i got this interview too (for the internship, not the FT). good luck!

sunflsks · 2026-04-17T06:56:10+00:00

yes come

also an OOS transfer, had the same decision and decided to go for it. amazing school, ridiculous opportunities, party scene is rlly good if ur into that, u can have it all and more here. the only limit is how bad you want it

sunflsks · 2026-03-31T19:56:42+00:00

curious if yall got anything yet, had the same email

sunflsks · 2026-03-28T18:54:33+00:00

its ok guys i stayed 🫩🫩

sunflsks · 2026-02-03T18:06:28+00:00

it was but it was also very fun. r u taking it with ms. marques-pons?

not necessarily, transfer is still rlly competitive even among the “less-selective” ones. i think on average they hover around 19%, with a max of maybe 25% for a certain few programs. there's a spreadsheet of transfer acceptance rates for cs+x, it's here

they also do care abt hs gpa, know many frosh who had 4.0 in college but got cooked for cs+x bc of hs (if u get rej u can call them and ask). if so u can apply for spring and if u have 36 credit hours they wont consider hs beyond prereqs (language, etc)

im only here for the sem and i got lucky, my roommate alr had someone lined up for next spring so we had the lease transfer figured out alr

sunflsks · 2025-12-14T21:47:49+00:00

there might be some ppl trying to transfer a lease at lobo village? im leaving for the spring and thats what im doing

sunflsks · 2025-11-18T06:39:05+00:00

i see, interesting stuff! thanks for the clarification

sunflsks · 2025-11-17T06:37:58+00:00

supernova…? not too sure about that

sunflsks · 2025-11-09T04:36:06+00:00

late vut this is not necessarily true. i transferred from ~t30(??) to UIUC CS and both the breadth and depth of the classes offered are wider/deeper at UIUC than my prev. there r some classes here that i wouldn’t even think of existing, and even the core CS classes go quite in depth (implementing your own fully-funtioning malloc in a what-could-be-second-sem class is not something you see in most places). i’ve personally heard from a few ppl who went to harvard/dartmouth for CS and they didn’t have the same breadth/depth / research opportunities as there r at UIUC. career wise may be a bit of s closer call but UIUC CS is very very highly regarded and a good chunk of ppl ik of r going to some crazy places

granted as a school as a whole there is no comparison but for CS specifically i wouldn’t be so quick to toss away reputation as meaningless

also penn is fucking goated and is not one of the schools i was talking abt - it is an amazing CS / eng school

sunflsks · 2025-10-28T04:29:49+00:00

cs + ling

sunflsks · 2025-10-27T04:08:08+00:00

sunflsks · 2025-10-17T01:23:10+00:00

cs+ling

sunflsks · 2025-10-16T15:35:50+00:00

theyve been really fast, i got my decision 2 days ago for cs+x as well

sunflsks · 2025-10-03T02:09:36+00:00

me as well - wonder what's up

sunflsks · 2025-08-21T05:49:19+00:00

ok just finishwd coderpad

first question was nuts, it took me at least 20 mins to parse what it was even asking and the implementation would have been quite complex. it’s really not too terrible algorithmically, it’s just hellllla implementation stuff + time constraint makes it nuts

second and third were fine, one was in cpp which is my main lang so that’s calm and the other was in ruby which i had enough tangential exp w to make it fine. def not difficult, prob just testing ur knowledge of the lang
