uiuc’s actual CS program is also slightly better than austin so that’s another consideration

rancid quarry
#

I realize that

uncut pasture
#

fair but premed is a big gamble

rancid quarry
#

It is, I could take the easy way out and just do Uiuc cs

#

But I’m listening to my heart

#

Something is telling me to do premed

uncut pasture
#

i suppose that the extra two years to choose ur major is worth it

rancid quarry
uncut pasture
#

I’m turning down UIUC for UT

rancid quarry
#

I’ve talked to folks on my Unc visit and they went, why not just go to uiuc for what you have? You’re set

uncut pasture
#

because i’m closer to home/in state

rancid quarry
#

But like, idk I don’t think I’ll be happy

uncut pasture
#

but i’m still kinda weary about it

rancid quarry
#

I’m oos Cali for all

uncut pasture
#

that’s fair

uncut pasture
#

also you can still do premed as math+cs iirc

rancid quarry
#

If I want to do some form of engineering other than cs I could take a risk with Austin

#

And see where I end up

#

If you've set up your NetID you can join the discord student hub using it and check out all the UIUC servers

UIUC is a no brainer honestly

sour pier
#

could you mind discuss about this

peak wedge
#

It's cheaper (assuming you didn't apply for aid) and better for CS

@peak wedge I thought it was a different one bc it never asked to input my ID number for discord. But I am already in!

#

can you send uiuc server link @peak wedge @floral gull

@rapid socket already did some hours ago

Hey guys what’s up

#

I got rejected EA round and just got into parkland pathways

#

I’m most likely thinking about doing it, I’m a Illinois resident and my main goal would be engineering

#

Still deciding a specific major

#

Anyone know or heard about the program?

cold plume
# peak wedge invite code is N2f9uYQd

Would I be allowed to join the discord server as I’m highly thinking about going to UIUC but I would be considered a dual enrolled student (both a parkland college student and a UIUC student)

rapid socket
#

Im sure you can still join the discord server, just most of the information you learn there probably won’t be applicable until two years from now

cold plume
rapid socket
#

Ah

#

That sounds like a pretty good program

#

Although I don’t know if it’s worth paying the premium for university housing if you don’t have to

#

I sent the link

cold plume
rapid socket
#

2 classes?

cold plume
#

So they’re really cheap compared to UIUC

cold plume
cold plume
rapid socket
#

That’s cool

cold plume
#

It’s also already cheap

#

I think with dorm it’s around 20-24k per year

rapid socket
#

So are you considered parkland or UIUC primarily?

#

Or is it both

cold plume
rapid socket
#

Nice

#

That’s very cool

cold plume
#

I think primarily you’re a parkland student because you take the most credit hours at parkland but you’re considered both a UIUC student and parkland student

rapid socket
#

Ah nice

cold plume
#

My decision letter states I will be both a UIUC and parkland student

#

Seems nice

rapid socket
#

Im guessing you wouldn’t know but in case you do, what would you put on your resume?

cold plume
#

And I’m from Illinois

cold plume
#

Not from parkland

rapid socket
#

Rightttt

cold plume
#

Also parkland thing is only for two years

#

Then you’re only a UIUC student

rapid socket
#

Well

#

Im guessing you get your associates from parkland

#

And then bachelors from Illinois

cold plume
#

Yep

rapid socket
#

Good for you tho

Amazing human being

lone ginkgo
#

I appealed and my rejection came on Friday but they just emailed me today that there’s a decision ready 😭😭

floral gull
#

@lone ginkgo what's the decision? Are you fighting illini???

lone ginkgo
#

No unfortunately not 😦

#

But I will be trying to transfer in the future so maybe in a couple years

Basically my school has internals and board exams, but the board exam results only come out in August. Since UIUC requires senior transcript in July, the internals will be sent. I went down from A+AABC to ABBCC in internals, but I'm confident I will get at least A+AABB in board exams since the the grading system is different. Could I be rescinded just based on preboard results, or will they ask me to explain the dip?

I will also be doing the same but be living in UIUC dorms and taking UIUC classes in the fall alongside being dual enrolled in parkland college to finish off my geneds

wide spoke
#

they sent me an appeal saying my appeal was rejected

#

from grainger

#

but they still put me on the wailist from before

floral gull
#

You might need to wait till June

#

@wide spoke bc that's when wait-list comes out. Is your first choice Grainger and 2nd choice not Grainger?

#

Just making sure so I can get the right image

wide spoke
#

and i appealed to cs & physics

#

but they rejected the appeal

#

and stated that i was still on the waitlist

floral gull
#

But what is your 2nd choice?

#

@wide spoke can you tell me what's your 2nd choice? I might have an idea on what's going on

wide spoke
floral gull
#

@wide spoke if you are doing math at LAS as your 2nd choice major. Then you def got in for your 2nd choice major but they think you are still a worthy applicant and might have a chance for CS.

wide spoke
#

does this mean that they will give me admission to math in like june

#

if i dont make the cut for cs?

floral gull
#

Yes it seems like it

#

Are you oos?@wide spoke

#

I think yes bc Math at LAS and if you were applying for CS you must have a good application like a high gpa and test scores.

#

And cs + math is more selective but just math is less selective

#

But ey! If you are waitlisted then you have a shot still at CS

hearty falcon
#

@wide spoke were you admitted to your second choice?

wide spoke
wide spoke
wide spoke
#

is there a good chance i get off the waitlist?

#

the uiuc common data set says its very low in general

#

is there anything differnet this yera

floral gull
#

@wide spoke I think they put you on wait-list bc of your first choice and think there might be a chance for you at CS + math

#

Bc if you applied for this major that means you have a good profile which makes me believe there is a high chance you are good for math at LAS.

#

And still think your worthy for cs and math and just want to check your profile again if they see those not committing withdrawing some room left for qualifying applicants or etc or you will get in for math at las

#

And if you get into math at las then you can transfer to engineering and business if you want to do with math so it can be more prestigious I guess bc I think CS you can't transfer into btw. But either or, I have faith in you.

wide spoke
#

how is pure math at uiuc to cs + math transfer

rapid socket
#

I think most people suggest a 3.9-4.0 gpa

wide spoke
#

oh 💀

also i doubt you'll get rescinded

I know they have partner programs with Illinois community college to basically guarantee your admission

#

Are you from Illinois by chance?

lone ginkgo
#

No unfortunately

rapid socket

Ahh dang

#

I’m not sure then tbh sorry

#

I’ll try to look into it a little tho

lone ginkgo

I know it’s not easy but a man can only hope

No point in not trying

1% means there’s still a chance

ebon dirge
#

I think it’s 3

#

It was 3 last year atleast

blissful thicket
#

what abt for cs + x?

ebon dirge
#

There were 1800 people on the waitlist and 56 got accepted

#

Idk about specific majors

blissful thicket
#

ohh ok thanks anyways!

ebon dirge
#

But some years it has been 0 but those were Covid years

blissful thicket
#

ohh ok i was just abt to say

#

2026 & 2024

ebon dirge
#

Some years it’s also been 95% tho

#

Hopefully this is not one of the 0% ones

blissful thicket
#

wait really?

#

thats crazy

#

oh 2012

#

hopefully something like that happens again

lone ginkgo
#

I think it’ll be higher than last year but also not insanely high

#

Illinois had a housing issue so they need to scope out the right amount of people

wide spoke
ebon dirge
#

I didn’t really care about my wait lists from other college so I only did research for uiuc

does uiuc accept updates from waitlisted students?
my final year scores just came in

wide spoke
#

they dont

neon mountain
rancid quarry
#

and have stuff that really aligns with the major you select

#

uiuc loves people who are interesting, but at the same time they also love people who really match up with what theyre applying for

# neon mountain everyone who got in, any tips for a rising senior? good stats, decent ecs, good...

stats yes, ecs i find it generally easier to get in for people with a specific interest (myself included)
everyone i know that got into uiuc (most grainger, some cs+x) has some unique theme throughout their ecs, like one guy only focuses on robotics and has a shit ton of FIRST awards, another has a ton of big AI side projects that turned into passion projects, another was big into media & photography and made that his own theme with projects

then there's me who's a hardcore band kid going into engineering

i think the main point is how u present urself

it's not like not doing a certain activity will disqualify you
