@KjInternational Nooope I’m waiting for Michigan’s decision :’(

Uiuc is a much better college than Umichigan for CS
@oreolover123

Am I the only one here who got rejected from UIUC :’(
@ub1997 @oreolover123

@KjInternational I’m also interested in mathematics and statistics. UMich has much better programs for both :smiley:
Also, UIUC CS is only slightly better than UMich CS i think

Maybe
What was your SAT I like ?

@KjInternational 2180 (740,780,660)
yours?

Maybe
Btw what was your SAT I score ?

@oreolover123 now I’m regretting my decision to not apply to UMich

Haha why? @ub1997 You applied to some great unis!

Mine was not that good
2040(760 M, 630 CR, 640 W)
@oreolover123

Yes but most of them are reach schools :stuck_out_tongue:
Especially for international students @oreolover123

@ub1997 well UIUC CS is great and maybe i’ll see you there this fall :smiley:

@KjInternational idk if this will make you feel better but- a lot of my (very) talented friends didn’t get in even though they were much more accomplished than me
Was UIUC your first choice?

Yess hopefully! If you don’t get into UMich :3 @oreolover123

Why didnt you guys apply to any Canadian unis? @ub1997 @KjInternational

@ub1997
I know
Many of my friends also got waitlisted but this was my 1st choice college :’(

@oreolover123
Not that much exposure as far as I know
And CS is better in US and Singapore
Not sure
As it is I have had plans for US only and am considering Singapore too

And one more reason might be that I have none of my friends applying to Canada neither do I know anyone there. On the other hand I have a lot of seniors in the US and Singapore.

@ub1997
What is your first choice university??

@KjInternational , hey I’m from Singapore (studied here for 14 years) and I may help with your predicament. Singapore has a huge Indian community no doubt, but I honestly believe you can’t beat education in the states. Sure Singapore colleges are ranked highly, but this does not necessarily mean it’s good. Sure the profs are world class, but personally I don’t think you would get the amount of exposure that you would get in the states, partly because why I want to head back to the states, for simple reasons
By not forfeiting education, I’m opening my horizons with a larger contact base. I’m not in any way negating sg unis in any way, just providing my opinions. You could look at the alumni networks yourself :wink:

But do make a decision based on your own accord, and also do some research on the unis, I wish you all the best
