and it depends on what you want to transfer into
cs
i got rejected for cs and got in for my second option
torn plinth
It's not going to happen
Cs is closed to internal transfers
If you want to study cs you should go to some other college

Thank you. I wasn't really looking to be a SWE or anything like that in fact I was kind of trying to land a consulting job after college. Do you think IS DS would still be worse off than CS for something like that?

Does uiuc send a physical letter
subtle venture
💀
subtle venture
I still regret not changung course to cs+x
still not a guarantee
regardless of cs+x uiuc is still really tough to get into
i got straight up denied from the smallest cs+x major with the least applicants with a profile that couldve easily had me in the door
universities say they look at things holistically but i think there's an unspoken rule that if ur gpa isnt as good as they want it to be they immediately throw out your application

does it do anything to accept a spot on the waitlist
like what does it mean exactly is it binding to something
quiet pollen
like what does it mean exactly is it binding to something
its not binding but it means u still somewhat have a chance of being accepted
ppl typically send a LOCI (letter of continued interest) to tell the school that theyre genuinely interested, which increases their chances of admittance to an extent since it tells the school that ure likely to enroll if accepted (schools love higher yield)
viral osprey
yes!! they sent a letter and stickers and some kinda journal lol

Saw a thread that they are speculated to have auto admit based off stats
I’m sure they do look at them tho
fiery compass
Saw a thread that they are speculated to have auto admit based off stats
no way
some guy with 4.0 1580 got his admissions file for cs
they had notes for everything
lost portal
forgot where I found it but it’s on Reddit somewhere, of course they do look at the rest of the application but if it’s good enough you prob can get admitted despite them imo
For not cs
Prob making stuff up lmao

Saw a thread that they are speculated to have auto admit based off stats
i think this might be the case
im pretty sure theres some auto-admitting going on at uiuc at least
im convinced my app was thrown out bc of my gpa
hybrid wraith
some guy with 4.0 1580 got his admissions file for cs
That’s crazy
subtle venture
im convinced my app was thrown out bc of my gpa
i applied to cs+ggis in ea with 5/10 cs related ecs, 2/10 geography related ecs (including my most important one), a national geobee win, my entire common app essay about how much i love geography, and 13 cs classes with all A's except one A- (i asked two people in the program to review my essays and they said they were pretty good)
not even deferred
straight up denied
bc i had a sub 3.6 gpa
and 1490
i know im not entitled to anything
but man not even a deferral is kinda wild
shame bc i kinda had my heart set on uiuc at least i dont need to pay the expensive fees as oos

Instate is a big advantage

who knows maybe if i lived in IL i wouldve gotten in with the same exact profile

fair enough
OOS students are going to be more cracked than instate by a long shot on average though
Obviously there’s exceptions
subtle venture
OOS students are going to be more cracked than instate by a long shot on average...
naturally bc it becomes multiple degrees tougher
especially engineering and cs
in state advantage really is something

in state advantage really is something
I wouldn’t even call it an “advantage” to be honest
It’s us coming to take over their state school, which is chartered for people of their state

i hoped i had a chance bc that is the smallest cs+x major and i heard they really look at whether or not you have a genuine interest in the x

It’s probably them not seeing fit
maybe but how would they even measure that

there's more people, so a better comparison would be percentile tbh
ofc point is yeah that u can be successful anywhere

like a lot more
if you think about it like two bell curves idk
if uiuc has 4x the amount of cs'ers than stanford, it doesnt matter if stanford students are on average 1 standard deviation better than uiucers, there will still be more (quantity wise) students at the 3rd+ stdiv from uiuc, and if you take the top 250 then their skill/pay/success mean would be greater than stanfords

On the notification page it still looks mostly the same, “you need to fill a FAFSA” yada yada and “OSFA anticipates to create aid notifications in early march”
I go to the “financial aid history page” and there’s money there but it’s pennies compared to my need and SAI 😭
Although I got a scholarship and it doesn’t show it there so maybe something is broken?

In state aid can happen but out of state rarely does for state schools

i hope it's close to a full ride for qualified instate students
its still around 33k
for instate
i'm OOS tho mines around 68k
When I do it tells me around 15k with my SAi score
When using the calculator
floral gull
i'm OOS tho mines around 68k
I didnt know oos and intls had similar fees

OOS is like 62k
it's basically the same
But I might call them soon that my family won't be able to contribute to my finances and I need to be financial independent. My parents are still like paying for three surgeries in the last 2 years.
OOS and Intls pay similar price modulo 5k
Working as a CNA tho
I heard intl is much more expensive, same tuition costs, just travelling expenses

flight tickets cost a lot
about $1500-$2000

atleast to and from sea
One of my parents was intl. At Moscow State University
I was told for them it was 2500-3000
round trip
thats about it
Yeah
yeah
would cost like that only
also 17-19 hours flight

It was only 3-6 hours tho 💀
which country
It was to Moscow Russia from Israel.
I am talking about like
flights to US
An Asian country to US
I see. I thought they would be somewhat similar tho

I don’t qualify and at the same time it’s hard to justify such a high price bc while I am happy to have gotten into a T5 school for computer engineering I would prefer a more desirable location

i thought it ended at academic progress
yeah $0 aid is crazy i don't like uiuc thaaaat much 😭😭😭
floral gull
Some stuff I don't have to pay such as transportation and books
You are only paying for tuition fees dorms housing (w/ food package).
Minutes the total financial aid you recieve
And loans too
price still makes me wanna kms
hmm
My case was like that and it was 9k
ok its fine i'll js wait for rds lol
💀
glacial merlin
65k... wtf 🥲
glacial merlin
mit please come through i need that $0 tuition for households under 200k 🙏🏼
floral gull
Which will be down to 6k before loans and then it will be like 70 with loans
floral gull
when they see the price
I initially thought I had to pay 18k a year until I was explained by a financial officer that it's not like that
Oh
and how did you figure hthat out
wtf
It doesn't say offer it tells me the average money you have to pay and than the total financial aid you get
And some of the stuff you don't play to be college
Pay to the college*
It's just (tuition and fees) (like 23314) + (housing) (like 15140)
Oh mine is not like that at all
It looks way different for me
It's only black and white
compact pond
It was on the portal on UI integrative portal
is it in the page with the checklist?
floral gull
Yes
It's right under the admitted check list in the financial aid box
Just click on UI-integrative Self-service and it takes you right there from your portal
compact pond

floral gull
Since I am in state I am only doing (tuition and fees) + (dorm housing) - (total aid)
Also - loans
The rest are not paying directly to university but directly just thriving on campus like dorm essentials but that is not included in this
Which is like other expenses
Transportation is covered for me since I am instate
hearty falcon
Since I am in state I am only doing (tuition and fees) + (dorm housing) - (total...
well yes, because on the ECOA it factors in $500 for transportation, $2,000 for "other educational costs"
floral gull
But for me I have 50 * tuition wavers it more like (tuition/2) + (fees) + (dorm housing) - total aid - loans.

floral gull
Heyy. You can still appeal if you can.
My friend got into a public university in Arizona and they have to pay 15k a year when they are -1500
But OOS
hearty falcon
dont get sick!
hearty falcon
honestly, not getting sick/injured or into a car accident or any natural disasters is the best way to save money
floral gull
Oh
Goal: Dual degree. First Bio but hopefully I can do it with BioEng if I am still able to
rare berry
honestly, not getting sick/injured or into a car accident or any natural disaste...
get hit by the school's bus and sue them
floral gull
I thought I did first choice Bioeng but it was biology 😭
But it's possible for me to do it if I follow a certain path and it's just for that med school application yuh
Bc my parents want me to be a doctor (they emigrated to the us initially wanting to be a doctor but couldn't due to socioeconomic factors and tried to make their child a doctor)
