@derpro How did you prepare to get 800 in SAT Physics?
@InfiniteLibrary Use Barron’s and Kaplan books
does anyone have the link to the official Facebook page
Does having no second major improve your chances of getting in with a first major?
@vtanboy29
No it doesn’t, your second major only gets looked at if you are denied from your first, also you automatically get considered for General Studies (aka undeclared, can transfer to your major later) as your third major if you’re denied from both.
EDIT: Do not go for General Studies if you’re trying to get into CS, Bioengineering, or Mechanical Engineering, since it’s insanely hard to transfer to these majors.
EDIT 2: @renwa all the facebook groups for “Class of 'XX” are either inactive or full of spam. As much as reddit is garbage, I recommend r/uiuc since it’s mostly spam-free and decently active. However once you get your school email, join https://www.facebook.com/groups/groupsatuiuc/ since the groups there can be quality at times.
Is there a particular time when UIUC releases their decisions (on February 3rd) based on previous years or whatever?
2 years ago it was around 3PM CST
I applied for the Math and Computer Science joint major in LAS and want to know if it is as competitive as CS or other engineering majors. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about this?
From most to least competitive:
CS Engineering
Math/CS and Stats/CS
CS+X
However the differences are marginal at best, all three are still very competitive.
Has anyone been admitted into the Business school?
@stillwaiting2021 I was!
@spronkle99 Hey could you please posts your stats?
@stillwaiting2021 here’s the post I made back in this thread
“Accepted Business Unassigned!
New SAT: 1420; 700 Math, 720 R/W, 24/24 Essay
Old SAT: 2020; 710 Math, 700 Writing, 610 Writing (lol)
GPA: ~4.27 (GPA system changed a lot at my school, but lowest grades received were a 3 A-'s throughout high school)
EC’s were decent, almost all have long term commitment and/or leadership
Essay was okay.”
16 more days for us RD applicants to get our decision… and it’s my birthday that day… :-SS
I hope a UIUC acceptance letter will be one of your presents!
I still cannot believe the decisions are about 2 weeks away. I hope I am accepted to AE.
Aw how nice of ya ^-^ @ByteZz 12 days… time seems to be flying by. Dunno if that’s a good thing or not!
