<p>has anyone here actually attended either UIUC or UIC? COMPETITIVE gpa and gmat scores needed? Any ideas on which would be better for grad student working at least part time during school. Housing??? PT jobs?? Even the culture of the school itself. If you’re willing, chance based on my current stats so that I know what I have to work on. I think getting info from people here who have actually been to the schools and gone through this whole process before me is a lot more useful than the BS info they give you on the website.</p>
<p>As far as tuition goes, there doesn’t seem to be too much of a difference. As of right now UIUC seems to be winning out in my mind, but anyone, feel free to try and convince me otherwise…or not.</p>
