<p>@anespor - Well the fact that the major column disappeared is what caused me to begin this thread!!
It just means that they’re probably done with most decisions & are now in the process of uploading them and that is very important work cause you don’t want to be mixing up decisions now!!</p>
<p>And my application status is complete has not disappeared & I doubt it does. I guess what even the Priority thread was discussing was the disappearance of the major line & not the applicant status line!!</p>
<p>@SMG - Ohh! So either way you get to do computers!! Nice! But what exactly’s the difference between the two courses/majors??</p>
<p>@Rays… Well if its of any comfort to you, I’m an international applicant too who’ll get his rejection from the engineering department in 4 days… so you’re not alone!! :)</p>
<p>@rishav17 Well basically Computer Engineering is more the hardware aspect of computers, and it’s seen as a combination of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, whereas Computer Science deals with software and programming. At least that’s how I look at it.</p>
<p>I’m an out of state applicant (from California) and I’m waiting anxiously for the decisions. I applied as a computer science major. Hopefully I get accepted. It will give me much more options when it comes for me to decide which university to attend.</p>
<p>As for me, UIUC has been my dream school for about 2 years now. I can’t see myself going anywhere else. I’m an OOS applicant. My GPA is strong, my ACT is right in their range, and my essays are phenomenal. I see no basis for them to deny me of admission into Computer Engineering. I hope I don’t end up as a tragedy incident. I apologize if I sound overconfident, but I have worked too hard to come this far only to be denied.</p>
<p>@SMG - Gamer?? COD?? As your name suggests…</p>
<p>But yeah, I think you’re just confident & not overconfident!! And it’s good to be confident!! Your basic stats suggest you should be a shoo in into UIUC! And you don’t need to worry, UIUC admissions are quite predictable & their greater acceptance rate helps too!! :)</p>
<p>That said, I’m still doubtful cause I didn’t write the essays too well!! I applied 30-40m before the deadline, so I didn’t have time!!
It’s probably my own fault since I decided to apply to UIUC only when I realized that despite it not giving aid to Intn’l, it still doles out scholarships later on!! :)</p>
<p>Well, yes & no. Haha !! I’d be equally happy to go to all of the colleges I applied to(except my 1 safety)!! And I didn’t EA/ED anywhere!! But I’d be able to go to UIUC only if I get a decent scholarship!! And with my admission chances itself looking bleak, my scholarship chances are almost nil!! :/</p>

<p>@Gulli4 - Well UIUC has one category of scholarships for OOS students & International Students!!</p>
<p>Now on the site it just says OOS, but I sent them a clarification mail & they said that even International students were eligible for it!!
Anyway you don’t need to apply separately for them!! :D</p>
<p>That said, it is extremely tough as very few Internationals get the scholarship!!</p>
:(</p>
