AA/Latino Male
Also accepted at St. John’s University, Mizzou, University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, Illinois State University, UW at Eau Claire, NIU, WIU (Honors College). Waiting for Syracuse, Fordham, and Denver.
I suspect that many of those who got on W/L will ultimately be accepted as even for in-state students, UIUC is not a bargain - some privates, with minor scholarships, are better schools and are ultimately more economical.

@navyblue123 Easier than CS COE or Math/Stats/CS, but still very difficult
@xxvivianxx Don’t go to DGS expecting to get into CS, they don’t guarantee transfer and there are stories of people with 3.9+ college GPAs and As in all intro CS courses getting rejected trying to transfer into CS. You’ll save yourself a ton of anxiety by going somewhere else.
If you are accepted into second choice CS+Math, and had first choice CS, is there any chance of getting into CS later? Are you waitlisted to CS?
