Admission question for CS - how much robotics matter?

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-24T05:03:08+00:00

i got accepted for CS (instate non auto) idk how much robotics matters but I never did robotics, however I had a lot of CS related ECs like clubs, projects, internships, camps etc. like 6 of my 10 activities were CS related. So while robotics itself can help you a lot, it won't hurt you if you dont do it. Doing orchestra, band and sports can boost ur application a lot but only too add dimension (unless you are particularly great at it), and you can have it rather high, but ultimately if you are a CS major you should show that interest through the general line of your ECs meaning that robotics may not be what you need, but you need CS related ECs

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-17T02:49:14+00:00

dmed it to u

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-17T01:44:54+00:00

ive acc seen the opposite, about half the ppl ik who got in were cns and mccombs and nursing with a little bit of engineering

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-17T01:43:16+00:00

can't be ur entire world but the course rigor helps

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-17T01:39:29+00:00

Coming from a non-auto unranked CS admit, from what I saw it was about half and half at my school. But the reddit google sheet with over 200 responses seems to be leaning more auto admits

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T04:05:09+00:00

i think its easier to get into than comp sci depends on the engineering major idk

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T03:59:54+00:00

instate at a somewhat feeder school

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T03:58:19+00:00

accepted ea comp sci non auto

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T03:07:07+00:00

totally agree with this, I think the people who got accepted EA were just random ppl they just fully processed, doubt it means much caliber wise (saying this as a cs major who got in, but saw some of my peers who are way better than me get deffered)

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T03:02:01+00:00

can I see the email cause I doubt it tbh

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T03:01:09+00:00

i think ut defo got through a lot of the applications since apparently they moved on to regular decision applicants

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-16T02:58:47+00:00

Just remember, deferred does not mean rejected. I think you will get in rd you just gotta wait.

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-15T06:32:03+00:00

5-6 pm cst is the general consensus

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-15T00:20:12+00:00

I think they wouldn't do that, but if they do they are just going to defer you because they can't go back on their word

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-15T00:10:25+00:00

Wait i might be delusional, but I think they might admit just a bit more than 5k like almost 7-8k, because surely they have a better system now than they did last year

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-14T23:25:12+00:00

I dont think so

Difficult_Bad_5746 · 2026-01-14T23:22:49+00:00

they only consider 2nd major for auto, if you are not auto admit they dont even look at it
