they never interviewed me ever but their tests are funny
they make you download roblox
Lwk if I get a Roblox internship
and play some mind games
Iβd be happy
lol fair
Ik someone who got a Roblox internship who goes to ucla
oh my god im scrolling thru the uiuc reddit and its saying the ischool is horrible
like AM I GONNA BE UNEMPLOYED
Why 
yea... thats why I'm encoruaging people to do some research
before they commit
there are certtain paths that the iSchool is good for
Was it bad for you
I DUNNO
so make sure yo uknow what you want
i dont wanna be unemployed π
I did quite a bit of research on my major and decided it was worth it
for my path
what can i realistically do in the future w a information science mahor
which turned out to be true
How was cs & stats for you, Iβm cs & math am I gonna be unemployed
consulting is bug
nahhh
huh
you do have to put in a lot of work
consulting?
Like how dope is cs & math
It would be a dream to work at Roblox in like the early 2010s, that was when it was really popping
like yea consultants
I need to not be unemployed before I commit
business
ew
and also like project managers
NOOOO
UI designers
Iβm still waiting on some schools but
common in he ischool
its prettty heavy
I have a choice to pick between some other schools
and intense
how much of a salary can i get π
but very cool major
I think the avg is 80k
attend IIT
lolll
like after how many years of experience
Thatβs all I care about
80k is def enough tto live in chicago
all those indian mfs gonna salivate over the resume
π
starting
oh fr?
(until they find out its not the IIT they had in mind)
IIT is insane π
cause I dont know many Ischool majors
im not living in chichago
HELL NO
oh ok data analyst
I got converted
i love cali
lol fair
i hate the cold
chicago summers are a whole different vibe tho
my toes freeze π
the city is like in an eternal party
i also cant drive
oo chicago has good transport
fr?

π
but yea most of the inernship opps will be in chicago
i havent worn a jacket in 4 yrs
like even in 50 deg weather
sem2 you only wear jackets
ew NOOO
cause it doesnt get hot till end of may
they dont match the fit doe π
and school ends mid may
ohh icic

but granted I know shi abou fashion
Yo jhao is it ok if I dm you about some questions on uiuc π
but jackets dont match my frame

Gimme that
lmaoo
also speaking of owning a car
oh aight

LOL
like i tried backing up
My condolences but

HELP i saw one w 800 members is that it
it was dead
π
so i left
idk
i didnt get a g ood scroll thru
OOO
In terms of rankings it is. But GTech is known for engineering and their labs are amazing.
damn right
does anyone have the cs+x spreadsheet
not of recent
yeah im just trying to find the old one
i dont have that either π
LMFAO
Do I need to send any additional documents to UIUC before committing to avoid getting rescinded?
guys what's better for mech eng, UIUC or purdue??
atleast it's rlly cheap, use the rest of the money somewhere else and self-study ig
Donβt fail senior year, thatβs it
bet thanks
my finals are in 8 days so senioritis hasnt rlly set in
how are you '28 if ur a senior? isn't it really hard to do cs in 3 years
purdue
also cheaper oos
i'm pretty sure it's uiuc
The Discord one got overrun by the worst of the 28 server.
oh
yea def ππ
petition to make another gc
idk if iβll even end up attending πgetting a bit too involved
β οΈ
bro you really just 180'd from UIUC pls to Georgetown pls

all the damn CS kids trying to infiltrate math
grrrrrr
this is why we cant have nice things
Not the lockheed type stem
why they alr got their 4 yr plan made out
unless its UIUC or purdue
@teal palm how's non engineering/CS math track at UIUC?
stem mfs cant live π
ok bro
ur a business major

theyre scary
okayy i wrote my essay ab politics πΏ
no lmao im gonna pivot to finance
π

PARENTS NOT HAPPY ABOUT STANFORD???
I think my parents would go fucking crazy
right bro
my parents immediately started flexing my UK acceptances π
and that's how some of the people in my school now know
UMM
ok real
i dont have anything to flex type shi
UIUC is a flex
flagship state school is backup? π
i understand ubuffalo or UGA or UAlabama
BUT FUCKING UIUC?!?!!?
As someone from the east coast, Iβd say the east might be less boring but the people are nicer out here.
nyc is so rude
and so chaotic
once I saw some dude on the subway
He was smoking weed and being obnoxious
no dw
it worked out
He put his leg over 3 seats
and I watched a grandma just stand and watch
cus i didnt do undecided or smth
Philly is the worst east coast city, no bias.
really
fuck philly
UI Chicago!
thats true
(i live in an all white town basically)
but i mean
if u go elsewhere it is nicer
in the area
very chill tbh
bro thank GOD i dont have to attend there

uiuc merch kinda ugly..
theyll measure how much gunk has built up on you

I think the best looking colors in terms of state flagships is probably UMich
I withdrew UMich for the boys
ok good
umich's yellow is kinda ugly
oh
pack wtf
ong
cap
this is why I got deferred I shouldve stopped showring
I may be biased
yes you are
@ornate sequoia
nettspendhuzz β Today at 10:59 AM
isnt Grainger insanely well reputed
Lagumists β Today at 11:00 AM
Who gaf ab the numbers
Lagumists β Today at 11:00 AM
Reputed != Prestigious
bro what
π
why r they like this
who knows bro
Grainger is fucking cracked
People need to get their head out of the HYPSM game or whatever the fuck
Depends what major
bro what
actually UCLA CS and engineering solid
THE COST 
ππ
right bruh
me when UCLA and JHU come out the same day
i'd take ucla so hard
hey i havent seen you in a while
it's not bad
LMAO yeah, howβd EA go for you
wait ur OOS applying to UCLA?
but it's no UIUC
yeah, weβre in the same city no? π’
wait I could be wrong but are you the notre dame kid
ik
no
but like you know they straight up dont give money
i hate notre dame
i also hate notre dame
unfortunately π’π’
ok
itβs more less expensive than berekly
The environment of Notre Dame is not it for me
what kinda mr beast do we have here
wait omg did u apply to RPI EA
ugh their aid is mid ngl π’
i canβt guys
iβm going into some serious debt
unless CMU comes in clutch somehow
Well i wiped UCs and UMich cuz of cambridge
U DIDNT DO UMICH??
i withdrew my app
so my friends could have slightly better chances
also i would never go to umich now
yes
TMUA carried
idk what that is but
admisisons test
ππ
for math
ohhh
i got a 8.6
ohhhh so ur a geek geek but either way thatβs AWESOME
hell yeah
i will be taking ur UC chances tho now π
i havent withdrew UCs
who
Hell no
but that was Davis
theyre british
?
itβs too early for this
Can we back out after accepting the offer and paying $150?
Lagumists at it again?
$150 is just a deposit. You can back out.
I see thank you
Very honorable of you. I made sure to pull mine because homeschooling isnβt the biggest community out there.
umm it may be binding
either way, why would you want to pay it now if youβre not wanting to commit
what schools are you waiting on
The $150 is the non refundable part.
you're not gonna take stanford?
valid
UIUC is fantastic especially for CS so not that deep tbh
π
@ornate sequoia What is your career goal?
I deliberately did not apply to Stanford for a similar reason.
The danger was if I got in.
real
Yes, you lose only $150 I think, but ask another student to fact check me.
UIUC will be just fine in that case. Stanford might help your grad school prospects more.
Iβm hoping to go to somewhere like Stanford for physics PhD. Itβs a real possibility.
Become an actual physicist.
Hopefully.
Yep I checked
Youβll have to email or call the admissions department if you want to backout once but itβs not binding
Thereβs also a Reddit page for that
Admitted First-Year FAQ, Undergraduate Admissions, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
I gotchu
Would any current UIUC student OOS feel comfortable telling me how much they pay per year? I am trying to see the base tuition costs without any financial aid/scholarship for me
I think around 55k?
per year
everything included
55k to 65k is a good range id say
with everything, 55k to 60, will probably be closer to 55 next year
that's ~$10k lower than CoA
I'll be at a cheap apartment next year.
we thought it was closer to $63k (for engineering)
It is around that currently, but over 4 years and 3 of them being in an apartment is where i got those numbers.
ic. what's the monthly rent of cheap apt?
The one i signed is around $600, utilities and such included.
wow, that's really good
should i go for UIUC CS or Wisconsin Madison CS
instate to any?
Did you get into both? It won't be particularly close.
i was deferred from WM CS, but i got into math and cs for uiuc
if i get into WM CS, should i go for that over UIUC math&cs, essentially
not considering location
oos for both
if, similar cost, UIUC
ah kk
but I'd consider instate CS
how about ut austin CS vs UIUC CS
not considering your instate CS?
havent heard back from any UCs yet
Just for future reference.
Pretty good post for anyone wanting to do more research about these majors and whether or not they should commit
If I were you, I wouldn't compare UIUC, UW, UTA now. Just wait until all the decisions are out. I bet there are more productive things to do now.
true
Did you visit both schools? I'd take the school which feels most comfortable to you.
UW so I can take your spot π
If you like math, do that because UIUCβs program is ranked higher
If you donβt, donβt make yourself miserable
All great options
i think math is interesting, i just never found the time to really focus on math in high school because there's just so much stuff going on π
i took all the math courses available though and im doing great, so i think ill be fine
uiuc math and cs is kinda insane because the CS course is like identical to CS majors
its like a double major lmao
no wonder people all say its really intense
only thing really pulling me torwards this is the fact that uiuc's program is so, so, so prestigious
Itβs a couple less cs classes and a couple extra math classes
yeah, but almost identical
Not enough to be a double major imo
honestly id like it this way, pure cs is kinda boring π
I feel the same way
uiuc's cs is like only 1 spot under berk
its kinda nuts
T5
yeah
both gt and uiuc full sweep rejected basically everyone who applied engineering or stuff touching CS
both schools are going crazy this year with engineering and cs
i mean i am out of state
but still
Is deferral rare then?
very very rare
Ooh Iβm special
ar eyou oos or in state
Instate
if youre in state it makes more sense if you get a deferral, out of state theyre brutal
ah
Did you get in both?
yeah uiuc and gt both are stingy to oos >:)
Oh
but i dont care because math and cs is kinda what i wanted anyways
i applied to a ton of oos, so im just like weighing between whether i should commit to uiuc if my rds dont change up anything
ucs are weird for not having EAs
LMAOAOAO
Iβm white but my friend groups are plain brown
Thatβs how I speak Telugu and Tamil ππ
The mods are yeah
Do you receive a lot of aid or none at all or?
Do you receive any aid?
Nope.
Is ur cost dependent on ur major? I plan on doing IS + DS
I donβt believe it is. Maybe very slight variances that I donβt know of
So yall
I got rejected
In state
Should I do the pathways program for engineering?
Or move on to another college that wants me?
No aid
depends. was your heart set on uiuc? what other schools have you applied to that are on the top of your list? where have you gotten in? what do you like so much about uiuc? can you find that somewhere else?
none here
Do they take financial aid appeals?
wait i thought you were gonna graduate next year holy
this is my last undergrad sem
im prolly staying here for graad skl tho
Damn nice
How does it feel then
Did you enjoy cu for the past like 4 years or whatever you've been here for
hmm not sure
lol I thought I'd be doing the whole 4 years when I came in
but I spontaneously made the decision to grad a year early
Fr I also thought the same when last semester started. However I don't have any plans per se whether I'd graduate early or take more classes who knows
I haven't done the whole 4 year plan or whatever the engineering kids are doing
LOL fair
Plus the prospect of switching into math+cs
ive had 4 year plans, multiple ones, and none of them ended up being close to what I eventually did
so I wouldn't stick to those closely anyway
but yea things change, ur goals and career change, so yea I decided graduating early is best
I get the change in plans
yea its really hard to say what will happen haha
but its a little funny seeing prefrosh mentioning triple majoring and stuff
when realisically, it won't happen
I still have to see whether i switch to math+cs or whatever
like in theory, it would be possible, but too many things change
yea thats fair
These physics kids are crazy
lmao frr
My friend is double majoring in physics and math possibly
And other one is doing 4 minors
If I'm doing math+cs then I'm doing an econ minor and thats it
Even stat minor sounds stretched
Does anyone know any BioE majors here?
As a physics major, I am not triple or double majoring.
Iβm content to fully milk the grad school track.
Wait I got deferred am I cooked π
OOs
it rly depends on ur and ur family's financial situation
uiuc deferral means a lot more than usc or michigan deferral for instance Β―_(γ)_/Β―
just gl gl :]
idk id be taking private loans cus intl
how abt gt
WAIT FR
ye
OMG OMG
deadass look at the poll
skibidi!
can u see ur fin aid letter yet
or your admissoin letter yet for that matter
like the notice of admit
the pdf letter?
i dont know about any pdf
this thing
oh i cant
Fair, I got deferred both UIUC and Purdue π
Need one of them to clutch up
they havent received my fafsa yet
oh alr
π
really?
how competitive is the cs and math pool this year
Wait I have question
Are you willing to advise on college choice?
chat does this seem reasonable
try asking https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/954425230896545792 as well
Yeah true but I just wanted a quick opinion
yea fs
Between GT CS and UIUC BioE, GT would be more worth right?
imo yeah
I mean price diff is not that much idt
there are a lot of factors though, like what major u like, cost, distance, etc etc
but i personally would pick gtech
but then again my criteria could be far diff from urs
Alright
It's just that they came out the same day
And GT came out second
So I feel like I'm being baised
π
but congrats!!!! theyre both insanely good schools!!
Thank you!
Like for some reason I'm not mentally considering UIUC at all even though I should probably?
Which major?
BioE
Alr
They have said they recieved mine and it says for me its coming out mid march
okok
depends on what major you want to do more
alright thank you
Yeah 5-6k makes sense
I wanna do computational bio but have been applying CS because I can pivot if I change my mind
They donβt defer an insane amount or anything
Like other ppl said, pick rhe major and the price and the community for your pick
Iβd go visit
if purdue received 63k my guess is upwards of 75-80k
If possible
