UIUC CS Master情况介绍

楼主你好我想申请UIUC的本科cs，现在大一美本gpa是3.6，3.7左右，大一暑假回国实习。我担心的是UIUC需要的课这里可能没有，另外楼主能不能问一下大三转学cs的申请成功几率是多少？
Most students applying to the College of Engineering (the home of the CS department's biggest major) apply directly to the major.  This fall, U. Illinois received more than 4000 applications for Fall 2016 admission to our computer science major.  That's significantly more than any other department in the history of the university (beating the previous record of 3200, which was for Fall 2015 admission to CS), almost as much as the total for next two engineering departments (ECE and MechSE) combined, and more than twice as many as we got just three years ago.
Meanwhile, both the average GPA and average ACT scores of CS applicants has been steadily rising; both are significantly higher than the overall average for the College of Engineering (ranked #5 in the country).  We're not just getting more applicants; we're also getting better applicants.
Although the number of international applicants has dramatically increased over the last few years, these increases in quantity and quality persist even among domestic applicants, and even among Illinois resident applicants.
The number of new students we admit is also going up, but at nowhere near the same rate.  (Roughly 300 this fall, compared to roughly 250 three years ago.) We also admit a small number of transfer students, either from other majors or from the pool of undeclared sophomores, but transfers are even more competitive than direct admission.
The number of faculty in the department is also going up, but very slowly—hiring new faculty is a slow and expensive process.  And our building isn't growing at all.
So, yeah, CS at Illinois is extremely selective.
But this explosive growth is in no way unique to Illinois.  Computer science is becoming more popular everywhere.  As a result, admission to computer science has become more competitive everywhere.
Written Jan 3 •这篇uiuc教授的文章让我很担心能否被录取。
另外麻烦楼主了解一下大三转学，学校方面能不能提供奖学金，助学金呢？
不知道楼主有没有什么建议。谢谢楼主！

我觉得3.6/3.7这个gpa转学申uiuc任何工程专业都悬。把所有prerequisite上完。

楼主想问一下UIUC的CS硕士或者其他的工科硕士和教授套词对申请有帮助吗？听你说UIUC的课都偏科研，是不是招收硕士都是按博士的思路去招去选的，所以是不是要套磁呢

一直听uiuc的朋友说MP很难啊啥的。。所以MP到底是什么？

soga,多谢解答~

uiuc的介绍贴好少。看到一个好激动。
楼主，能问下你在uiuc选了哪些课吗。感觉一周才4-6小时会不会简单了点

LZ，UIUC Master in CS 的项目是一年的吧？课程设置很偏理论的吗？

感谢分享

就业倾向性很强的话 只在UIUC读本科是不是不够用？本科生就业真的有那么难？实习呢？

求问楼主，uiuc的cs项目托福卡口语嘛？？
