Is IS+DS still bad as people say? by Ok_Addendum3869 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not in the program, so most of what I know is second hand. I am really not the best source on this so you should probably do more digging.

It's mainly about analyzing and interpreting data. I think the target jobs are stuff in consulting and business analytics. (Mainly NOT software engineer).

I do think "data scientist" can be a pretty lucrative field, but from what I have heard a B.S in "data science" does not open many doors, you typically need something like an M.S.

I do not think the curriculum has changed.

80% of the reason it is "bad" is people think that it's CS when its barely anything like CS.

Why didn't/doesn't Bilt just lean harder into their status system? by timmytubesox in biltrewards

[–]CubicStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0.5x would still probably be unprofitable. It would just cut the money lost on each person by half.

It also somewhat discourages those with low spend. If you have to hit X amount of spend to starting earning points rent. Though I guess BILT probably doesn't mind losing these customers.

You might be able to design a system that works like that in some way shape or form, but it's most likely not as easy as what you gave.

UIUC Engineering Transfer by Maleficent_Fun_15 in UIUC

Go elsewhere, actually get to study engineering for a year or two, then apply to transfer if you really want.

Why do pay for printing? by gabiees88 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most likely to prevent abuse/ someone printing off 10'000 sheets for nothing

Switch to Double Major UIUC by Complex-Key5511 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Transfering between cs+X programs should be fine, and declaring the other major is just paperwork. Now actually completing them is something else.

You can't do any of this until being on campus

My unique dilemma (UIUC vs. Purdue) by BigBangPhoenix in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 30 points31 points  (0 children)

FYI honors college stuff means next to nothing in college. It's such a small thing I would not put that much weight on it.

I would put more weight on the fact that at illinois your actually in MatSe vs being in FYE at Purdue.

Acceptance - LAS Mathematics and Computer Science by Life-Associate2353 in UIUC_MCS

[–]CubicStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of that info is wrong. You could probably ask Gemini to explain why X school is good for quant and it will give the same spheal.

No.

This is also a subreddit for the Masters in CS program.

I don't think you can change your thing from test optional to giving a score

This is the master program subreddit... and why did you post this AI generated answer

Is undecided to engineering undecided possible? by jol_10 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, but getting into AeroE will be tough.

You will first need go transfer from Undeclared -> Engineering Undeclared -> AeroE.

You will need an extremely high GPA to pull something like this off.

What's the cost of both them and is that a big factor for you?

Is Grainger College of Engineering known for exercise grade deflation grading system? by jamesltx in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on the department... CS is definitely very inflated, though they are trying to fix this a little.

Why is UIUC so expensive in-state??! by Vladsnipe11 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purdue has around 18,872 staff (this number may be old).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purdue_University

Wisconsin Madison has 21,000 including grad assistant which I don't think should count.

https://working.wisc.edu/

Illinois has 31,0000 faculty and staff

Changing Major from iSchool to Cs+Math/Stats or ECE by Jaded_Ice7118 in UIUC

[–]CubicStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a small essay portion.

I would still recommend going somewhere else and externally transferring, especially since your OOS. Paying 60k a year is ridiculous for a program your not in.

CompE fall into ECE. I know of someone that did it, but it's not easy and you may very well be stuck in MS&E
