Hi, my S was admitted to UIUC CS during EA. One of the biggest advertising point for the CS major/school is internships, co op or summer jobs. Since we are OOS and have not visited the school yet but it seems opportunities are plentiful and the process is very well established. We have following questions. Is it still true as advertised? Is it hard or competitive to get one? How about after completing the freshmen year? Are those available mostly for top students and harder for average students? I would like to get comments from current student or student’s parents. Thank you for your input.
