At least my friend actually enjoys it, so he's not going to transfer.
engineering mechanics is mostly TAM stuff
nice
@crude violet Do most people in Engineering Mechanics go to grad school?
yeah
Engineering Mechanics has very little application, it's mostly theory
you can still get a normal MechE job though, you just gotta take extra courses
Is it basically a more real world-ish version of physics?
yeah
applied statics and dynamics
Since in physics, I'm learning things that don't have much real-world application right now. (What if the speed of light was 300 km/h, and you're traveling on a train going 180 km/h?)
Though it's particularly fascinating to me.
doppler shift is cool
i found it hard ngl
but it's not super hard
put in the work and ur fine
is it possible to switch from MSE to EE
slightly regreting choosing MSE as first major
(and how difficult is it)
hellowwwww
also i found phys 213 to be chill even though a lot of people i know hated it
yes
it's hard though
ah rip
maybe should have applied ee as primary major...
do u know anyone in the MSE department and how is their experience overall tho
especially if you like semi
kinda why i applied mse lol
i can send you the matse server if you want
ECE department announced semiconductor minor you should look into it @swift mica
i was interested in the research field but uhhhh ehehe job prospects and politics
i think its fine for rn, thanks tho!
might hit u up when i get absolutely cooked by the UCs
I might go down this route anyway.
The great news is that we have time to decide.
I think as an international student it is good to attend grad school especially if your subject field requires deep knowledge
also for uiuc students it is a good opportunity because MS here is funded
in the same boat rn haha
got in for matse but rejected from ee
can you send it to me as well
I thought uva was an lac lmao
yes god
Alright should I send you my email or something ๐
even for CS+X folks applying for the MS CS?
That's what they're good at.
My mom went there for commerce school.
bro if I get rejected after waiting another month I'm actually going to crash out
But I have faith ๐๐
They're trying to keep cs+ling small tho so hopefully I seem cooler than everybody else lol
@uncut walrus Are you very interested in linguistics? Just curious.
Are you actually interested in ling or are you an ai bro
DUDE I LOVE LINGUISTICS
I have already stated this ๐๐ I hate ai
I'm very interested in Linguistics!!!
yay!! i mostly talked about my love of the structure of language and how it related to programming so hopefully that shines thru
In my essay i mean
OMG FELLOW LING NERDS UNITEEE
ooo a structuralist i see ๐๐
Yess
ling has always been super interesting for me, but i dont think id have fun studying it as a major
sure
11 kids from my school have already committed here
same, I wrote about how my experience writing a programming language paralled my conlanging hobby
i dont think i mentioned AI LOL
in-state?
LFG
YES
real ate down
me after writing ab illini dems ๐๐ (i applied gies type shi)
ok told my asian parents i got in ๐ and they dgaf they js started asking ab cost
umm
also they're like ok u can relax ab ur other decisons
win is a win..
?!
If you still need it then feel free to DM me! I'll try to help where I can
How much wood can a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck can chuck wood?
1.6 +- 0.2 m^3
hi
Hello.
no
Yes.
maybe
potentially
idk
I live in west coast so itโs a completely different story
Very few people here actually commit
80 applied last year, 33 accepted, 3 commit
Took you this long to tell them? x_x
My parents will have panic attacks if I don't tell them ASAP
that happened for Purdue lol
my parents sit with me to open all my decisions
i feel like mom's more excited about them than i am haha
same lol
good luck
yes ๐
my parents exclusively get to know over text
i kindly am not opening decisions in front of anyone
to the OOS students who got in and are thinking of commiting, are you rich or do you have some plan to manage the cost?
how much is oos
If i get in, fingers crossed
Fafsa, but weโll have to pay up most likely
if i get in, ill be paying full tuition out of pocket most likely
it says online its around 40k oos, which isnt even terrible
Better than Unc
60k
even 60 isnt bad
its more than that i swear
i feel like once it passes 75 its knda OD
If Fafsa comes in clutch then Iโll be paying just a little bit more than in state
Since 40k is starting tuition
i get no fafsa ๐
ye
neither
Rip
For Unc Fafsa managed to cut it down by 13k

dam congrats on that acceptance
Thanks
I havent had a single acceptance yet
But Unc isnโt strong for engineering
ive got my state school, thats all
where are you applying form
Still a very good school tho
from
ye
Twin cities โค๏ธ
cse
yup
๐ฅ
oh are you out of state?
I applied there too for cs
country
UK
ayee same
U of m was the first result I got back
well ngl its gonnna be roughhh
yeah they wa fast for hella ppl
Dude I got my results back in like October or November
yh
The eyre so fast
got mine in like 6 days lol
Yeah ๐
u got a UK safety?
LOL i just got an email from uom
thats good
lmaoao
But I dont wanna go
Im SO set on going to the US its unhealthy
like over the phone
ive never seen such a persistent uni, seems very good
but theyre getting sued rn for kicking a phd student out for allegedly using chatgpt under unsufficient evidence
yeah LOL
yeah they call a lot idek why
like if u want students so badlt then undefer some of my friends dwag
๐
oh yeah I heard of that
If daughter wanted to commit to UIUC, we had college funds to pay. but she wisely chose in-state
wait its lowkey cheap
relatively obviousl
uva, umich, unc, UCs all way mroe
It was the most expensive school I applied to.
did u get into uva
i think we talked about this
canโt remember
I did not get into UVA, though I would have been in-state for it.
ok i see
so frankie why do you love uiuc
iโm tryna do some research
bro i think my parents got too into uiuc
they dgaf ab anything else
๐๐
60 overall.
bro my teachers r the top and iโm the bottom ๐
itโs ok tho
๐ญ๐ญ
Yeah
Garbage
When your name is UIUC:
so @unique axle is garbage
guys when does the acceptance package come
๐ฃ๐ฃ
imma need my free stickers rn
Fax
It's amusing how long you've hung around here, since you don't want to attend at all.
Two weeks
yeah that was smart of her
same
LOL I'm the same way
I lurk in every thread I got into
thatโs bc this is the only acceptance i have ๐๐
so iโll prolly go here idk
unless 1 of 22 reaches clutches up
๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
gets into stanford
okayyy
where do you live state wise btw
cus i live 2 hrs away
wait are you in state for uiuc?
yes
ooh now I understand why you hate on uiuc so much lol
I'm the same way for my state school
help yea ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
I don't want to live so close to home ๐ญ
Won't you have a similar friend group in state?
I'd think going out of state would be scarier.
Looks down at people who go to udub
And there's a person I want to avoid at udub too
Out of state would be easier tbh
That's interesting, I don't think anyone where I live looks down on Virginia Tech or UVA?
I'd much rather take unc/gt over udub
I go to a competitive private lol
Kinda toxic here
Just ignore the haters.
I was homeschooled so that probably affected my thought process to not give a damn.
you live 2 hours from uiuc I live 30 min away or something ๐ญ
okay thatโs crazy
now i would kms
at least uiuc is new
๐ญ
ok but lowk is wwnna go uw
so like
i see it
hating the state schooo
๐
Meet me at the intersection of 6th and Armory at 9:30pm.
๐
bro my teachers then started asking if i was gna commit
oml
god i dont wanna live in illinois
unless itโs northwestern
๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Why the exception for northwestern ๐
good job i guess??
because i am not familiar w the area
iโve only been to chicago twice ๐๐ i enjoy it
bro idk
like is it what u wantsd
Living in Chicago suburbs and never went to Evanston?
i donโt live in the suburb a
๐๐
i donโt live near chicago
when frankie discovers other parts of illinois ๐ฎ
Let's go to O block.
yes see u there!
Did you apply for UChicago?
no i hate that fucking school
LOL what's the chicago hate for
okay to be fair
I don't like their core
LOL
i js dont like the quirky culture yk
the essays turned me offfff
at least columbia essays r normal ๐๐
Ah yes... aren't they thought-provoking?
I just didn't apply cause core
Yes.
And no my major
real
uchicago econ great tho๐๐issok lol
And I'm not about to ED there
NO FR
yea i wouldโve been cooked ๐ญ๐ญ
cus like
test optional i guess cus they donโt even look at any tests that are not good enough for them
no they literally have like a 1% acceptance or less for rd which is actually insane
yea so cooked
yea๐ญ๐ญ
uchicago sucks
go northwestern ๐
when will this school release financial packages
This school releases financial aid packages?
Texas
i just found out that uiuc and purdue are only 1.5 hours away from each other
uchicago lowk tweaking, asking about your wisdom teeth in supplemental essay ๐
LOL
lowk wish I were instate here ๐ญ
fr๐ญ

Nah
UIUC isnโt allat

Too
Purdue>>
"PurduemyDaddy"
where do u see dis
damn thats quick
i got uiuc cs can i get some glaze
you are an above average flight
congrats bro
we are waiting pateintly i hope you get in
does anyone know how hard it is to swtich majors within grainer or grainer to liberal artgggs
in grainger, if you are already in grainger, it depends on which major you want to switch to
ECE / EE / CE are the hardest I think
Grainger to LAS is probably easier
congrats
have fun in 124 lmao
ive heard 124 isn't that bad
yo had a lil ee related question
should i take 205 for fun
ive been on a bit of a roll doing fun classes this semester(havent taken any geneds thus far in my entire freshman year sadly)
im thinking i might study and prof out of 212 and do that
also those mp's id rather not mention
if i wanted to switch to CS from physics
alright, i am praying for that cs+x man
you canโt switch to grainger cs
ce*
ive heard ece 205 isn't that hard
id recommend it
wdym
transferring into grainger CS is not allowed
CE is still allowed
nice
how easy is it to switch between cs+x's?
i was pretty 50/50 between cs ling and cs math when i was applying and im curious about whether its possible to make the switch if i wanted
haven't you been asking this every day ๐
You can have my northeastern stickers xd
BC I NEED THEMM
(i alr have a set)
OMG CONGRATS GOAT
no I got deferred ๐ they just sent everyone stickers
waiting for mine too ๐ค
HELP??
real

so if i apply rd no stickers??
perhabs
tbh
No stickers for you
i think UIUC should just switch from CS+X to a CS-Eng and CS-LSA model like Michigan
I think Michigan has the best admission policy for CS
itโs very rational and hard to game
wtf purdue my daddy
Iโll take them away
No stickers for you
You can only get IUsucks tattooed on your arm
wtf
nah no way
purdue my daddy
i think CS+X is genuinely pretty easy to game and when you get in itโs functionally a CS major and X minor
hi pack :D
You a Stanford admit
how are you
like CS+Ling only has a handful of Ling classes required
the integration is important imo
not just cs separate from ling, but how they relate
idt integration exists in a meaningful way tho
you can just take compling classes
but u donโt even have to take compling classes if u donโt want to
also if u want to integrate with a different field for exampl
bro tomorrow is UT
no fr
ts fryin me

is mccombs or gies better i forgor
Oh
nvm wrong person
because i have become uiuc enthusiast
no i need to do some gaslighting
i wanna be ab illini
yes
bro i been tryna look at the instagram pages
i think i found one appealing person who could make a potential roommate
everyone else rushing elementary education or kinesiology ๐ญ๐ญ
gonna be the death of me
i think
unless idk u wanna go random
but like
there are two guys
๐๐
sooo
u might wanna wait
yeah i think Michigans model is better
itโs more flexible, harder to game, less complicated
u get into engineering or liberal arts
and then you get selected for CS or not
but all CS majors are CS majors
HP
it just depends on if ur in LSA or Eng
which lets u double with different subjects
i found like one good potential rooommate
poli sci major ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
but thatโs it
bro everyone else is a white fuel
girl
๐ญ๐ญ
hs ptsd
i donโt know
in which case u can still do CE or datasci
ok ya
ohh
ok real
AN ESAY?!?!?
๐

Oh

BUT I DONT WANNA INTERVIEWW

i agree

and the consulting clubs r 4% acc rate
๐

๐ญ
Yessss
they only gave me a few stickers, but that was in 2023 they might be sending more now
If you donโt have to, donโt.
I havenโt heard nice things about it unless you are committed to actually learning about circuitry.
Hmm i see
No I just wanna learn new stuff
I'm taking jazz improv this semester for fun as well
Oh yeah, thatโs understandable. Iโm just talking about 205 specifically, since my friend is saying itโs absolute hell a couple weeks in.
Are you a jazz musician as well?
Not really I mean, i play the guitar and i thought it would be fun to learn haha
Yeah gotcha
basketball team is acc so joevered istg
why are we throwing so damn hard
4th unranked b1g loss IN A ROW
btw hi @hardy geyser
Hallo
I saw there r 5 year master programs at UIUC, like for CS students they have an option, is that also an option for the I-school?
only pure CS is eligible for the 5-year BS/MS program. CS, CS+X, CompE, and CS minors are eligible for autoadmission to MCS (professional master's)
so if you do the CS minor
you can get into MCS
(also I-School's master's programs are in Information Management, Library Sciences, and Bioinformatics sooooo)
one million billion
Guys is it worth it for me to go to cc for two years and transfer to cs as UIUC? (itโs guaranteed if I take all the classes since I live in Illinois)
And I save a ton of money plus get a degree at u of I in cs
And also get to do my masters at u of I
Is this a good opportunity?
Are you sure if admission to a given major is guaranteed
It is if you get a B in every class
Or higher
And also your technical gpa has to be a 3.6 or higher
i mean, u gotta give us more info on u for us to give a rec
ur financials, what u wanna do, what ur looking for, whats the alternative, etc etc
try asking https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/954425230896545792
And you canโt use any ap credits to test out of classes
Nah itโs not for finances, I just didnโt get into UIUC so I was wondering if this was a good option for me, Iโm not really comparing any schools because I didnโt get into anywhere good lol
I guess Iโm a good hard worker and Iโm pretty certain I would be able to do the grade requirements for the program
And I do wanna do straight cs at UIUC and this is the only thing that would guarantee it for me if I kept the grades needed and took all the classes you need
You also canโt drop any classes
But other than that everyone who does the program gets their first choice major
I am sure
Iโve researched this program a ton and talked to people
I got deferred
why isnt uiucyourdaddy
They rejected me
oh
Whatโs the link to what youโre talking about
Send it rn wait
Finances arenโt a problem as long as college is less than 45k per year
But i want to go to a college with good opportunities and ranked fairly high for what i wanna do (cs or compE)
are you in state
Yes
Yes
Np thanks
Oh so you need to apply and be accepted into that I see
Get into the program is easy
But doing the actual program gets kind difficult
Because cc professors might not be the best
And the grade requirements are kinda tough
But my goal originally was to do cs at UIUC and then get my masters all within 5 years
But obviously thatโs not happening anymore unless I do this program and actually get into cs after 2 years
Let me in
I hope you get in
@mint marsh hi i saw that you mentioned you have the uiuc 29 discord in a msg a week ago, do u mind inviting me to it? ty in advance
yess i'll send
Tysm!
@cold plume Where have you been accepted so far?
disregard descion day cope
this kinda real tho
i dont like champaign
๐ฅ
you can call them up
& ask why you didnt get in
if u wanna
ya
did purduemydaddy apply straightcs
๐
ikr
i know
did stanford not give u good aid
oh i see
oh rip
im full pay at stanford but my dad's on board if i get in

man
im going to miss uiuc
im not going here bc i got UT CS
but
for a week i genuinely thought i was gna become a UIUC student
hopefully i too will have the chance to turn down uiuc.
cs+ling uiuc
ut ling+CS but im pretty sure its like an extra program on top of CS
yeah
When are financial aid details released for ea
This year we are cooked ๐
๐ญ
vro applied rd
lol
pretty
most CS spots have alr been taken up from previous years data
what did you expect bro ๐ญ
yeah
yeah
like a handful
"im going to apply to a major with a 2% intl acceptnace rate overall, but actually ima do it RD"
๐ญ
oh damn
I'm gonna get deferred -> accepted . It's gonna happen guys
truth
i think
colleges might prefer deferrals to RD?
cuz defer means like you're competitive for it
but they want. to compare u to RD
Yeah I just have to hope that Rd apps are worse than mine
Or that they show less interest in the major
(ai bros)
idk
bro is saying it's better to be less interested in the school๐ญ๐ญ u applied late my dude
it depends on how much they consider demonstrated interest
yeah
but at the same time
defer could mean you didnt hold up to. the standard and they want to give u one more shot
i wanna see the acc rates rn
can they drop them
๐ข
need some confidence for my future decisions
umass is sm bettr

i dont think tahst how it works
.
how hard is it to get into a double major at ut though
thinking of double majoring if i choose ut
im just really worried about the state of ut informatics tbh
uh
idk anything about info
but i heard ut double majoring is possible just kind of a pain
THATS CRAZY, i feel special now lol
u
At a big school, you can choose not to do everything a big school offers. At a small school, you donโt have a choice.
yupp small school clears
The college football stadium experience is actually quite unparalleled, especially worldwide.

slightly outdated but it is the latest
it has salary info based on college and major
it is bias tho since it is a survey method
17 daysโฆ
Major?
Cs UIUC for sure
Engineering Purdue
Also in state out of state
Common sense is need in this country
uiuc is not in indiana so i think its an obvious choice
I do agree
Indiana sucks
BUT then cost difference between uiuc and purdue is quite big
Like 80k ish big over the 4 years
LAS honors requires me to take LAS 122 interesting
intro to leadership and society

im confused
am i not supposed to be in liberal arts and sciences? why does it say im part of grainger now?
huh?
stop i got freaked for a hot minute
lol
