Hello!
I wanted to create this thread for any CS + E questions out there, as it is the first year that UIUC is introducing the program.
To start off:
Does anyone know how CS + E will be acceptance rate wise compared to just CS (through Engineering) and other CS + X programs?
Until it happens, the acceptance rate and the middle 50% ranges will not be known, and determining an acceptance rate (rather than middle 50% ranges) is always difficult because many having a CS major as their first choice are admitted for their second choice and thus not shown as officially rejected for anything. I suspect that the middle 50% ranges will be near what it was last year for Math and CS (32-35 ACT, 3.6-3.95 unweighted GPA) and Statistics and CS (32-35 ACT and 3.54-3.95). Economics by itself (30-34 ACT and 3.6-3.92 GPA) has typically been higher than LAS as a whole
