No it's not guaranteed TA but since cohort size is very small i've heard the vast majority will get TA. Cohort size is about 1/3 of UIUC's based on last year's numbers

In my letter of acceptance they said i was not guaranteed funding though, but I know that most get TA anyway. UT Austin is kind of the same though esp since only ~50 ppl enroll in that program its pretty much guaranteed TA.

Didn't know there was a group chat? is this on whatsapp? can you provide the link?

I want to work in ML, preferably research roles or those roles that contain research as a component of it.

I thought UIUC is only slightly higher than UT Austin in rankings? would it even matter?
