University of Illinois Urbana Champaign (UIUC) (2025-2026)

[cunning topaz]

okay thanks

[sacred shoal]

so what your telling me is that people will be able to access their decision at 6:30 pm est

[lament moth]

It’s supposed to be 7 cst

Idk if UIUC is an unofficial early school but idts

[merry viper]

They did say “by” 7 and not at 7

So there’s a chance they release it in like waves so the website doesn’t crash again

[novel kraken]

the website crashed last time?

for how long

[merry viper]

Very long

I think it was supposed to open at 6(?) est and my friend couldn’t open until 9

He got in tho so kinda fire

[somber star]

Guys uiuc mechE of Udub mechE disregarding tuition

Not js ranking wise overall life/oppurunities too

[lament moth]

I expect at

[dreamy quartz]

UIUC

Actually I don’t know

UIUC is the better Eng school

[gusty spire]

guys, my status uptil now was deferred now it is complete for regular decision

does this mean they have uploaded the decisions

[novel kraken]

what diff does it make

[gusty spire]

idk, i get spooked by every small change on a portal

[novel kraken]

fair

[valid frost]

Their email said 7pm CT, which should be 8pm EST

[silk fox]

i haven't either 😭

[lament moth]

We went over this

[silk fox]

sorry

i didn't scroll up

[dreamy quartz]

Same

[uneven yoke]

hopefully it doesnt crash again

[fossil seal]

when does it come out

8?

[slate cargo]

so ready for friday

so ready for

[valid frost]

for an acceptance 😎

[trail vector]

fax

[proud root]

ok so like 19 hrs

[cobalt berry]

NOW

[cobalt berry]

Do they only release at 7pm ct or a bit earlier in phases or shifts or waves or whatever

[potent snow]

most colleges release in waves but uiuc's portal is gonna get bricked much earlier so basically all at the same time after 2hrs

[cobalt berry]

so 2 hours after 7pm ct?

abt?

[potent snow]

realistically yea

[silk fox]

im kinda nervy 👉👈

[late anvil]

results today, at 3am at night for me

my ass is still not ready for RD

[split gulch]

good luck everyone

[valid frost]

thank you 🙏

[novel kraken]

5am 🙏

[trail vector]

6am !

[cobalt berry]

9 am

[frozen apex]

good luck everyone on release day tomorrow

[valid frost]

8pm for me

good luck to us all!

[frozen apex]

7am in the morning for me

[left kelp]

Good luck yall

[polar jewel]

how much longe till they drop?

[molten rapids]

7.5 hra

[polar jewel]

it says by 7pm ct, does that mean it could be before?

[molten rapids]

Hrs

[polar jewel]

because EA was before too

[proud condor]

It'll probably be later since UIUC portal servers are absolutely horrible

[valid frost]

I think people are getting hung up on “by,” when UIUC really just means at 7pm CT

[valid frost]

maybe, but I hope not ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[polar jewel]

all speculation btw

u dont know that they mean at

[twin lantern]

Dont even care about uiuc no more but if the reject me imma be pissed 😭
gl to you guys

[fading bridge]

I'm so cooked 😨 . ||I know i rejected ||

[torn spruce]

DECISIONS IN LESS THAN 6 HRS

[winter flax]

yep ik im getting rejected

[novel kraken]

what did you ppl apply for

[novel kraken]

got in somewhere better?

[earnest adder]

i did math+cs

in LAS

[novel kraken]

pure?

i did stats+cs

[earnest adder]

pure means?

i didnt see a pure option

this is what i did

[novel kraken]

iirc there was another option besides stats, thought that was pure sorry

[earnest adder]

o ok

[novel kraken]

how are you feeling out of curiosity

[earnest adder]

i got deferred EA

[novel kraken]

oh damn

[earnest adder]

im feeling hopeful

do we know what time ti comes out

ik the email said by 7pm central

so it can come before

[polar jewel]

dint u say u got in UIUC EA?

[earnest adder]

i got into purdue ea

not uiuc ea

[novel kraken]

uiuc lover crazy

i've been getting cooked by the US mostly so far so not too hopeful, but, hopefully

[earnest adder]

i got deferred in ea round 😭

[polar jewel]

yeah same

but by my name u can tell

i REALLY WANNA GO HERE

[novel kraken]

do you know how much higher the acceptance rate is for cs+math programmes?

i heard some ppl say its much higher, others say around the same as cs

[earnest adder]

Im told that math. & cs is different than cs + X

[novel kraken]

yeah

[earnest adder]

since its in LAS not grainger

i think its still very selective though

maybe around 25-30%

grainger cs is like 3% 💀

[novel kraken]

wtf

😭

i was really considering applying pure cs

but i realised i'd get cooked

[earnest adder]

cooked

yeah

if u get into grainger cs u have a really solid shot at ivy

thats like the general consenus

[novel kraken]

lmao

[earnest adder]

but many would still pick grainger over an ivy

for cs

[novel kraken]

i mean

yeah

its still T5 for cs iirc

[earnest adder]

sole exception being stanford

[novel kraken]

so maybe instead of dartmouth or smthing

[earnest adder]

if we're counting that in

[novel kraken]

ofc

i'd presume many might still choose ivys for that prestige

which this job market apparently values a lot

[earnest adder]

true that

[novel kraken]

where else did you apply btw?

did you apply gtech?

[earnest adder]

rejected lmao

[novel kraken]

same

idk why i thought i had somewhat of a chance 😭

i at least expected a defer

[earnest adder]

i applied for pure math at gtech

not even cs

[novel kraken]

wow

[earnest adder]

yet i got rejected which is harsh

[novel kraken]

gtech is just crazy

esp considering public

[earnest adder]

yeah

[novel kraken]

does uiuc do much like that

iirc i dont think it does that much

[earnest adder]

are chances off the waitlist here good?

or is it specific

[novel kraken]

.

admitted off waitlist

wait what

im presuming the waitlist number is ppl from a2c

[valid frost]

There is just “mathematics,” it was going to be my second major choice

I don’t think it’s called pure though

[polar jewel]

any idea of how many ppl get off deferrals?

from EA

[foggy hinge]

https://www.tiktok.com/@tineocollegeprep/video/7612359388329725215

[polar jewel]

i dont have tiktok

can u jus tell me what it says

@foggy hinge

[earnest adder]

cornell

[novel kraken]

js says deferral acceptance rates are low because more ppl applying instead of prude and other schools

[earnest adder]

uiuc and gtech mentionedtoo

[polar jewel]

jus tell me about uiuc gng

[earnest adder]

for engineering majors

[polar jewel]

ic

[earnest adder]

and stem

[foggy hinge]

stem deferral for uiuc is hard

[earnest adder]

but uiuc deferred about 16% of people this cycle though

according to this guy

[polar jewel]

maybe we have hope

[novel kraken]

60k apps?

holy

[earnest adder]

idk man

this is what i saw

[novel kraken]

these ere 28 numbers

uiuc has like 100k+ applicants if that guys right lmao

[earnest adder]

i just want to know the defer to admit rate

[novel kraken]

doubt that info exists

[polar jewel]

it will be in a couple hours

lol

[earnest adder]

do u know what time

[polar jewel]

personally, i think it drops in an hour and a half

but could be in 4 and half too

[novel kraken]

why?

[earnest adder]

im hopin 4pm eastern

[polar jewel]

EA dropped then so i belive theyll drop RD at the same time

[earnest adder]

it could well be 5 pm too

[polar jewel]

no info, all speculation tho

[novel kraken]

huh intriguing

[foggy hinge]

its prolly gonna crash again lol

[earnest adder]

ea dropped is misleading

[novel kraken]

was the time they gave for RD also the same

[earnest adder]

i didnt see my decision until like 9pm eastern

lmao

[polar jewel]

no

[earnest adder]

website was broken

[polar jewel]

saw mine 30 mins b4 the time they said

[novel kraken]

t5 cs school

[polar jewel]

lol

[fossil seal]

how likely are you to get ur second choice if not ur first

in uiuc rd

if deferred

[novel kraken]

1480?

prolly depends on math score

are you applying for cs?

prob doesnt help you

might not hurt you

[earnest adder]

is it bad that i didnt put a 2nd choice

[polar jewel]

oh same combination

lol

[novel kraken]

i didnt put one either

[polar jewel]

got deferred too?

[earnest adder]

i didnt put a 2nd chpice cuz i had to write more essays

[novel kraken]

740 math is still good, but ya its uiuc

i dont even get their sub score sat system

[polar jewel]

they value sat a lot?

[novel kraken]

i honestly dk

im talking about how if you have 2 sat results, they consider the highest sub score

but for the total score, they only consider one test

[polar jewel]

ic

yeah my raw and highest were the same

so idrc

[vast radish]

is it out if I may ask nicely

[earnest adder]

no

[polar jewel]

no

fr gng making my 1500 look chopped, like 790 math is good but 710 is buns

[novel kraken]

bro replied quick

1500 and above i doubt they care honestly

[vast radish]

I got a 730 in ebrw sybau

[novel kraken]

im 750 750

equal as all things should be

[vast radish]

SYBAU SYBAU SYBAU SYBAU SYBAU

jk

[novel kraken]

😭

[polar jewel]

lol

[novel kraken]

english isnt my first language so idk maybe that gave me a more academic point of view on it

[polar jewel]

ong i got 700 thrice b4 getting 710

like im jus dumb

[novel kraken]

🙏 🙏

got rejected from gt and ut so far so cant say i expect the best from this proccess

but it be what it be

ya prolly

[polar jewel]

no clue

[sacred shoal]

ut was such a mess this year, I don't think it means anything

[valid frost]

I think it’s better phrased as EA increases your odds from baseline

but that’s usually quite a small difference at most places

idk about UIUC

[novel kraken]

and i applied to maryland RD

✨

i wish i knew half the knowledge i know now

[valid frost]

lol same

but I’m happy with what I got so far, so no regrets :)

[twin lantern]

UW CS so yeah lol
all love tho

[novel kraken]

washington?

[twin lantern]

yup

[novel kraken]

peak

congrats gang

[twin lantern]

thanks always my dream and I got deferred from uiuc cs + x both oos so idk how I got into the harder one 😭

[novel kraken]

pff you applied to cs + math?

yep! got in

CS

[twin lantern]

cs+bioengineering wouldnt be caught dead getting rejected by LAS

[twin lantern]

crazy congrats

[novel kraken]

lmao

are they SAT optional?

[twin lantern]

same im test optional thats prolly why I got uw and not uiuc
I mean who knows 4 hours will tell

[novel kraken]

are you considering going btw?

and grats btw

my only issue w/ umass is price

40k/yr

but idk i wont be finding anything cheaper atp

[twin lantern]

thats the minimum price for any uni for me
SBU with 10k is still 40

[novel kraken]

they gave me $18k merit, but they dont give any aid

[novel kraken]

why is uni in the us so expensive 💔

yep

[novel kraken]

uiuc itself is like 60k-70k or smthing too 😭

[valid frost]

Nope

[twin lantern]

Real only crazy expensive one im considering is Northwestern but thats not happening lmao

[valid frost]

My EAs rejected me xD

[twin lantern]

Both eds rejected me bro 🥺

[novel kraken]

you'll get it twin

dont sweat it

[valid frost]

I had one ED and felt really good about it for some reason 😭

Dream school too 😔

[novel kraken]

where you goin?

[valid frost]

But I got a rly good school got my major in RD, so it works out :D

[valid frost]

Me?

[novel kraken]

ye

[valid frost]

Haven’t committed yet, but almost certainly Stony Brook

[twin lantern]

Same oml
I dont wanna say it but literal dream school
I thought I had a good chance

2nd was just a long shot uchi
I AI'd the essay so yeah lmao

[twin lantern]

oh nice I got in too

[valid frost]

great school for physics, especially theory 😌

[valid frost]

:0 congrats!

[valid frost]

Sameeee

but we’ll end up where we belong!

[twin lantern]

lowk thought it was on staten island and not long island for the longest time lmao

[polar jewel]

had 2EDS, felt good bout both, got rejected by both instntly

[twin lantern]

hope so lol

[valid frost]

I think I would’ve been too stressed at my dream places anyway lol

[valid frost]

Oh lol

What major did you get admitted for?

[valid frost]

Well, today you get UIUC 😼

[novel kraken]

^

[twin lantern]

CS
then honors after a month

I dont really have a CS app btw or like CS 😭

[polar jewel]

yup imma get in

[valid frost]

XD do you plan on switching?

[twin lantern]

Maybe to electrical engineering if going to SBU which is possible because it is a lot cheaper than most of mine
But mostly either UW seattle or Imperial college london

[novel kraken]

yo imperial is also lovely

i know someone going there for grad

[valid frost]

SBU is my cheapest option… even compared to my in state lol

[novel kraken]

from uiuc incidentally

[valid frost]

I also applied to a UW school, but it was Madison

[polar jewel]

whats ur tmua @twin lantern ?

[novel kraken]

ngl wish i applied to madison

[twin lantern]

its 93k 4 years compulsory
The course is kinda mid (Biomedical engineering)
Also dont really fw the uk

[novel kraken]

93k

ok nvm gang

[valid frost]

what major are you going for at most places?

[novel kraken]

mb

[twin lantern]

UCAT actually
2400/2700 Band 1

[novel kraken]

CS pretty much

only uiuc applied for cs+stats

[valid frost]

I lowk copied my whole essay from Cornell and just repurposed it

[polar jewel]

oh idk anything bout ucat

is a 6 good?

[novel kraken]

any of you ppl applying to canada?

[valid frost]

is cs + x usually less competitive than just cs at UIUC?

[novel kraken]

yes from what i've heard

[valid frost]

Ah okay

[twin lantern]

The score would have gotten me into a good enough uk med school but spending 6 months of my life preparing for interviews that may or may not succeed all to become a doctor in the uk is not the most appealing thing

[valid frost]

Ngl, I think I made a mistake with choosing the degree form for my major

[polar jewel]

yep

[novel kraken]

what did you choose?

[valid frost]

Physics BS, which is in Grainger…

BA is in LAS

[novel kraken]

ooooh

[valid frost]

might’ve helped me if I chose BA but idk

It’ll be what it’ll be

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[novel kraken]

its ok you're still going to a great place regardless of the outcome

[valid frost]

Yeppp

I’m so excited for this fall

[novel kraken]

bro i litr cant wait for uni

[valid frost]

been waiting for uni forever

[novel kraken]

its gonna be peak

[valid frost]

Yessir

[twin lantern]

idk about you guys but like I really feel Id fit more into Udub than something like uiuc 😭

[valid frost]

Did you get udub?

[novel kraken]

i frankly dont know that much about either, only go by what i see online

[valid frost]

yeah same

[twin lantern]

yup

[valid frost]

Congrats!

[kindred nest]

bro i need this

[twin lantern]

tysm its what im considering the most

[novel kraken]

😭

[valid frost]

Id suggest to check out both campuses and the opportunities for what you want yk

it’s always hard to pick between two places

[twin lantern]

I mean like 3 major things for me that deter me from UIUC

1. Remote Location
2. Snow
3. People dont exactly have the rep and grainger sounds really isolated which might be better or worse

but yk thats just personal things that have nothing to do with quality of education

[valid frost]

yeah, valid

[twin lantern]

Yeah at least ive got till may to check

[valid frost]

I don’t rly mind location since I’m used to moving a lot

If I go to SBU, it’ll be my first time in a city

and a major snowy area

[valid frost]

I do my first tour this month 🙏

[twin lantern]

Id hardly call it a city
Nor a college town tbh

SBU is weird like that

[valid frost]

close enough ¯_(ツ)_/¯

diff environment than where I’ve been at least

[fossil seal]

When does uiuc come out est

[twin lantern]

Fs hope you like it

[valid frost]

8pm

[valid frost]

thank you!

I hope we all love where we end up going :)

[jovial citrus]

We think the website crashes again?

What are the odds

[valid frost]

🤫

[valid frost]

to be optimistic, 0%

~0%*

[twin lantern]

Yeah I liked it in concept until I talked to someone who goes there
Very different from online discourse lmfao

[twin lantern]

Might just be very slow loading instead of a full crash

[valid frost]

maybe

I might just log in an hour prior to be safe lol

[twin lantern]

I mean guys 4 hours id recommend watching a show or sumn to take your mind off lol
GL ill prolly check tmrw

[novel kraken]

2am for me lol but i need to be preparing for finals

so good enough excuse to make my brain study

[jovial quarry]

did anybody else get ece visionary scholarship

[uneven yoke]

oh for sure

[jovial citrus]

Imma take a nap bro 😭

Just got my ass whooped by an AP lit essay

[lament moth]

I’ll do

[valid frost]

We all do 🙏

[valid frost]

Yeah surprisingly

[novel kraken]

[valid frost]

maybe it was an accident xD

[novel kraken]

same

[vale trail]

let go gambling on waitlist

[vale trail]

i like my odds(lie)

[glad dune]

1 person is actually insane

[lament moth]

UIUC RD out weirdly early, vote on the pinned poll @everyone

[vale trail]

[crimson vapor]

omg let’s see thissss

[earnest adder]

common data set

WHAT

[earnest adder]

Last year 73,742 applied

[torn spruce]

M?!?(@(@[÷[#>#>@>@

WHAHFTTTTT

[earnest adder]

2794 offered waiting list

[vale trail]

looking at the bright side of things

[earnest adder]

so 2794/73742

thats like 4%

4% offered wailtist

[vale trail]

i think its rarer to be waitlisted than to be accepted

[limber bramble]

oh fr

[vale trail]

its an achievement!

im totally not tryna cope abit rn

[glossy frost]

LMAO 😭

[earnest adder]

42% admitted, 4% waitlisted

LMAO

we really are special

[crimson vapor]

Letssss goooo I got in

[glossy frost]

Deadahh?

[kindred nest]

Waitlisted bru

[vale trail]

its prob lower cuz i applied for engineering

for me

[edgy silo]

Bro fuck is the waitlist

[earnest adder]

the 42% is from CDS

[kindred nest]

Does the waitlist even move 😭

[earnest adder]

4% of us are on the waitlist

[jovial citrus]

I’ve been getting rolled quite bad and I thought my app was good

[vale trail]

i mean it wont be THAT far off

[glossy frost]

😭😭😭

[novel kraken]

what did you get in for

[whole field]

Wait did they ping

[earnest adder]

let me show u an AMAZING statistic

[whole field]

oh RD lmao

[crimson vapor]

Liberal arts

[kindred nest]

Ts more impressive than getting accepted 😭

[whole field]

UIUC is my opp

[crimson vapor]

[torn spruce]

Waitlisted me man

[torn spruce]

Waitlistedddddddd

AGAINNNN

[valid frost]

wdym rolled?

[novel kraken]

lmao

[earnest adder]

Last year only 1 offered admission

from the waitlist

Only 1

[novel kraken]

im surprised so many ppl got waitlisted here

[valid frost]

It’s okay 💙

[kindred nest]

Bruh

It’s wraps

[jovial citrus]

Gotten cooked

[thorn crater]

website finna go down again

[valid frost]

I feel that

[torn spruce]

All these unis edging me man

[valid frost]

I’m at 4/7 rejections 😂

[vale trail]

i guess i shouldnt have applied for engineering oos for uiuc

[valid frost]

might be 5, we’ll see

[vale trail]

what did i think was gonna happen

[valid frost]

Same lmao

[valid frost]

it’s okay bro, don’t spiral 🙏

[novel kraken]

applying for cs is a crime punishable by rejection

💔

[vale trail]

i mean i got smt to fall back on so it isnt as bad as my cornell rejection

[valid frost]

omg, Cornell rejection was so bad for me

I wanted it so much

[vale trail]

😭

same lol

[valid frost]

🥀

[lament moth]

Make sure to join #1448830292482719914

[vale trail]

but they do reject like what 70% of ppl?

[lament moth]

And vote on the pinned poll

[valid frost]

But I got somewhere I’ll be MORE than happy attending :)

[valid frost]

Pretty sure

[polar jewel]

is there apoll

[uneven yoke]

friend got rejected for cs

[novel kraken]

ya check pins

[kindred nest]

Do they take loci

[polar jewel]

where is the poll

[novel kraken]

how are you doing uiuc lover

[polar jewel]

unfortuntately they strongly recommend against it

[polar jewel]

waitlisted for 1st choice major

[kindred nest]

Got it

[novel kraken]

better than rejection!

[polar jewel]

nah gng, im waitlisted at 2 places now both being my first choices

its jus ggs

[novel kraken]

😭

[kindred nest]

Same

[earnest adder]

should i bother even accepting a spot on the waitlist

[novel kraken]

yes

[polar jewel]

they took 1 off

last year

[uneven yoke]

it’s fine man

[polar jewel]

its looking grim ngl

[earnest adder]

im not the one man

💀

[vale trail]

theres always a chance

its like gambling

[polar jewel]

im rly hoping im that 1

[novel kraken]

whats there to lose from being on the waitlist?

[kindred nest]

Nah chill I’m that 1

[torn spruce]

Exactlyy

[earnest adder]

idk am i taking a spot

from someone else

[vale trail]

if ppl buy the lotto u shld bet on the waitlist

[earnest adder]

am i taking a spot from someoen else if im on the waitlist or no

[novel kraken]

another thread from me to unfollow then

[vale trail]

lotto odds are tens of magnitudes worse than that waitlist

[polar jewel]

cya

[torn spruce]

Is there a better uni you would rather attend that you already received? If yes then ig the waitlist is useless for you

[novel kraken]

if you get an offer and dont accept im sure they'll give it to someone else

[earnest adder]

as of now i only got into purdue

[torn spruce]

But if uiuc is a top choice for you then

[earnest adder]

im paying instate there

if i decide to go

[torn spruce]

Oh same twinsies

[vale trail]

same

[lament moth]

Look up yield management

[vale trail]

sadly im oos everywhere

[lament moth]

That’s basically how it works

[earnest adder]

right okay

[vale trail]

so

😭

[earnest adder]

would u guys choose purdue instate or uiuc oos

[fading gazelle]

got in for math 🙏

[earnest adder]

i got W/L for math+cs

[vale trail]

depends on ur major

[novel kraken]

how much is instate cost

[earnest adder]

math+Cs

10 grand

[novel kraken]

wts

[vale trail]

oh well i think both are fine? idk

[novel kraken]

id highly consider it

[earnest adder]

yeah

[vale trail]

my impression only

[sterile badger]

is waitlist for engineering very unlikely admit?

[novel kraken]

10k you take that and run imo

[earnest adder]

it is my top choice rn ngl

unless i get into ivy

[vale trail]

honestly

[valid frost]

when you get into an ivy*

[novel kraken]

^

[earnest adder]

🙏

[vale trail]

they only informign us in late june 😭

for wl

[torn spruce]

Oh wow 10k

[earnest adder]

yep

[novel kraken]

cant lie i think its p wraps for my us apps though

[torn spruce]

Ikr its crazy

[earnest adder]

they froze tuition

purdue

[kindred nest]

I got 3 more for rd they better clutch up 🙏

[earnest adder]

since 14 years

[novel kraken]

what do you have left

[vale trail]

10 more decisions to go ahhhhh

[valid frost]

Why’s that?

[kindred nest]

Bu, bc, and Emory

[valid frost]

One more here

[vale trail]

so far for rs 2accept 1 wl this trend better continue

[novel kraken]

only applied to really good schools besides that

[torn spruce]

GA tech RD seems even more hopeless now

[novel kraken]

ga tech ea was insane for oos this year

[valid frost]

same pretty much—

[novel kraken]

i wish you luck

[valid frost]

maybe not the smartest idea 😅

[vale trail]

college apps is basically gambling so id say dont judge ur chances based on others decisions

[valid frost]

and only 7 schools lol

[torn spruce]

True

[novel kraken]

is ga tech today?

[earnest adder]

basically for me

gtech: reject
uiuc: waitlist
purdue: accept

[vale trail]

is prudue engineering oos more or less competitive than uiuc engineering oos

[lament moth]

In state only

[novel kraken]

ahhh

[valid frost]

what’re you going for?

[torn spruce]

Ga tech is after ivy day for oos 💀

[novel kraken]

lmfao

[torn spruce]

They think theyre special like that

[foggy hinge]

Less

[novel kraken]

hahahahaaha

[vale trail]

explains my outcomes ig

[foggy hinge]

Dm if u want admitted students discord

[vale trail]

but they both good right

[foggy hinge]

Yea

[burnt juniper]

Did it drop

[vale trail]

should have

[merry viper]

The poll is split 3 way exactly

[fading gazelle]

yes

[valid frost]

yep

[valid frost]

congrats on being accepted!

[paper copper]

Did it come out for everyone

[paper copper]

Did anyone get an email

[silk fox]

😭

[valid frost]

No email, but it came out

[vale trail]

well lets hope its like the class of 24

😭

[balmy raven]

I got pinged

[paper copper]

Did many deferred ppl get in?

[balmy raven]

Huh

[silk fox]

2024 was covid year 😭😭😭

better hope for a non deadly virus

[vale trail]

normla flu trust

[opal jewel]

unfortunately idk i heard uiuc applications went up this year to 84,000-ish from an ao at a uiuc event😭😭

[vale trail]

it very scary

[vale trail]

not surprised

every year or other year its record breaking admission numbers

[opal jewel]

im a townie and its like been 3 straight years of them running out of housing and campus somehow gets even more full every year so i wont be surprised if the acceptance rate drops again lmfao

[vale trail]

thats kinda bad management 😭

[shy python]

Rejected✌️

[paper copper]

.

[vale trail]

honestly i wouldnt be surprised if their accpetance rate dropped and they have quite a few ppl in wl

[haughty berry]

got rejected after deferral

[random tide]

Is uiuc worth it if I’m paying international tuition for cs? My family can afford it but just barely.

[plucky carbon]

got into uiuc

aero

[twilit ravine]

Rejected

Brooooo

I have like 0 acceptances

I'm so cooked

[plucky carbon]

dw bro

this was my first

[haughty berry]

The only acceptance I have besides safeties is purdue 😭

[fading bridge]

Got rejected I had zero chance lol i Knew it was coming 😭

[zinc yoke]

crazy early release

[vale trail]

which is great what 😭

[zinc yoke]

got in for infosci though which is easy major

[haughty berry]

true

[fading bridge]

how many people got in

[haughty berry]

I just wanted to have more options

[vale trail]

no stats rn

[vale trail]

fsfs

[fading bridge]

rip

i got deferred from gt but rejected for uiuc

[vale trail]

i mean its just out soooo

im guessing its imilar to previous years

[haughty berry]

admissions decisions are so random

[vale trail]

if not lower

[fading bridge]

crazy bc uiuc how higher acceptance rate than gt

[vale trail]

fs one can get rejected from ucsc but accepted to ucsd

[haughty berry]

yeah

[vale trail]

may be yield protection may be fit issues

too many variables

[haughty berry]

hopefully the rest of march will give better luck 🙏

[vale trail]

its just gambling atp

[vale trail]

fsfs

[haughty berry]

fr

[fading bridge]

it not fair why did get rejected

[vale trail]

honestly its relatively quiet here

[vale trail]

well cuz either yield protect or fit

no doubt u are qualified enough to attend

but alot of people are

[fading bridge]

yea your right

[somber star]

Uiuc doesn’t do yield

[fading bridge]

it maybe bc im ofs

[vale trail]

well fit ig

[haughty berry]

ig fit

[fading bridge]

i mean uiuc was gonna cost me 35k attend

[haughty berry]

also doesn’t help that I applied cs+x oos

[uneven yoke]

man I applied pure cs oos

it was over from the start

[vale trail]

prob didnt help that i applied for engineering for uiuc

[fading bridge]

i applied gies iwth 35%

[vale trail]

the acceptance rate is prob cooked

[wooden cape]

waitlisted

[haughty berry]

I had ee as a second major too

[fading bridge]

i apply for 1 major no secondary major

[lofty gull]

are decisions out

[vale trail]

imagine if this is the rates this year for uiuc lol

[vale trail]

for uiuc yes

shld be

[uneven yoke]

yes

[delicate beacon]

waitlisted FUUUUUCK

[vale trail]

alot of ppl are

at least in a2c

at least in this dc

[delicate beacon]

bro first UW now UIUC wtff

[fading bridge]

I got waitlisted from UW but rejected from UIUC]

make zero sense

[haughty berry]

waitlist has to be a soft rejection

[vale trail]

not really

sometimes it is sometimes it isnt

[fading bridge]

tecnically right you have wait after may 1
Which sketchy

[haughty berry]

yeah

[vale trail]

its more like rd 2.0

[haughty berry]

and only 1 person got in from wl last yr

[vale trail]

in some cases

[haughty berry]

yeah

[vale trail]

gotta wait and pray

[haughty berry]

someone else has to take me eventually

15 await

[valid frost]

what are your other options?

[valid frost]

Good luck!

[random tide]

Toronto and probably waterloo

[haughty berry]

thx

[valid frost]

oh wow, nice!

Ik UIUC OOS is ~69k, is international the same?

[random tide]

i think its around the same

maybe a couple thousand more

[valid frost]

ah

what major?

[fluid pagoda]

waterloo because of it's coop programs

[random tide]

cs

[lofty gull]

waterloo is great if you want to change how your id photo looks between your first and last year

[valid frost]

I think it depends on what you want

[uneven yoke]

common ball knowledge

[fluid pagoda]

uiuc is good but 69k is way too much when you can stay in canada and get almost the same quality and rigor of education as well as ton of connection, grad schools also love waterloo

[valid frost]

But I’d imagine Waterloo is cheaper than UIUC

[valid frost]

That’s what I was thinking

[uneven yoke]

yea

idk maybe u get aid tho

[lofty gull]

waterloo cs is quite strong, you'll be fine lol

and yeah co-op program is kinda op

[valid frost]

school facilitated work experience is a massive W

[random tide]

ty ty for all the advice

[valid frost]

enjoy wherever you go!

[slate cargo]

what time?

[lofty gull]

?

[valid frost]

UIUC already came out

[edgy silo]

How hard is it to get off waitlist

Me and my friend both got waitlisted for ce after being deferred

[uneven yoke]

insanely hard

[paper copper]

does waitlist mean they rejected to you major 1 and 2

[muted shard]

does honors college come with RD decisions?

[polar jewel]

compE?

@edgy silo ?

is ce, compE in ur terms?

[valid frost]

RD is out, so you can check

[lofty gull]

no, it's emailed separately

[somber star]

How did u even apply for honors college

Or is it a chosen thing

[left scarab]

ayyy i got in

[polar jewel]

@edgy silo i got waitlisted for CompE too

[edgy silo]

so like basically a soft rejection ?

[polar jewel]

its pretty much a soft rejection atp

[edgy silo]

rip

Bro I think 4 kids from my public school in the northeast got in ea and it was js me and my friend who got waitlisted

[polar jewel]

damn

i got deferred EA and then waitlisted, idt aanyone else ik applied

for compE

[edgy silo]

All of them got in for engineering but like industrial

Also I feel like waitlist so much bigggwr this time

[polar jewel]

they accept by major

so other engineerings dont matter

[plucky carbon]

whats the acceptance of international aerospace at uiuc

[polar jewel]

sub 20 fs

[slate cargo]

damn i thoguth uiuc was

[lavish patrol]

yo twin 💔

[slate cargo]

those rates arent real vro

u cant think of it like

its 1 out of 2 people

your probally being compared

to

10 of yourself

yk

lottery

[quasi sail]

Asian male suffering

[uneven tangle]

what does this mean dawg

literally

[slate cargo]

ur not being compared to all other applicants

your being compared to people with ur stats

[lavish patrol]

I had a feshman fill out my stars for me and didn’t even check it can’t even complain about rej

[quasi sail]

You got in rpi j see

[slate cargo]

LOL

lwk smart

[quasi sail]

So y wanna go to rpi

[slate cargo]

i get sooo much emails from rpi gng

i should apply

[lavish patrol]

they gave me hella aid just waiting for rds tho

[uneven tangle]

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.reddit.com/r/ApplyingToCollege/comments/132fjeo/uiuc_engineering_acceptance_rates_by_major_and/&ved=2ahUKEwjVzavItoyTAxWwjokEHSjtCEsQFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw27lhn56nWhz7T-zKS78qc7

[quasi sail]

I got in rpi for aero

Idk if it’s good tho

[lavish patrol]

it’s tuff

[slate cargo]

ur still being compared against

someone with exact same stats as you

[quasi sail]

I think case western or embry riddle is better than rpi for aero

Or Rutgers

Rutgers is tuff too

[slate cargo]

thats js how college apps work sadly

[lavish patrol]

I’m going for EE so idk

[slate cargo]

for example

[lavish patrol]

ew nj

[slate cargo]

they prob take 10 people from each group

[uneven tangle]

i dont understand your point
their average applicant for engineering does not have my same stats dude

[slate cargo]

[3.8-3.85] [3.85-3.9] [3.9-3.95] [3.95-4.0]

their not gonna take

all the 4.0s

they gotta do evenly

throughout

[uneven tangle]

what are you talking about?

why would they take evenly

[tough shuttle]

is uiuc out?

[slate cargo]

thats what colleges do vro

🙏

[uneven tangle]

by that logic they should take as many 4.0 students as 3.0 students

what

[agile yew]

Yooo my best friend got in

[uneven tangle]

not they don't dude

[slate cargo]

and

thats what they do

lol

[uneven tangle]

that's literally not what they do bro

[fleet anvil]

btw i got in w 3.8 and 32 act for gies but my ecs are outrageous so anyone here whos a junior and worried ab a lower gpa no worries

[slate cargo]

not 3.0

but probally

3.8

to 4.0

[slate cargo]

W

[agile yew]

When does aid come out for UIUC

[safe stump]

why tf did they release it early

[fleet anvil]

thank u masn

[slate cargo]

thats just how colelge apps workkk

[safe stump]

did anyone get their result early apart from me

[uneven tangle]

so you're saying i'd have an equal chance of getting into mit with a 3.0 and a 3.5 and a 4.0?

by your logic

if they take an even distribution

[safe stump]

???

[slate cargo]

3.8 3.9 4.0

probaly

[frank solar]

yeah there's a poll for it too

[safe stump]

wasnt it 7 pm ct

[slate cargo]

now it depends on your area

[frank solar]

wait arent u a sophomore 😭

[slate cargo]

if ur areas full of 3.0s

yes

u have as fair as a chance

if ur areas a 4.0

not rly

but in a sense

id assume since u got thsoe stats

[olive dagger]

I got in with a 3.5

[slate cargo]

so did others

in ur area

[frank solar]

ah rip i see

[slate cargo]

ye i js made a random ranges

but all gpas

fireeee

[rigid elbow]

Ts school is so overpriced oos
