign at this point
everybody got that shi bro
that seems like a post-4:00 friday activity
Bro was filled with so much hope earlier this month what happened
im being realistic
When a student is admitted, it means we're inviting them to join our university. Sometimes the program a student is admitted to isn't their first choice. This means we didn't have room for all qualified applicants and thus offered that student admission to their second choice, or in some cases, an alternate major if we feel it matches their interests and goals. They're also considered wait-listed for their first choice if space becomes available in that program later on.
WE NEED TO MANIFEST[
UIUC
TAKE US ALL
🙏
wait so does the last few sentences mean that you could be admitted to secondary major choice and waitlisted for first choice major, and then get admitted to first choice major?
yes
but if ur majors are in same school
it shudt be bad
Mine too
Does choosing x as a second choice improve chances for the first 💀 because of showing interest and all that
idk i hope cause they made us write another essay for second choice 
what is x
im gonna kill mysef
UIUC PLEASE
Nope it’s considered separately
is the decision going to come out 4pm cst?
Yes
uiuc if you can hear me uiuc
math & cs would like a word
no idea im not in state lol
hi
nah last yr they released it like half an hour early
yeah anyways i got deferred from uw
so its safe to say this fucking university is butt fucking me and rejecting me
❤️
wait what major did u apply
AAAAAAH
ce for uw
i mean for UofI
pure?
ur instate to uw?
nah
luck aint svaing me
lol real
💀
est
cst
okok
est pst cst
so 1pm pst
yea
i’m gonna kms
whyyyyy :(
because i’m gonna get rejected
hi pack
omg i need to change my pfp
ain’t realize it was uiuc
we'll get rejected together
illini union
yes
HELP
no let’s manifest good energy
(im cooked)
ive alr accepted my fate
if i get deferred from fucking uw and umich
ill be lucky if i even get deferred from uiuc cs
umich is hard bro 💀
wait is uw out
yuh
yeah
wait which uw
madison
madison or seattle
madison
yes
deferall 😹🔥
2 more days 👍
bc no way im getting in + some kid at my school has legacy to uiuc
they dont do legacy
😭
yeah
oh then compare a bit
pure cs?
jk lol
yeah
they can take multiple
idt anybody other than me in my school applied math&cs
i just know their sat is higher
lmao
and also theyre female
r u male
which probably doesnt matter but liek
are you in state
yes 💀
ur cooked
no 💀💀
gg
im sayinnn
thanks dad for the extra x chromosome 🙏
joke
🙏
UIUC doesn’t take LOCI 🥲
i was jk
Man I should’ve been born a woman
thats the strat
NO BUT RHE ADMISSIONS OFFICERS ARE
also what is uiuc deferral rate
THEY ACCEPTED US ALL ALREADY TRUST
me applying to UIUC
Apparently they accept a ton off of deferral so I’d expect it to be a low amount
do they usually defer or reject?
reject
both of my friends got rejected EA
Reject more than defer
holy no way
how many ppl applied that year
why are there ftc kids here 
a fuck ton
like 60k?
63,257
holy
Ye same
oh hes probably right
Nobody is applying straight CS anymore because people know they aren't going to get in so that reduces the number of CS applicants which raises the acceptance rate
(I'm coping)
lmfaoo
bro im doing ce im cooked as well
Lmao that’s me
but seriously most people I hear in CS are applying CS+X
ngl i know a lot of poeple applying CS from my school
How many for cs ea
only a few did cs+x
i hope people dont hop on
I’m cooked
UIUC is GOING to let me in trust
opposite at my school
everyone did cs+s at mine
i just want to microprocessors 💔
Nobody applied to UIUC at my school
oh yeah cs+stat and cs+math are pretty much grainger level for AR
fo real
yea im the only applicant, the last applicant was in 2022 and she was gies
i remember during our advisory period me and 10 people were filling out our SRAR together
Genuinely these 2020 thought they had it so hard with dropping acceptance rates
GRAINGER 🔛 🔝
LMAO
welcome to 2025 😭
(we're from texas)
2025 birth rate spike
Born too early to ride the population decline wave born too early for the soft admissions pre 2020

suspicious spike in applications to other majors

You know what maybe being deferred wasn't so bad after all

One day AI slop will be better than human slop

if it's est i'll be opening it in front of my last period class 💀
cst I believe
yea makes sense
cst
IK SCARED
WE GETTIN IN GUYZZZZZ
LET ME IN PLEASE
bro left
omg girl
any cs + edus?
not that im aware of
wwwww
most are like econ or math
LITERALLY US BRUH
THANKGOD THERES SOMEONE ELSE WHO DIDNT DO SECOND MAJOR
bro there was like
nothing worth putting as a secondary at uiuc
Same bruh
Mechanical at uiuc seemed so
boring
And i ddint wanna do anything apart drom my first choice
Its all or nothing bitch
🔥🔥🔥🔥
i did second choice engineering undeclared
You still need to write an essay for
it right
Sorry lil bro cs+stats clears
cs+ling ♥️
anyone here apply systems
yepp you get it
I didnt do second major essays at any college
Not even purdue
Not interested in being yo backup ahh💀
i did for AI at purdue still got rejected though
eveywhere else i did not do secondary
for me its less of a risk bc im in state but i just wouldnt go for any other major
And like 80 dollars in fees
Plus If your first major is something not aerospace mechanical electrical or computer it’s probably much easier to swap into
And you could’ve just done like engineering undeclared
Mines engineering mechanicw
Still an extra essay bruh
They get less than 150 total applications
Okay yeah that’s probably not as hard to get into once you’re in the school
Just copy another schools essay for a different major
Well
Shoulda told me that in november😭
My program doesnt gst a lot of applications
which is my main plus point
Unlike mechanical which gets north of 800
did anyone here apply systems engineering and design
Fair if your second was mechanical it would be difficult
See brah either we grt in ot we dont
Precisely
Makes no sense
My first choice is easier thsn my second
And if im not getting into my first
No shot
i get into my second
Youll get in brah 50% admit rate
I’m cooked
Gg
good luck everyone! praying for yall :)
similarly likewise
ill add a twist as well
ee is high mostly because cs draws in alot of the applicants
as well as CE
EE is considered second choice major in terms of first year admissions but for transfer I think it is considered as first choice major
When making your first-choice selection, keep in mind that there are some majors that are first-choice-only majors due to their demand.
Those majors for first-year engineering applicants include computer science (including CS+X), computer engineering, and mechanical engineering. For transfer engineering applicants, computer science (including CS+X), computer engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering are first-choice-only options.
If i dont get in im cooked
if i dont get in for matsci im cooked
k i wont
gonna kms
O em gee
im scare
u r already in stanford?
Worried about UIUC when you’re into Stanford 😭😭
To each their own
I just snagged a college people would think is an instant commit for me
Which?
Are you a resident of Illinois
yeah there was no other real reason for someone who got into stanford to be worried about uiuc results
Congratulations on Stanford by the way!!
I got an email saying it comes out at 4 tomorrow, is that est?
it’s probably central but idk
UIUC top party school
Central
Illinois falls under CST
1 day…
Let me innnnn
If I don't get in I'll be sad but I've got my safeties
Loyola and DePaul got me 🙏
I think I will tho given my stats
It'll be crazy if I don't 😭😭😭
I'm so scared
what major?
CS+ling
what are your stats?
anything with cs is still difficult but yeah it does increase your chances
1480 superscore 1460 for one 1460 for the other, Illinois resident, pretty good essay imo, 4.5 w 3.8 uw ... Idk actually if they're good LMFAOOO I might be cooked
we up tho
ling as in lingustic right?
Yes
got it
we'll see 🤷
how r u all feeling?
o instate
gl
Yea I think it'll help
but i didn't there were so many ppl interested in cs+ling lol
i think there's only one other person applying to it here lol
I think a lot of applicants probably think it's good for going into ai, I hate AI but I'm applying because I love linguistics and cs
seriously
like im applying cs+ling and i feel like every other person here is also applying cs+ling 💀
is their advertising major (not the cs+advertsing) a competitive major?
wsg JJ
bro 💀 everyone is applying cs ling this yr what
do u play LoL
How does cs and ling go together
its like computational linguistics or smthn
I mean one is maths focused another is towards humanities side
how u can use computers to model language/analyze language/authentically replicate it
stuff like that
Ohhh
Got it
whats ur major
I applied cs as first choice and electrical engineering as second
in retrospect should have gone for smth more humble
intl
Hallo @teal palm
Gahh
hi
doom
No second choice major 😭
oh
Yo do we have a time for when they’re coming out tmrw
isnt it mentioned in the email
What email 💀
I’ll be real I made a spam folder for any email that mentions college
everyone got sent an email... the EA applicants
🕯️ 🕯️
ㅤ🕯️ 🕯️
🕯️ UIUC EE. 🕯️
ㅤ🕯️ 🕯️
ㅤㅤㅤ🕯️ 🕯️
hell noo
Mail says 4 pm
Idk if that’s est
I assume cst
Oh
Oh huh
Maybe I should check my email
Oh yeah there it is
4pm
Probably cst, Illinois is CST right?
yeah
Ok
Y'all better get used to cst if u wanna live in it 😭
UIUC PLEASE
cst the best timezone objectively
Scary times
uiuc!
Very confusing with 4 time zones in the country
isn't this..
💀
Objectively the worst one
Bro they’ve sent me like 13000 emails I ain’t reading allat
I’ve been emailed 7 times in the past 3 hours alone
I have 900 unread of their messages
Bro I’m not applying to them all
How
All yall have is corn
And Texas
Who even likes Texas
Bro forgot about Detroit and Chicago 🙏
i thought detroit was est
Detroit 💀
It is
New Orleans tho🤷
New Orleans 💀
r u MIT '29 fr?
Ye
Thx
Cambridge
But I’d be an international
So the price is kinda high
Cambridge for math btw
wht all schools did u get into?
So far NYIT and Cambridge
I didn’t bother with many UK unis because of the price tag of internationals and also I’m an all American boy
are you a us citizen
Yea I’m American
I just did Cambridge cuz my friends told me it considers ECs and Essays less than the American Unis
Yo
If I get into any of the Ivies I’m dropping it
arent UK intl fees somehow still cheaper than usa though 💀 (apart from in state tuition)
Ivy League financial aid 🤤
wITHOUT AID
Yea
fair
50k tuition 10 12k living housing
Its not that bad
if UK's economy wasnt ded rn and considered ecs i'd have applied 💀
i like the usa holistic admission process
arent states like michigan like that also though, except its cuz of the cold winter instead of never ending rain
holy shit cambridge
Na not UK level
😭
NYIT tho 🤑
UK is all grades
and conditional offers
shoot I didn’t realize I’ve got 3 coming out tmrw
yea ik, one of the reasons i didnt apply
6
u hv mit bro ur chilling
I know but I still want it
For my ego
my grades r mid, ecs n essays r where i have any sort of profile
Right Hawaii and Alaska
ur also waiting for uiuc?
Fr it just feels nice
yep, but tbh idt i'll get accepted lol (or go if i get accepted, tuition is insane)
rlly hoping for the buckeye scholarship (osu), otherwise deciding between purdue and uab (and maybe minnesota if i'm accepted with scholarship)
gave up on usc and umich lol
deferred?
yea but i applied rd, only reason why i have doubts on the scholarship front
yep
what r your 2 acceptances?
nice!
It was 35% last yr
But that was OOS to be fair
did u get a scholarship to umn?
where is data for last year avaikable
i only saw the excel foia for 2023 or 22
Wait I forgot 2023 wasn’t last year☠️
Alr 2 years ago
Basically the same thing
bro
that was 2022-23
3 YEARS ago
Nah I think it was fall 2023 admissions
We’re doing fall 2025
So two
Well
i mean
24% 2 years ago
im guessing its 20 now
Right?
at this pace noone will get in in 2045
It was 35% two years ago lmao not 24%
Well for OOS dunno for intl
Smth like that
what major bro
for my specific major it was 24% 2 years ago
CE go back and look
Engineering mechanics
Gotcha
Let
Me
In
LET ME INNNNN
I have connections there and will tell them to physically force the AOs to let me in
How competitive is LAS?
Cause Chicago clears 🙏
Hallo killah
i didnt either
cs or bust
i aint taking two flights to get to school if it isnt for a top and reputed program
(i didnt put straight cs i put cs+ggis so cs+x in the LAS)
like 3 for me bruh
Bro EE to CE is apparently very easy to transfer
Should’ve done EE second major
Actually wait
It might be the other way around
Why are there already so many posts on the UIUC Class of 2029 Instagram account?😭
the corn fields call out to me
IKR LMAO
Is it 4pm EST tmrw?
No actually
And there are so many that are like "I'm not 100% committed"
Like girl, you're not even 100% accepted 😭😭
Yeah like chill out…wait till they are out
Most of them are instate tho
Maybe that’s where the confidence is coming from
Oh yeah, that's probably it
Mango dm me
GL GUYS!
same
😭
lowk i feel like if i did i wouldnt have gotten in for cs😭🙏
u got in w straight cs?
damn
ye i lowk have no idea how
what is the general consensus on cs+x folk among grainger cs people
and im from cali🤣
its the same
dw abt it
u can transfer into something like cs stats
and even if not u do like the same stuff as grainger cs
this is absolutely wild coming from the person who would spam prayer circles and scream in all caps about uiuc
and everyone looks at it the same
alr
u got this
thanks g
well yes i had an awakening dawg
i js realized life is short
why am i obsessed w college anyways
lmao real
happens every few weeks
end up at a super safety ong
dw i'll be obsessed maybee again
but
idc
i will be happy wherever
turns out i only have a few more months of childhood left sadd
so i figure i'd enjou it
Same bro
I got mich and purdue
Why am I suddenly nervous about UIUC georgia tech and UMD
Bro you got mich oos
I hope that there aren’t any more pure CS major applicants this year
Because everyone went CS+X
There's still a lot of CS people lol
Yeah but the number may remain similar to last year
CS+X has existed for quite a few cycles
My USAMO 3x friend applied straight CS
Don't expect any major changes
Only the super comp people apply straight CS
Straight CS seems boring af I'm ngl
I’m just coping hoping it doesn’t get actively worse
Even if I could choose to switch to CS, I wouldn't
How hard is it to get into UIUC for business?
Like genuinely 2020 people thought they had it bad and then you look and for most schools acceptance rates are like double rn
He might’ve applied cs+math
i did CS+BioE
You want to do like meteorological modelling or smth?
Ah that's cool
I've done some research in that actually
In a weird way, that actually made me want to pursue computational bio
