unless i have no other options
hopefully the washu 50% fly in acc rate clutches up PLEASE mama
good
oh yikes
are ther rats
idk
oh
good job dawg
am i cooked if i didnt get it
eveyr school tryna yield me π―
first illinois state then uiuc
its okay
i got the grainger email
they know im not gonna go π
nothing abt honors
what are the benefits of uiuc honors?
alrigjht i guess
grainger
petition to change gies college of buisness to gyatt college of buisness
ty
figured
without priority registration, how hard is it to register courses for EE freshman?
ty
Ongg
im gonna petition
if i got into their cs+ling program, which is in their liberal arts college, why did uiuc send me a "Get to Know The Grainger College of Engineering!" email
same thing happened to me!
when do we get fin aid offers
lol yh all colleges r due may 1st iirc
ya its prolly mar, april?
then march
idk π
somenoe save me from my calc test tmrw
i have a calc test on friday
π
polar/parametric calc
what cool shit does uiuc give in their acceptance package
are you on rotations
we get cheap stickers
real
a
nvm our things are completly diff
we finisehd rotations last semester
why the hell is everyone learning calc at a different pace than me
Polar/parametric was one of our first units
Is my teacher just weird
we did rotations last year π
wait are you guys talking about calc ab
or bc
bc
we finished ab stuff first sem now we doin the last 3 units of bc
in order i thkn
LOL to me doing ab first semester bc is kinda weird
different school systems I guess
but lowkey
in a way
nah i mean bc is ab+3 units
this makes more sense
Cause bc is a lot of ab anyways
yeah so ur basically relearing ab in bc anyways
We actually haven't done any relearning this entire year
we're just going at a much slower pace
except for like 1 week in the beginning of the school year
at least it makes things more chill lol
i agree
my test tmrw is over like a dozen things
yeah
I can barely keep up in my class rn
I have no idea what's going on
I think most people in my class are lost cause we're all second semester seniors who aren't paying attention LOL
trig sub, eulers, diff equations, trig diff, trig integration, logistic growth, partial fractions, improper integrals, integration by parts, trig integrals 
thats so me but this test might cause me to die
NOOOO LMAOOO
no literally I had a test on just convergence/divergence a few weeks ago
A review from first semester
And I got an 89 π
oh yeah... that's on our test tmrw too 
I have no idea how you're doing it lol
Uh I mean I know this stuff so if you ever need help or wanna do a study session I'm down
God knows I gotta study anyways π
we're doing taylor/maclaurin and some error bound thing that starts with a g and is related to maclaurin
i'll see after this test xd cuz its progressive
wdym by progressive?
80 on this test if u get a higher grade next test it replaces both
but the next test contains both tests content
Ah
I would still take it though
We used to be allowed to do test corrections
you get between 25%-33% of your lost points back (depending on how generous my teacher is feeling x_x) up to 90%
WHAT
BUT SOME STUPID PEOPLE DECIDED TO RUIN IT FOR THE REST OF US BY DOING CORRECTIONS ON LIKE AN 88 OR SOMETHING
AND NOW SHE CHANGED THE RULE SHE HAD FOR YEARS
AND NOW YOU CAN ONLY DO CORRECTIONS UP TO 80
bro i would love that still 
Cause you have to correct the problems obviously
Find like 2-3 similar questions
And write like a 1-2 page letter
Explaining what you did wrong
How you learned from it
How you will improve in the future
So it takes like 2 hours to do a few corrections
ok nvm i'd just take a failing grade
LOL
See that's why I've only done corrections once
Cause I actually got a bad grade
BUT NOW THESE PEOPLE HAVE RUINED IT AND NOW YOU CAN'T DO CORRECTIONS UNLESS YOU GET UNDER AN 80
pretty much everyone is pissed about it
nahh this motvation to lock in
I usually get an average of like 88 on tests I'm just not gonna do 2 hours of corrections for 0.5 points x_x
and now
I'm even more lazy
I should be studying rn
butttt
I'm not lol
two tests in one day is diabolical
ap gov and ap calc too
Like
the two worst classes
fr
realll
x_x
he just puts on yt shorts or dhar man
what does he have to do with gov π
Why can I smell this thread wtf
no clue 
x_x
I will never complain about my physics teacher again
he chill tho
I'm convinced my physics teacher hates kids LOL
And she doesn't teach either x_x
but lowkey idc anymore
As long as I don't get a C I'm chill LOL
This year I started talking like exclusively to juniors
ngl I like the juniors at my school better than seniors
And they're all tweaking out
And then there's me
not knowing what's going on in any class
just here
existing
I actually need to find someone to lock in with though I'm gonna fail all my classes at this rate π
LOL
no lowkey yeah
I keep telling them to chill and that things will all work out knowing full well that a year ago I was panicking even harder than them x_x
Idk it's fun to give advice though
i gotchu!!!
nah i cant tho they're all smarter than me
passing down the college tips and how to get teachers to give you good grades lol
LOL bet
i wish i was a college admissions person
no so real though x_x
I just give advice on teachers and how to find good colleges
that's why I got rejected duke fr
redistrubtion of wealth is a liberal idealology - ap gov :3
yea thats why i got rejected from all these fire schools
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH π₯ π₯
im too good
π
AAAAAAAA MY MOM KEEPS SENDING ME RANKINGS LISTS
the asian parent overload
I feel like ap gov would be interesting but it's a huge amount of work at my school and I'm not about to write all those essays
LOL
my mom keeps sending me college news
rip we dont have that many essays we just kinda watch crashcourse
alriht time for me to go to bed
good night guys
it's fine lowkey
but the average on our last ap chem test
was a 59
And that is why I refuse to take any science APs LOL
I was averaging 60s in AP Biology exams but still got an A due to turning in assignments on time.
Got a 4 on the actual AP exam so looking back it was a fair system.
yeah I think a lot of people in my class who averaged 60s last yr got 5s
I got a 90 though so I think it'll be a pretty ez 5
too many messages, did only liberal arts honors come out or are comp sci out as well?
16 daysβ¦
Praying for my friend π
didnt get one lmao. cooked
LAS?
on the uiuc webpage they said 12% of undergrad gets the LAS
oh, maybe its not out yet then
i hears some1 got it
If determined as eligible, youβll receive an invitation to participate in the program prior to your arrival on campus. Typically, the top 10% of incoming first-year students are eligible to participate.
okay
is this academics 10%
or
The real question is does info sci also have honors
yes
What is iSchool?
school that houses the info sci major
why no honors for me ;-;
uh
no
I know nothing about uiuc x_x
I know it's in urbana champaign
good for ischool
that's about it
Yeah I'm definitely not going
I still want honors though π
LOL
really?
I heard the ischool was good
only reason I applied
- easy supps
Huh that's interesting
Wellll good thing I have unc/gt lol
Nah computational media for gt
info sci for unc
out of curiosity why did you assume graphic design lol
I'm curious
LOL no that's if you design a logo or something for the server
It's half in the college of computing, half in liberal arts
I'd be doing a people -> interaction design concentration
So I want to focus on how humans interact with technology and use that to design better tech (so ux design)
nah I assumed that too when I first joined this server
#1068814960437764157
I did the duke thing before I got rejected from them π
I promised that I would design an icon for whatever school I commit to though lol
I got computer science @ grainger
?
Why
Give it to ppl who r actually going bruh
also girl u got into gt
Okay yeah fair but I'm still convinced gt was a fluke lol
My major is half in the college of computing and I have multiple Bs in STEM and nothing at all cs related
honors colleges at massive state schools are very difficult to get into lol
i go to usc and i didnβt get into honors at penn state, uiuc, or suny
Okayyy that makes me feel a lot better about no honors here or at UNC lol
are honors worth it though? I think it's just extra work.
a lot of honors programs offer scholarships, exclusive dorms, and classes that arent available to the general public (i.e. at penn state theres an infamous freshman english course thats hell on earth to register for that honors college students dont have to worry about because they have an honors-only english course)
also the capstone projects/theses are really helpful for grad school admissions and tend to be a requirement because most honors college students intend on going to grad school in some shape or form
That's valid, but when an employer (e.g. JPMorgan) asks you what you majored in, will they really care about "honors [x]"?
a lot of honors programs also have exclusive alumni networks
iirc penn state has alumni mentors for all of the honors college students
so it really can make a difference but its largely what you put into it is what youll get out of it
only in a2c do you have people who got into a school w a ~40% acceptance rate saying theyβre cooked bc they didnβt get into the honors college
u dont understand
my life is over
now that idk
im KIDDING.
congrats dawg
where tf is mineee

i dont like uiuc
born to go to georgia tech forced to go to uiuc
bro ythat dont seem that bad
:(
lmao
jk
georgia SUCKS
!!
!!!!!!
Did gies honors get released for everyone?
yes bro
π£π£
how was ur snow day
help ππ
real
i kinda didnβt study
itβs ok
i had a life awakening moment again
well i studied
ish
test is two days long tho
nothing really
happens every once in a while
hallo
Are u committin illinois
no
im waiting until march 27th
lmao @ornate sequoia i saw lagumists left uiuc server
πΉ
FREEE
15 daysβ¦
did any1 get the acc package yet
well the stickers
cus
yup
what school di du apply to alsoo
Iβm most likely going to give up my cs and math spot. You can take it
I donβt think Iβll be enjoying the next 4 years of my life doing this
yes
Honestly I feel the same way
UIUC math cs was my top choice for a while, but now Iβm not even sure if Iβd go if I got in
Compared to another school thatβs still somewhat selective (<50% ar total) but has much more flexibility so I could transition to CS/CE/math/whatever much easier
im nj
when do they send james scholar notifications etc?
guys i got my stickers today
yes
WHAT
revan what state
π’
me when oos kids get b4 me..
jk
but damn
it hurts
i got my chancellor's scholar notif today
dunno if thats more or less the same thing
Ya same whatβs the difference. I did not get James scholar
fascinating
chancellors has some more stuff i believe
also u get to register earlier than james for classes so you'd be more or less the first
same yea
ayyyy
okayy ty LOL
for EA kids or RD kids
EA
if i did rd and i didnt get any emails am i cooked
i mean i dont think you've even been admitted yet
Because some people are asking, Chencellor's Scholars (CHP program) are different than James Scholars. CHP is a university-wide honors program with only around 500 undergrads total (~120 per year) that mostly accepts in-state students, whereas James Scholar is dependent on your specific college. Feel free to ping me or message me if you have anything you want to know since the two programs are quite different and I'm a CHP student.
Where's mine π
I've only gotten it from Purdue
And my pretzel package from Marquette LOL
Oh wait
NO WAY THAT'S MY POST LOL
MY PRETZEL POST
okay lowk i saw u on reddit
& was like looking thru ur history
sorry
seemed like u tho
π
didnt wanna ask tho
bc like how u use "x_x" LOLLL
LOL
real
Yeah no I've given up I thought maybe only 1-2 classmates would find me on Reddit cause of my recent college results post but then nearly everyone on this server found me
NO LITERALLY I HAD PEOPLE HERE BE LIKE "OH BTW I SAW YOUR COLLEGE RESULTS"
MORE PEOPLE ON THIS DISCORD SERVER FOUND ME ON REDDIT THAN MY OWN CLASSMATES WHICH IS HILARIOUS
Youβve gotten your Purdue package???
Yeah it's just stickers though lol
Dang
yeah even though I am definitely not putting a sticker on my keyboard it was still kinda cool lol
yale please admit me I have a spot on my laptop just for you π
Or for whatever college I commit to
did you get interview request
or likely
NO
π i didnt get anything
NOTHING
defo rejected
I'm cooked
yale hates my school though
its yale so whatever
Like my friend thinks we're blacklisted lol
but still, i love how this school lets you know beforehand
deferred from cornell, i think thats a good sign
:O
hey not bad, I got straight up rejected from duke lol
but duke is overrated I'm a (maybe) future tar heel now
therefore I hate duke lol
i didnt apply duke
π
cornell π
I will not feel like I have wasted my entire life
okay it feels wrong saying that in the uiuc channel LOL
gt is rlly hype tho
uiuc I'm still grateful to you for admitting me
so is unc
im most likely giving up UIUC and their CS program because i think its gonna be too harsh for me in the next 4 years
Makes sense
95% going to commit UNC if i dont get into any ivies
My mom wants me to go to unc my dad wants me to go to udub I want to go to gt
i understand that its as good as UC Berkely, and that UIUC CS is known throughout the entirety of america basically
but im prioritizing my own mental health
But I have a bunch of friends there who straight up told me they'll hop on a zoom call with my parents to convince them to let me go to gt LOL
Yeah mental health is important
unc is just too close to duke π
π
do james scholar notifications go out one college at a time?
what's james scholar
β οΈ
aint escaping trauma with this one
but then
u can hate on duke even more by going to unc
hell yeah
Yes, James Scholars are college-specific so there may be differences in timing between different colleges sending out emails
is gies out yet?
uic keeps flirting with me in emails ... Uiuc better hurry up if they want me π
Like okayyy
LOL
the admissions people at smaller colleges r so much nicer .... Makes me reconsider tbh
Like ππ when I get a personal note in a liberal arts acceptance ππ like why am I doing this
i need to learn how to hack into the admissions database to get my results bc I cannot wait this long
I applied IN NOVEMBERRR
like please ππ
I wish I had just gotten rejected so I could be done with it
I mean u could get in unless ur like actually cooked? R your stats good
they r eh
R they at average for your major?
What about essay and ecs? Do u think u did ok on those
i couldnt tell you at all tbh
I got deferred and I'm waiting for rd
tx

That looks rlly goood
no ACCEPTANCE PACKAGE
:(
bro i live like 2 hrs away
what if my accepatnce was faked
OH NOO

I accidentally put the wrong address on my application but it was the same address name so it was sent to the house across the street
Actually tragic
Now I have to update all my rds
I just never realized it
HELP
OMG HIII CONGRATS ON UIUC ππ
LOL
Yes
pretzel is the best acceptance package
It is now in my stomach though π
No more pretzel π
rate it
π₯
Lowkey it was surprisingly good
For something that was dropped off at my front door lol
application fee?
FREE
FREEEE
ALL I HAD TO DO WAS LITERALLY JUST FILL OUT MY NAME AND GIVE THEM TRANSCRIPTS
the pretzel seems somewhat concerning
LOL
Yeah I thought it was a giant squishy or something at first x_x
But so far I haven't been poisoned sooooo
And neither has my family soooooooo
I think we should be good lol
anthrax pretzel
I'm actually really surprised it tasted as good as it did
It was legit the softest pretzel I've ever had
Yeah wayyy better than purdue's lol
lowkey as an international it'll probably be a WHILE till i get my acceptance package π
do internationals even get an acceptance package?
especially from a over-represented country lol
USC sent me one in the mail
and a bunch of other unis sent them to all my friends
π
yeah they better send one to all with that COA
hey guys any international who received admisson package?
They donβt send packages abroad
π¦

hello everybody
when does rd come out?
missed ea deadline by one day
but hopefully it wonβt affect me too much
nvm rd comes out the 28th
I applied Rd UT Austin and I got in π€·ββοΈ
Obviously didn't affect me
Then again ut Austin deferred everyone this year
illinois packet lowkey fire
You get extra stickers for attending certain events, I believe.
No, havenβt committed anywhere yet
Lmao I got stickers too

idk if those are worth it over gt ngl π
maybe yale
why.
depends on aid ofc but like
is it worth paying more
cornell coa is 90k
gt coa is 50k
imo $90k cornell isn't worth it
It's definitely hard to justify, especially when you have 50k gt as a choice
agreed
are most people paying that much anyways?
Cornell covers all of your demonstrated need doesn't it
I'd imagine the vast majority of students aren't paying 90k (or even close to it)
regardless before making these decisions based on price, I'd email the financial aid office at both schools and see what their aid is like, and what avenues you have to pay for school
since a lot of the time I'd assume the flat cost of attendance you calculate isn't going to end up being what you actually pay
I see
50k gt is a pretty easy choice for me
if it was like
50k cornell vs 50k gt
i'd prolly choose cornell
60k cornell I might choose cornell as well
90k def gt
Hallo
any UIUC freshman here applying for 2025 summer internship? how is it going? if you secured a job, how much factor do you think UIUC name recognition played?
