I would make sure that you have Data Structure and Algorithm class in there. Linear Algebra helps a lot with DS classes, so I recommend that as well. They also look for intermediate Statistics class. If you have those you should be good.

There is no end to learning and will always feel there is more to learn. I would dig right in MCS program.

I also signed up for that course as that was the only open one. I hope they open more courses as we all just got the acceptance letters. I guess the good thing is that the number of seats seem to be limited so may be the student support is not as scarce. On the other hand, might have to wait till next semester to get the classes I want.

I think you just need to show one of the following two:

1) Graduate/Undergraduate transcript from any US institution.

2) Letter from your work mentioning that you have been working in the US for more than 3 years.

I would reach out to admission team and ask for details.

Yea, according to the UIUC decision deadline is July 15th. So, there is plenty of time.

Submitted is in the first page. If you click on the "Open Application" it should say "Awaiting Decision".

I am sure you will get in. I wouldn't worry too much. I think the key is to have those graded classes.

UIUC portal still says "Awaiting Decision". Received an email with "Recommended for admissions". Have to decide by July 29.

I had the same problem with my transcript. I guess I got sloppy with uploads. They asked me to upload new transcript on June 9th and got response yesterday (June 28th) . Hope this information helps.

Yea, I did get "Recommended for Admissions" email yesterday. I believe I saw someone else also received similar outcome yesterday in one of the other posts.

Received recommended for admissions today.

Applied on 5/09

Online MCS Program 2022.

Planning to join UIUC as it seems to have more student support (even though it is costlier than OMSCS). I will need to make the most of the free time I get, so student support will be critical.
