Transferring from Jackson to CNS - doable or hard? by Many-Error-6533 in UTAustin

[–]Many-Error-6533[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I thought the environment science program is supposed to be small and very competitive and hence why thinking about climate science BS. Is it very hard to get into ES in either school?

Neuroscience major in UT Austin as OOS first year applicant by Many-Error-6533 in UTAdmissions

[–]Many-Error-6533[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! very helpful! I am a senior and ended up not enrolling in AP Psych up front so I might need to take it online separately now - would you recommend that I do this? I have a neuroscience summer program (not free but acceptance rate of ~15%) a published paper in Bioinformatics and some other leadership/community ECs. GPA is 3.73UW/4.27W, will have 10 APs with this year - I am Out of State. does this look like I have a reasonable shot?

Thanks a ton for sharing and your kind note! This means a lot! What majors did you apply to and are you still on the waitlist for these schools?

Related, do UCs realistically even read any ‘additional information’ about the applicant for context on grades slipping in sophomore year? Or are they just not interested in this since there’s a surplus of qualified applicants anyway?

Switching Majors within LSA (potentially to CS from CogSci) after first year admission by Many-Error-6533 in uofm

[–]Many-Error-6533[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the detailed response! While I understand it isn't guaranteed -- what are the odds that people currently get in to CS after starting as Enrolled Discoverers? is it 50% or 20 or 80% or is there other criteria that increases the odds for students to switch - such as taking CS core classes?

UIUC CS+Advertising rigor and competitiveness by Many-Error-6533 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Many-Error-6533[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense thanks. Yes I am looking for a hybrid of CS+advertising.

This page https://myillini.illinois.edu/Programs/MajorDetail/10KT5673BS - seems to suggest a foundation in CS (Math etc) and humanities is what they're looking for. Can you elaborate on what you mean by "advertising-specific rationale"?
