@diyAuror I’m shocked. You’re way better than those I know who got in. Even if your essay wasn’t great, the other stuff should make up for it.
I’m certain there’s a better college out there for you.
Maybe if you show enough interest, UIUC will accept you as well

@Nevets04 @CautiousOptimist thanks, you guys! I’m happy to say I got accepted to CS. I’m relieved lol
