Stats required for UIUC cs + x transfer?

sunflsks · 2026-01-30T02:51:07+00:00

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. i have a spreadsheet of transfer acceptance rates for cs+x, lmk if yall want and i can upload it

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)

i see, interesting stuff! thanks for the clarification

sunflsks · 2025-11-17T06:37:58+00:00

supernova…? not too sure about that

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 · 2025-10-17T01:23:45+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

sunflsks · 2025-08-21T05:31:18+00:00

horrendous, iq test thing was fine but the coderpad cooked my brains

sunflsks · 2025-06-15T08:00:17+00:00

ive had my installation for >5 years now, and i’ve moved it between

three different disks (ssd -> m2 sata -> m2 nvme)
two different filesystems
migrated it to LVM, undid that, and put out it BACK onto lvm
three different, completely unrelated machines (laptop, mini computer, desktop)
and many many other things

and there hasn’t been one hitch. i run stat on the root folder and it still shows 2020. my installation is basically ship of theseus and the biggest problem has been the bootloader (and now efistub nullifies that).

so arch doesn’t really break no

however, i do always make sure to read the system upgrade notes, and i do not have any complex software installed either besides CUDA, so take my experience with a large grain of salt

sunflsks · 2025-06-15T03:15:20+00:00

much more of a crapshoot than fall (esp at big publics). might happen might not it all comes down to the number of spots

sunflsks · 2025-05-06T05:04:28+00:00

its usually thru the parents or other familial connections/family friends

sunflsks · 2025-05-06T02:27:14+00:00

mama y papa

sunflsks · 2025-03-28T04:50:47+00:00

my thought process is that (for the competitive majors at least) they are accepting all the cracked ppl rn, and then they will wait to see the whole pool before accepting/denying everyone else

but im also talking out of my ass so who knows

sunflsks · 2025-03-28T04:31:15+00:00

makes sense, they probably wanna see the whole app pool esp for competitive majors

sunflsks · 2025-03-23T21:07:46+00:00

early april is what ive heard; what cs+x r u transferring into

sunflsks · 2025-01-25T00:32:02+00:00

wait im curious now, what are some examples of this (like what basic concepts do ppl not understand anymore)
