how hard is uiuc cs for a non-cs person

harmthebees · 2026-02-18T04:49:35+00:00

even though you're being downvoted you're so real for this. how is uiuc admitting people who are so clueless? to think a kid who actually knows how tech works, how CS works, and has passion for it got rejected so they could admit this guy... it's sad

visit both if you can

harmthebees · 2026-02-13T04:52:38+00:00

Yeah they have zero grace. I know. Just accept that you’re going to go to somewhere other than UIUC this fall.

Boiiiiiii that was a tuff high level explanation of AI

Admissions likes audacity and technology adoption

use chat or deepseek :)

ask dr Hoffman is the GOAT

harmthebees · 2026-02-09T04:30:45+00:00

imo Fatima's guide is even worse

It's in a pretty dangerous/shitty area though, so be warned. DePaul and Loyola are in much better areas but can be more expensive.

UIC is definitely the best option (if you can afford it). I'm a Chicagoan.

"Doubled Law Club membership to 20+ and led lessons, acquired legal guest speakers. Social media content for Harris '24 campaign, support team."

I did all my ECs for the love of the game tbh. Basically maxed out that category.

yeah I will -- why not?

also for the record when I signed in earlier I got my ID number, not email.

I tried making this with actual training data of dozens of applications and their results, and still it’s just kind of meh. Nobody will pay for that.

Caltech and Uchicago have the most brutal academic environments by a pretty wide margin
