Oh hell no
It was 73k total last year
Assuming Illinois is homogenous
Between RD and EA
Then I won't like UIUC
@tender nymph UIUC gets less applicants than purdue
oh really, wow did not expect that
i wouldโve expected uiuc to get more apps than purdue
purdue is like 90k total this year
UIUC is prob 80
with 55-60k EA
my guess is 25k accepted, 5k defer, 30k rejected
yeah and it went up from like 65 to 73 last year
so id assume 80-83k max
does defer favor instate?
a lot bigger
hopefully cs im in state
prob
well
67% of UIUC acceptances are in state
33% are OOS and Intl
so
isnโt it more like 56-57% now
oh when I went to a visit i think they said 64-67 ish
they should make it higher for il
whats the difference
its prob gonna be 900 - 1100 in state deferral acceptances, 300 - 500 OOS and 300 - 500 Intl
isnt intl same price as oos??
or similar
I mean its like pretty similar price wise
we'll all find out on Feb 28th good luck to yall
too long
were you also deferred?
@lone ginkgo
Yeah OOS deferred tho
say ong
ong
dang
also
iโve been meaning to ask
why do people apply pure cs to uiuc
instead of cs + x
cuz its more "prestigous" and housed fully in grainger
they ball
but same opportunities
๐
like on paper you will
but you need to split your time between X and the CS major
as opposed to dedicating all on the CS side
hell yeah
not sure man the difference in median salary is like 10k between cs + math and pure cs which i think can be explained by cs+math people doing more academia/research
after college
median salary is bullshit
but i cud just be coping as well
porque
ONE HUNDRED MILLION
dang
i mean
tbh
i wanted a math major anyways
so iโm not bummed
but this is more imposter syndrome
u got in for matH/
cs+math is basically cs
why would you get imposter syndrome from that its still impressive
yeah
because math is easier to get into and stuff
thats a dumb mindset no offense
who cares how easy it is to get into
its not easy at all first off
B. ratings are stupid
yea thatโs true
youre still going to UIUC for a CS degree, regardless of if its pure or cs + crop science
itโs chill i canโt go to uiuc anyways
crop science?
cs + crop science is fire ngl
imma swap lowk
is he tryna go into agriengineering
shoulda done finance in agribusiness
guys when does the acceptance package comeee
please uiuc
๐
i need an official letter
how do you know?
they say 1500-2000 people (overall) get in
and deferral rate seems low
i manage to always walk in on a convo here
oh okayy
wtf
bro i want my STICKERSSS
i heard gies gets a free shirt
idk
#1135697044351225876 message
do we believe this
i found on reddit too
i heard gies gave a laptop case
petition for the ischool to give free shirts
source ๐
real
some yt vid
i think so yeah
ok real
fuck you (congratulations thats crazy)
that's fucking wild lmfao
grainger gives out tshirts
but only after school starts
but they don't verify anything you just take one
it has your major written on it
Ah yes, I was wearing that an hour ago.
Every school does actually
I got an LAS one
hey guys
does anyone know what NOA letter is?
has anyone gotten anything for it yet??
No
I think its just the letter saying u got admitted
Yeah it's just the admission letter. It's mentioned below in the portal that it'll be available in a week
Hii can i dm any of the accepted people please๐ญ
sup
is it possible to double degree/major in CS + BioE & Math? i would start UIUC w around 90 credits or so maybe a lil more, between DE & APs but mostly DE classes related to my major
good evening
Any uiuc ee student here?
Sure
Hola
good day
Yea thereโs one whoโs user is EE @ UIUC
But idt theyโre online rn
Oh
Welp
Okay thank you!
sure!
Hello.
My major is still technically EE so I could help.
Ah yeah I was talking to you couple of days ago
I want to know what ece courses you have taken till now
Itโs a rough estimate but most people take Electronics in the first semester and Computing in the next.
Do you know if switching to computer engineering from electrical is viable? A lot of people have said itโs easy but also few said Iโll have to maintain very high grades, which is gonna be tough
Notice Of Admission
Possible yes
But tough
is switching from engineering undeclared to Electrical engineering doable ?
60% of EU applies to EE lmao
do they get it doe
Thats the only thing stopping me from committing lmao cuz idk if ill be able to switch to EE
Ive gotten into uwmadison EE thats why its tough
Same lmao
good to hear
imma ask some seniors frm my school n my counsellor lets see
W lmao
sigmibidi
yo this is literally the biggest college megathread
uiuc is a great school
god didnt want me to go there
thats all
i have no enemies
its calm
lets go
HELPP my teacher started telling every1 i. got in ๐
bro
cus i told my retired spanish teacher who went 2 uiuc
๐ญ
x_x
bro got mad well jokingly bc i didnt tell him
BUT HELLO u dont need to announce to the class
bro god u got rej uiuc but into usc
๐ญ
u chillin trust
true but i lowk needa know why i got rejected
also i might not go to usc
so we'll see
Gimme USC and I'll give you uiuc
nahhhh
ill give you uiuc for free bro
oh please my good sir
tempting. you got scholarship or nah?
well im in state
๐ค
so it'll be cheap asf lol
cus i qualify for il commitment
ok bet we can switch then
uhm for business 100%
usc mogs uiuc for business
prove me wrong
Cost differential would be wild for in-state UIUC compared to out of state USC.
ok i mean yea but if u dont care about the cost
then usc >>>> uiuc
I suppose so, but that's a gigantic difference.
Isn't that like a difference of 50 grand?
I'd use the saved up 200 to start a business.
oos USC? isn't USC a private?
That is true, I stand corrected.
Bro uiuc just called me and I declined ๐ญ ๐ญ
Guess I gotta hope they can call me tmrw
Wait what?
bro how do i tell Uiuc iill pay gull tuiition so fast
ong
gies lowk mid (sorry)
like
i dont wanna go to a big 4
๐
i will go happilyy ugh
i js dont wnana be a fucking accoyntant in chicago
ok real
ong
Why not?
You'd rather be an accountant in LA?
i dont wanna be an accoyntant at all dawg
i heard every1 js goes to big 4
i dont wanna do taht..
tbh i dont think ur forced to ๐น
i js dont wanna go to a school where thats what every1 does
anyways marshall clears
๐
pls usc
wait anna what were ur stats and wha tmajor
i did gies ๐
and why do u want my ststa sjnwsjnswq
Cause they think ur stats will get them in
bcus i want to cope with if i c an get in or not
what dies
ong
Someone elses stats doesnt mean shi
whats gies
bro
exactly
Business school
ik i just want cope
my stats wont help u dawg
ah
U wanna go to uiuc but u dont know schools
ong
๐คจ
bro what?
ok gimme ur stats moo
i just asked a question abt stats
cus u wanna cope or smth
๐
Theres more effective ways to cope
yeah ill get in rd 
what did u apply as
๐
physics
cooked
thats y i asked major too
gender studies
w
Yes
IS UIUC Gies better than kelley?
Depending on whether the person who picks up the phone is in a good mood or not
Theyโll tell u
i think it depends on the specific field you r going into
I did and then they called me back but I accidentally hung up ๐
quant finance/ib?
quant id go uiuc
ib id go kelley
but
at the end they r both good
enoguh
reallly? i assume most cs majors just puyt physics as their second choice, and go witht that
I haven't heard many CS majors put Physics as their second.
Physics has a comparatively higher acceptance rate compared to the rest of Grainger.
hmm alirght
wait howd u know u got accepted then
what the sigma
or did they just not tell you about the portal
Idk they js emailed me
I'm assuming you already know your decision.
whats the email
just got my deferral email ๐ I already knew but thanks
did anyone get into ee
yes ๐ค
how are you going to pick between your 53+ accceptances 
trust
๐
53 is crazy how do you apply to that many schools
TRUST
whatโs your top choice of where youโve been accepted to
hes gonna respond w trust watch
i'll give uhmmnate uiuc asap if i get in somewhere else ๐
i need to withdraw like
lehigh

...
What's wrong with this state?

I left the east coast for a reason.
real
i want to leave the midwest for a reason
i'd be fine northwestern lol
bc chicago close
DID U FR GO FROM EAST COAST TO ILLINOIS
insane
no entiendo
I live 15 minutes west of DC.
crazy
i dont like the town
true
HELL no
The best weather is definitely on the west coast.
There's something nice about being where I am, however.
I don't like cities at all.
At least not living inside one.
i dont like west coast weather
idk why i applied
luckily my parents wont let me go socal no more cus fires ๐
so there we go
really
frankie picky
i love a good city
altho i dont mind a rural asf lac
fw those heavy
real
The fires don't happen near most populated areas, at least big enough to host a major university.
can someone name me one important thing that came outta illinois
The theory of superconductivity.
fair enough
thats rtue
abraham lincoln
they dont know that
tbh i did claremont mckenna
which is far ehh
but they also dont want me moving out west
they complain ab the hcol
and want me to live in st louis

ok wait does this mean acceptance package is coming soon
letsgoo
hopefully by end of wk
๐
i need those stickers
yes i drool over it
would like to shake the hand of whoever advocated for me

ya
it is loll
idk
bro they jumping around from u need t10 --> wont get anywhere

i am
switching to CompE from EE is easy
what about physics to ee or ce or cs
CompE and EE are in the same department so it's easy
physics to EE or CE is hard but it's doable
you can't transfer to grainger CS anymore
YESSIR
we're so back
(cope)
what does it look like
im built different
i got a new acc letter just for me
blue :(
send a ss
looks like what u got
:D
jk
idk
im too lazy to pull it up
they could work on the color scheme ngl
blue and orange is... eh

looks like shit
holy hell gl
abs not, its one of the best color schemes
like even if i didnt go to purdue
no
black and gold is niiiice
really
the saints have it too
and it looks rly nice
thats just a traffic cone
i dont like midwestern school merch
disgusting
i would get this
looks a lot better than most college colors
$75 tho
really
like princeton is the only one i can think of whose color scheme is better
black and orange is so nice
WHAT
Thatโs nice
u must LOVE the UCs color scheme
Have your ece courses involved a lot of physics until now?
like a third of EEs i knew freshmen year transferred lol
so generic
i dont like yellow
this is straight up sad
im going on the RF path, so for me yes.
If your are a CompE you dont need any physics apart from the required phys 21X sequence
Ooo thatโs good because I hate physics.
Ngl Iโm mostly looking to become an swe. Is it a viable option for a ce major?
get phys 211 and 212 out of the way if you are taking ap physics C
Oo sadly I canโt take physics c now the deadline is past
yes I would say around half of CompEs go into SWE
however if you dont like hardware the major is going to be a pain
ece 385, 391 and 411 are no joke
So what does the hardware part mainly consist of?
Is it wires and circuits?
Or are you making bigger things
nerd
Nah you canโt say that you applied to 90 colleges
ece 120, 385 and 411 are logic design courses
ece 220 and 391 are about computer systems and assembly
NERDDD
๐
so so so sigma
Ok. And Iโm also scared of the projects Iโll have to do with each class. Tests are manageable. I have no practical experience with electronics though. What projects have you done until now?
nerd ^4 using grammar what the f
Looks like someone's brought up quant again!
I think itโd be better if you analyzed some grass instead.
Looks like someone brought up computer science again. Why don't you compute the shortest optimal path to a shower?
there we go
nerds^555
The 100k out of college isnt too bad
๐ค
If you don't have any experience with electronics, that's fine they will (mostly) teach you.
In ECE 110, you do a basic electronics project.
In ECE 210, you create an AM Receiver.
In ECE 453, I developed an FM Transceiver and FM Receiver.
Ok thatโs assuring
this is like nerd of the nerds of the nerdiest
Cool, Iโm a bit less afraid of ee now
Still leaning towards cs in Umd/purdue
Thereโs lotta horror stories about ee
ok and
I recommend joining clubs if you want to get more hands on experience.
ur worrying even tho ur not in college is wild
If you are scared about EE, CompEs only take 3 EE courses in total.
Iโm gonna spend 4 years studying something. Itโs better if I like it
Ooo nice
Oh yeah why didnโt I think of that
Switching my first choice major asap
๐
I did see it yeah.
Honestly if you have the time it wont hurt to experience what life is like as a UIUC student.
lame
right
u can have my pack
as long as u give me ur address, ssn, and dob
vrks omg
help im sorry i miss the old name
๐
it seems kinda empty
hell nah im not putting stickers on my laptop of a school that thought i was not intellectually sufficient enough for their institution
@mint marsh Did you get into anywhere else other than this school?
no dawg still waiting on my 23 rd decisions
i may withdraw lehigh
js for whoever actually wanna attend
๐
but rest r all reaches
๐
23 regular decisions. Impressive.
yes frankie tryna go east coast
i only ea illinois schools
๐
for yhe confidence boost
23 rd ๐ญ
i get purdue and gerogia tech mixedup
how
thats an insult to gtech
colors too similar
๐
ehhh
nahhh cmon
yeah i can see the color similarity
but the logos are so diff
it literally says GT
Thatโs crazy
yeah but i think colors for schools like yk
like when someone says purdue i dont think the P i htink gold
texas institute of technology
TIT
๐ฅ
thats evil
just a friendly reminder from the A2C moderation team to be mindful of your words and avoid stereotypes, as we strive to create an inclusive space where everyone feels respected and welcome!
please censor a2c
its triggering for people like me
*2c would work
or a*c
im going to take over every college maxxing server there is
all you little EC maxxers and college maxxers
gtp
brace yourself for the likes of me
dw im not in this gang i got rejected from uiuc ๐ฅ ๐ฅ i might end up committing to rutgers
gtech - 1885, purdue - 1869
glad you came to your senses
Beo what
u arent even a mod
๐ญ
also him 5 msgs later
i can smell the comp sci from here
just a friendly reminder from the A2C moderation team to be mindful of your words and avoid stereotypes, as we strive to create an inclusive space where everyone feels respected and welcome!
is the college maxxing cult coming after me
please stop i dont have any highschool internships for you guys pleaseee
you're free to leave ๐
what about internships for college students
PLEAAAASEEEE
๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
๐
nah
@hardy geyser purdue fye or uiuc undec ๐ญ
ans would be lil biased?
dont you think?
no ๐
im assuming the modship does counteract the bias
purdue fs
nah im kidding
ngl, i dont know ur full situation and stuff
do you guys Extra-cirricular maxx
no i neeeeeed those internships
do u have any
check ur pockets pls
transfer to uiuc and you'll find internships
can we get the whole nerd maxxing cycle down
first its extra-cirricular maxxing and college maxxing
then its internship maxxing
then its job maxxing
why'd you wanna take it down
then its child maxxing and getting your kid into the top school
when you can just leave it?
then its retirement maxxing
child maxxing๐
same reason why we brought dictatorships down
nah i got one thru purdue, im just messing around
how would it be after you take it down?
all colleges are equal
all students are equal
and given equal oppurtunity
all jobs are equal
i support equality
so those who are lazy still have the same colleges as the grinders?
LMAO
thats life
that would bring competitiveness to a standstill
if you wanted chill you should've savored elemenary school more
thats the objective
focus your efforts on something more productive
whats the point of living then?
bro described communism
ppl would be depressed af
this is gonna go to politics real soon
thats not what communism is..
letting the college maxxers take over and next thing you know were living under the soviet union
best
exactly!
the bait works its just on cool down
ill come back very soon once the next college comes out
lmao
i mean you can gift the person that got you in (me)
New response just dropped
fr
erm
uiuc engineering is pretty good so far
uva no clue
uva campus more pretty and has better weather
u can prob get to the samr places from uva engineering
demographics prolly pretty different
uiuc leans asian
uva all white
not all white bu
mostly white
uva def more pretentious
it feels like a public rich kid school
isnt their in state cost over 50k as well
53k instate is insnaity
uiuc is very diverse intellectually in the sense that there are people who are into whatever you are
oos is 96k โ ๏ธ
BRO WHAT
idaho?
illinois
idaho also
the question is what u want in your education and student life
and also where u get in rd lol
i got into uiuc engineering
im wondering if theres any point thinking about a lot of my rd schools
what are they
like theres no way im choosing nyu even if i get in
No comparison
no like
fair
there is a point to be made that like
nyu is in a far better location
That's not even close.
and you probably get the same jobs
uiuc better right
UVA isn't anywhere close. I applied anyway because I'm from Virginia, but got rejected anyway.
.
ur classes at nyu will be smaller
and they also have great processirs
yeah but tandons lowk ass bruh
theyre in brooklyn
quite far away from the main nyu "campus"
chill on tandon
my grandpa graduated from there in the 60s when they were still called brooklyn tech
Thats wild
brook tech is funny
lowkey tho the rankings are crazy
i love this place but is it better than cmu or princeton engineering
would any professor rather work here than there
id choose princeton engineering for a host of other reasons apart from a better engineering education
ru in uiuc?
engineering?
i lowk want to get into finance after college
i might do ICT
to gies
for ds + finance
if i do enroll
t&m is cool
howd yk
people get into bizfrats and still get rejected from gies ict
ik people who do it
its a very secondary option
uiuc is the prob one of the worst colleges to question your major at lol
can i do a different major within my department
although prob most business schools are annoying about it too
?
oh are u engineering mechanics
yes
u prob can switch but PITA
pita?
pain in the ass
lol
no i mean i dont look forward to switching
nah engineering mechanics is really cool tho
im just asking if i could if. i wanted to
Depends on the type of engineering.
princeton orfe on top
Looks like I've begun walking down this route.
I know a friend in this major, it's actually quite underrated.
He did enter the major by mistake, as he submitted his application in the graveyard hours and, while trying to select Mechanical Engineering, checked the wrong box.
๐
no way
i know someone else who did engineering mechanics here
he's at GT now doing his PhD
I heard it's more on the theoretical side.
