February 5th will be here in no time. Good luck everyone!
Ditto!! It’s my son’s first choice for computer science…counting down the weeks!
Are you oos? We are!
@s16s18s21s25 I remember seeing you at PSU thread. Congrats to your son for being accepted to a couple schools already!
Thanks! He’s got 3 acceptances so far. He did NOT get into COE at OSU though–they admitted him a exploration, which was unexpected. Hoping UIUC really values a one-day high test score as opposed to a super high GPA evidencing four years of hard work… 
Hope we hear great news soon!!
I am also applying to UIUC. The deadline is midnight CST on December 1. What does the midnight mean,…the midnight between November 30 and December 1 or the midnight between December 1 and December 2?
Please reply as early as possible as it is very urgent.
@Barcelona17 I believe It means 11:59 pm of December 1st.
Hey guys! Can someone chance me for UIUC? I am in state applying to mechanical engineering!
Weighted GPA: 4.05
Unweighted GPA: 3.67
ACT: 31 (30 English, 34 math, 32 reading, 28 science)
School does not have class rank because there are over 1000 in my class, but I’m guessing I’m in the top 15 or top 10 percent
AP classes:
Junior year: AP Calc BC (5 on AP test), AP English Language and Composition (4 on AP test)
Senior year: AP Physics C, AP Spanish, AP Macroeconomics
(ALSO TAKING CALCULUS 3 SENIOR YEAR)
ECs:
-I’ve been on two mission trips to Juarez to build homes for families and one mission trip to Guatemala, and also two to Kentucky
-Job at Chipotle
-Church youth band
-Spanish Honors society (10th 11th and 12th grades)
-Tri M Music Honors society (11th grade)
-Baseball for my school 10th grade
If I submitted my application 3-4 hours late, how screwed am I?
**5 hours late lol
@oreolover123 I think it is best to call admission office ASAP this morning. Good luck!
Chance me pls!
UW GPA: 3.7
W GPA: 3.99
ACT: 32C (35M 33S 31E 27R)
Pretty good essays
Lots of EC and volunteer work
2 leadership positions
OOS (MI) - I go to the number 2 public school in MI
Applied for Aerospace Engineering
Oh also 11 AP classes including senior yr
Was placed into double-advanced math starting from 6th grade so in 9th grade I took Precalculus Honors, then 10th Calc BC, then AP stats, then now Calculus 3
@Umichplspls Just for a perspective…did you get into UMich?
What other schools have you gotten into so far?
If you don’t want to list publicly, then feel free to pm me
@ChicagoSportsFn He was unfortunately deferred. Although he did not get in, there is still hope for regular admissions.
@AcceptableName Ouch. Seems like his stats would get him into UMich straight up. UIUC may be difficult then for aerospace eng if UMichplspls got deferred.
@ChicagoSportsFn The average high school UW GPA is a 3.9 and the average ACT for engineering is a 33. He fell just a little short on both of them. They are also unpredictable. I was just admitted for computer science through LSA with a 28 ACT.
Hi guys! 
I am a freshman in computer science in the college of engineering; feel free to message me if you have any questions! I applied by the Dec 1st deadline last year and I know how stressful the process was, so I’ll be happy to help! 
@bubbles12 Don’t suppose you’ve heard anything about the number of applicants for CS this year? S has a 35 C (incl 36M/35S), about a 3.7/4.1 with 11 APs and several strong CS ECs. UIUC is his first choice–he did the WYSE program last summer there. I watched the applicant thread last year and it looked pretty tough to get in. Any inside info/random gossip about applicant numbers? Thanks!
