[teal palm]

[hybrid wraith]

interesting

[torn plinth]

aint nobody calling them u of i

lmfao

[teal palm]

fr

[hybrid wraith]

yeah fr

why would they move from being called uiuc tbh

everyone (eng ppl) knows uiuc

[teal palm]

ong

[hybrid wraith]

hold up

what are some schools like common people won't know but people in the field / people interested in those schools will know

cause i feel like nobody around me even knows half the schools i applied to

including mit

[tired basin]

Are you me?

[wind ore]

unironically was listening to a song and these lyrics came on when i read ur message LMFAOOO

[tired basin]

Also I heard from all the math majors that math to cs math is really hard

[wind ore]

@teal palm said it was easy so....

💀

[tired basin]

Nah

Just bc it’s las doesn’t mean it’s easy

Look up online people trying to transfer

[iron aspen]

uuiucuicuciccicucuc

[tired basin]

You have to be insane and have a bit of luck

[wind ore]

i know that

i read it

[teal palm]

u just have to declare basically immediately and do well in cs classes

[supple relic]

No

[wind ore]

why this bud say it was 💀

idt it does ngl, cuz on their registrar

[supple relic]

Cause he isn't a uiuc student

[wind ore]

like the tuition calculator

[supple relic]

So he doesn't know

[wind ore]

@teal palm u gon take that?

[wind ore]

cs + x comes as that major, whereas it shows "Mathematics & Computer Science" not CS + Math

[supple relic]

A lot of people do

[teal palm]

brother i am verified

[supple relic]

I call it U of I especially during my internships in chicago

[supple relic]

Then you would know math&cs is not a cs+x major

[wind ore]

😭

[supple relic]

Because it predates the CS+X creation in 2013 and even predates grainger cs

[teal palm]

i cant be half assed to care enough

im pure cs

[supple relic]

Eh all CS are the same

Honestly I don't understand why people apply pure CS anymore

[gleaming crane]

cs = cooked shit

(no offense)

[supple relic]

Yea fr

[teal palm]

fr

[iron aspen]

cs equals glorified math degree

[kind urchin]

real

[cosmic skiff]

6 hours

[supple relic]

At uiuc that's ong fr

[teal palm]

how r u likin uiuc m8?
u in state?

[cosmic skiff]

[supple relic]

Half them classes are math

[supple relic]

International

[teal palm]

oh

[wind ore]

do u think math & cs will be fine to get into 😭

[iron aspen]

ce! ce! ce!

[supple relic]

Its pretty tough I ain't gonna lie

Maybe like 10%?

This year

[wind ore]

for intl

[teal palm]

[wind ore]

he's smoking crap

[wind ore]

no

for cs

[uncut pasture]

oh

idk

[supple relic]

Thats crazy

Its cause most of them see the acc rate of 60%

[boreal locust]

it prob is on the low

[wind ore]

ong bruh she's trolling my app 💔

[supple relic]

And don't know cs is like 1/10th of that

Also our acc rate hasn't been 60% in a long time

It dipped to 40% or smth

In a year

[iron aspen]

oh hell nah

[supple relic]

When common app started allowing uiuc apps

[iron aspen]

this is so cooked

[supple relic]

Back then it wasn't on common ap

[supple relic]

Ya I got a few interviews for it but I got rejected after the finals

[wind ore]

yeah

[floral gull]

it depends on the major but now uiuc is competitive for both business and engineering and cs is well u just need to be super cracked for that

[supple relic]

Small quant in chicago

[uncut pasture]

calm

i think UIUC and Uchicago are the big targets for chicago quant right

[torn plinth]

UIUC PLEEZ

[supple relic]

Oh yea for sure

I didn't even wanna do quant but uiuc converts you

[uncut pasture]

and i heard they have some sort of beef against purdue lol

[wind ore]

💀

[supple relic]

Yea cause Purdue is trash lmao

[wind ore]

thats lowk every top CS school

LMAO

[wind ore]

YESSIR

[supple relic]

Lmao probably

[uncut pasture]

[supple relic]

I might have google interview coming up

Soon

[uncut pasture]

WW

[teal palm]

[supple relic]

Tbh any cs is fine loll

[latent lotus]

Youre just farming aura atp

[supple relic]

Just gotta get good 😎

[uncut pasture]

i rly like my EE class so i kinda regret not applying compE 😭

[supple relic]

Prolly not

Oh if u like ee do it

If ur doing it for job prolly not worth the extra pain

[uncut pasture]

[uncut pasture]

ops research + fin eng

im convinced ops research is fake

[supple relic]

💀

[teal palm]

wasnt it just as bad
ppl are still living in lounges

[floral gull]

wait rlly? cuz uiuc had 9k but like purdue had 11k

unless

purdue has more dorms

[supple relic]

Purdue is a whole nother hell

Don't let yall grades dip yall if uiuc overadmits they will not hesitate to rescind you

[teal palm]

fr they did to some extent last yr

there was full on panic on the subreddit

[supple relic]

Yep I remember that 💀

[floral gull]

wait what if we opt for off campus housing...does that help?

[supple relic]

There's private housing just more expensive

[tired basin]

what grades?

[supple relic]

And you needa book those like in May or they get sold out

[supple relic]

High school grades

[teal palm]

idt theyll make the same mistake this yr
u prob chilling

[floral gull]

not if I room with someone

[supple relic]

Like second sem

[supple relic]

Still kinda more expensive

[tired basin]

like what? a couple bs?

[supple relic]

Also full of rich intl students

[supple relic]

Bs might be fine

Just keep it consistent

As previous years

Don't give them a reason to rescind

[floral gull]

I want them to make the same mistake again bro...higher acceptance rate😭 🙏

[uncut pasture]

all the rescind posts ive seen were people with Cs

[floral gull]

I am down bad

[supple relic]

I don't think they'll do the same again

The uni suffered a lot from enrollment issues

At least for the sake of the school they shouldn't overadmit

[floral gull]

nooo😔 maybe next year they can do it not now😟

[uncut pasture]

just like

[supple relic]

Bruh classes here alr like 2000 students

[uncut pasture]

aim for an 85 or something in all your classes

[supple relic]

More students would be killer

[uncut pasture]

actually aim for a 90

[twilit tiger]

Hiii

Long time, no see 🫡

[floral gull]

wait how do they fit in all the kids

[supple relic]

Sup

[supple relic]

They make classes online

[twilit tiger]

How have you been??

[supple relic]

Been alr

Just tired

Hbu?

[brazen sparrow]

what time do the decisions release usually

[supple relic]

4pm?

[brazen sparrow]

alr

[uncut pasture]

4pm cst right?

[teal palm]

eya

[gleaming crane]

ye

[uncut pasture]

my physics teacher is from illinois

so

ill open the decision in his class

[teal palm]

uiuc or illinois in general

[gleaming crane]

imagine being from illinois 😔💔

[supple relic]

Def before the day ends

[tired basin]

heyyyy

[gleaming crane]

😇

[supple relic]

Before 6pm cat

Cst

[sharp niche]

six hours 🧎‍➡️

[gleaming crane]

oh...

[torn plinth]

what is uiuc yield rate

[tired basin]

check cds

[teal palm]

low apparently

[tired basin]

it has in/oos/intl

[floral gull]

the class of 2029 insta already has so many posts😭

[teal palm]

IKR

makes no sense

[floral gull]

like the confidence

[supple relic]

Thats actually pretty good yiked

[tired basin]

"im not fully committed" shut up you're not even admitted

[supple relic]

Yield

30%

[teal palm]

rly

does uchicago have like 80

[supple relic]

There's like 8000 freshmen so I guess they admit 24000 people

[floral gull]

LITERALLYYY, I AM NOT 100% COMMITTED BUT ITS MY TOP CHOICE

[torn plinth]

i cant find the oos/intl specific one

[kind urchin]

wtf does i'm not 100% committed mean

you ain't in yet 😭

[teal palm]

LMAO FR

[torn plinth]

oh wait

so

[floral gull]

wait uiuc is a pwi right?

[teal palm]

pwi?

[floral gull]

predominately white institution

[teal palm]

nah

[floral gull]

ohh cool

[torn plinth]

so there's

833 indian intls

thats about 210 indian intls

their yield rate for intls is about 20%

meaning

they admit about 1000 indians a year

[tired basin]

why?

it should reflect the us population

imo

[teal palm]

LMAO

[floral gull]

wait being a women gives u an advantage?

🥲

[teal palm]

they prob admit 210 ish, 70 commit iirc

[torn plinth]

No

theres 833 indians enrolled in bachelors

[teal palm]

ohh enrolled

[torn plinth]

so 210 commit a year

[tired basin]

sort of

[torn plinth]

using intl student commit trends

thats

[teal palm]

wait not all indians are intl
or is the stat for intl

[torn plinth]

a fifth commit

so about 1000

[floral gull]

I noticed a lot of them dont do their research and expect scholarships or financial aid...like the intls

[torn plinth]

Specifically indian intls

[teal palm]

ic

[floral gull]

u will be surprised by how many are like that

[teal palm]

fr

[tired basin]

there's two reasons the female acceptance rate is higher: a. they want more women, and b. the women who apply are usually more qualified.

[kind urchin]

is this all first year?

[torn plinth]

Yes

833 enrolled

thats 210 per year

[teal palm]

so they admit around 1k

[torn plinth]

yep

[teal palm]

how amny apply

[torn plinth]

16k intls

no clue how many indians

[teal palm]

shit

[torn plinth]

if it follows same 34% admit rate

im guessing

4000 intls apply from india

a fourth of intl applicants are indian?

i mean doesnt seem too impossible

[teal palm]

no yea that seems right

[torn plinth]

china has 2600

bachelors students

enrolled

thats about 650 per year

meaning 3300 chinese get admitted

[floral gull]

wait there is data for that lemme see

[torn plinth]

im calculaitng it in front of you

[torn plinth]

meaning 10k something chinese apply

10k + 4k

14k are chinese and indian

[tired basin]

wow

[teal palm]

hi calculaitng it in front of you
im UofI

[torn plinth]

just 2k for the rest

that maeks no sense

[floral gull]

huh

[torn plinth]

what happened

[kind urchin]

uiuc releases about 30 mins earlier right?

[torn plinth]

What

Why would they

[kind urchin]

they released it 30 min earlier last year

at 3 am

[torn plinth]

shi...

proof

[willow drum]

4:30est

[floral gull]

oh

I hear they either accept u or flat out reject u

they dont play the deferral game much

[willow drum]

Last year's results: #1135697044351225876 message

[torn plinth]

ok it came out at 3

dang..

[floral gull]

oh I was right

[torn plinth]

a2c ar for uiuc is 54%

[floral gull]

is it cuz all the cracked ppl flock here

[willow drum]

Is probably cause their overall acceptance rate is like 40%

[torn plinth]

Noone applies to uiuc except for cs/biz/engg

[floral gull]

this year it will be like 30%

[torn plinth]

which is all super difficult

and well below 40%

[visual heron]

UIUC

[torn plinth]

MANGO

HOWWE FEELING

[floral gull]

grainger 💀

[torn plinth]

Why izit so difficult

[floral gull]

wait is uiuc t10 for engineering

[torn plinth]

yes

its 9th

[twilit tiger]

Super busy, lol

[floral gull]

then the competition makes sense

[twilit tiger]

But I’m excited for spring semester to start 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[tired basin]

It hasn’t?

[iron aspen]

does antone have apicture of last years poll

wtf

[kind urchin]

67A seems good tbh

[subtle venture]

If we get in do we need to update srar with s/t1 grades

[spring cipher]

only one of them is from cs+X and no one from cs

[kind urchin]

💀

[subtle venture]

The hell

[kind urchin]

cooked

[torn plinth]

wb engineering

[spring cipher]

(I could be wrong but not by much)

[spring cipher]

didnt check

[torn plinth]

where did you get to know about cs from

[spring cipher]

i saw the chats of last year

[latent lotus]

at least were not as cooked as pure cs

[spring cipher]

no one said they got into pure cs

[spring cipher]

yeah

[latent lotus]

💀

[torn plinth]

Yea it be like that junior year

[supple relic]

Oh yall haven't started?

[tired basin]

5 hours…

[supple relic]

Yes

A transcript will be sent

[supple relic]

Cause most cs math majors like using discord

Based on observation

[supple relic]

Tbf it's pretty close now

Mainly the acc rate is higher cause less people apply but the standards are basically up there with grainger cs

[spring cipher]

ive seen only 4 so far

on this server

[west tide]

My bf is cs biology

and my other friend that applied is cs bio

[supple relic]

Cs + bioengineering you mean

[west tide]

And another friend i think english

[supple relic]

There is no cs + biology

[west tide]

Oh ya

[west tide]

quanttttt

👅👅

[novel trout]

5 EST today right?

Ugh in the middle of my math class

Annoying

[floral gull]

LOL uiuc has a huge quant scene right

[gleaming crane]

PST skill issue

[novel trout]

At least we only have to wait until 2 🤷‍♀️

y'all have to wait until 5 lol

[gleaming crane]

...

fair point

[novel trout]

:p

[wanton bough]

lol i opened mine during physics

in 5th period

it was so hype

i was not expecting anything so i just opened it

💀

[novel trout]

Nah cause I know I'm gonna get rejected so I don't wanna cry in front of everyone 😭

And my math class is more serious

if it were engineering or something I would've opened it

[wanton bough]

What major

You'll get in dwdw

[novel trout]

Info sci 😭

[supple relic]

Just got an email about uiuc admissions lol

School sent an email

[novel trout]

so far I have a 100% acceptance streak (after my duke rejection, minus my umich deferral) and I don't want to break it

[supple relic]

Info sci is p easy to get in

It's like 60%

Ur chill

[novel trout]

Isn't it like 30% lol

oh wait you're right

I think 30% is udub x_x

[supple relic]

https://www.admissions.illinois.edu/apply/freshman/admit-rate

[novel trout]

55.2 so I guess maybe closer to 30-40 for oos

[supple relic]

Probably same ish tho

Info sci traditionally isn't a hard major to get in

Used to be 80% accrate

[uncut pasture]

tbh evb i talked to in infosci either hated it or were more arts type people

[static kindle]

i also have a 100% acceptance streak if you ignore the places that didnt accept me 🤓

[novel trout]

Yeah I want to do design lol

[novel trout]

yes exactly 100% streak!!!

[uncut pasture]

infosci is bad if ur trying to do CS

infosci is good if ur trying to do web design etc

[supple relic]

Yea info sci is not cs

[novel trout]

which is what I want to do

[supple relic]

There's like 15000 posts on the reddit abt it

https://www.reddit.com/r/UIUC/s/Yb73ZVHskK

And this one just dropped today

[novel trout]

ookayyyy that kinda sucks

I mean I have unc lol

So I'm happy with that

So I probably won't go to uiuc tbh

I just really want gt today though

Cause that's a school I might consider going to

[supple relic]

Lol

[hardy geyser]

[supple relic]

LMAO I REMMEBER THIS

Bruh i was tweaking i thought it might be over

Had Michigan 22 flashbacks

[rapid tangle]

LOL

[teal palm]

i was in the front of the student section it was insane

[supple relic]

Lmao I forgot to buy tickets cause I hella busy last sem

But i was refreshing google

[teal palm]

you could buy football any time?

i bought em late

[supple relic]

On Saturday morn?

I tried buying mich tickets that week sold out

[teal palm]

oh i thought u were talking abt student tickets

[supple relic]

But that's cause everyone and their mom and down from mich

[supple relic]

Yea I mean student tickets

[teal palm]

no like the student season pass

[supple relic]

Oh yea didn't

My schedule was super fucked last sem

So i wouldn't have been able to make most games

[sharp dragon]

RAHHHHH LET ME INTO GRANGIER CS

[teal palm]

3 hrs

[sharp dragon]

I'm coping by hoping that so many people applied CS+X that the actual CS program had fewer applicants

I've not seen another pure CS major in here so far I believe

[supple relic]

Its usually 50/50

[sharp dragon]

yeah but I think there could potentially be fewer CS applicants just because the acceptance rate is so damn low compared to CS+X and they literally herd people into CS+X

if there is an increase I don't imagine it'll be too great

like pure CS

[supple relic]

I feel like many people don't know cs + x

So we'll never know

[sharp dragon]

I think they tell you in the application itself to apply CS + X

[supple relic]

Why not apply cs + x?

[supple relic]

Huh that must be new

[teal palm]

rly? yooo

[sharp dragon]

I would have done CS + Meteorology but they unfortunately don't have that

[supple relic]

CS + GGIS is a close second

[humble goblet]

YALL

WE BETTER GET IN

[sharp dragon]

close second to what

[humble goblet]

@visual heron @quiet salmon @mint marsh WE INNNN

[supple relic]

Meteorology

[sharp dragon]

yeah but I don't really have many ECs for GGIS but I am interested in it

[supple relic]

Fair

[sharp dragon]

Like honestly pure CS + minor in met might be good

[supple relic]

I think the school is trying hard to push cs + x

They really want the program to succeed

[humble goblet]

they should

let me into

[supple relic]

But also yea pure cs is a skill that will get more redundant as AI gets better

[humble goblet]

cs + stats

[supple relic]

Lmao

Did you apply to that?

[humble goblet]

yes

please let me in

[supple relic]

Lol well good luck

[teal palm]

[latent lotus]

tysm we will need it😭

[odd trail]

When I apply I'm going for media and cinema studies 🥲

[humble goblet]

[gleaming crane]

Boy oh boy, where do I even begin? UIUC… honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you stand tall with your grand campus, striking awe into all who walk your paths. Your gorgeous red-brick buildings, the way the Main Quad glows in the autumn sun, and the sheer brilliance of Grainger Library. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I could forever bask in the glory of Alma Mater’s welcoming embrace.

You’ve seen generations pass through your halls, but you never stop growing. You are more than just a university; you are a home, a legacy, a dream. Even beyond your academic excellence, your school spirit is unmatched—when the Marching Illini play and the Orange Krush roars in Assembly Hall, my heart swells with pride. I forever dread and weep, thinking of the day I will one day graduate and leave you behind. I would sacrifice my own future if it meant I could forever walk your hallowed halls.

You have given me so much joy—and yes, a little heartbreak—over the years. I remember the first time I saw your acceptance letter, and it felt like the world had finally aligned in my favor. But oh, the pain of midterms and brutal winters, the sorrow of a missed bus on Green Street—it only makes my love for you stronger. And still, I push forward, because I know the rewards of being part of your legacy. You have seen great minds rise, from Nobel laureates to Silicon Valley pioneers, and yet, you remain humble.

2016 was a great year for us, baby—when the Computer Science program skyrocketed in the rankings and Illinois continued cementing its place as a research powerhouse. And still, you push the limits of what’s possible, making history, breaking barriers, and proving time and time again that you are among the elite. Not only have you changed higher education and the world, but you’ve eternally changed my world.

And now, I see you standing strong, still the greatest, my greatest. I love you, pookie bear, my glorious king—the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

[floral quail]
