UIUC Online MCS 邮件这是凉凉的意思吗

收到邮件说：Your application would have been accepted except for missing at least one of the necessary prerequisites.
然后下面介绍了一下我没考的Data Structures Proficiency Exam（踩着5.30的DDL申的，当时未阅读仔细对非CS学生的requirement，以至于收到邮件才意识到有这么一个考试...）

这个would have been就很虾仁猪心...就是被拒了呗..?

这个算是conditional offer, 只要考过data structure proficiency exam就可以录取了。

楼主，请教个问题。关于English Proficiency，我看UIUC官网上对于online master要求达到“full status ad ...

姐妹你好细致TAT 因为你的回复我重新看了一下那封邮件，有提到语言成绩的问题。原文是这样的：

The Department of Computer Science has carefully reviewed your application to the online Master of Computer Science degree at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. We perform a holistic review of all applications in part to ensure our admitted students have the necessary prerequisites to successfully complete the advanced graduate coursework of our top-5 CS program. Your application would have been accepted except for missing at least one of the necessary prerequisites.

For students that do not have the necessary prerequisites in a form we can verify (such as graded credit-bearing coursework), we have set up the Data Structures Proficiency Exam. Passing the exam with a B+ or better indicates that you have the necessary prerequisite material in data structures and algorithms needed to succeed in our graduate level CS coursework. Information about the exam is available at https://cs.illinois.edu/admissio ... s-proficiency-exam.

We have set up a three-MOOC specialization sequence, called Accelerated CS Fundamentals, to help applicants prepare for this exam. This specialization sequence is not necessary to take the exam, but is a helpful method to review (or learn in more depth) the material covered in the exam. Information about the MOOC specialization is available at https://www.coursera.org/specializations/cs-fundamentals

. Waral dи,Only for applicants whose native language is not English: Please review the English proficiency requirements for "full-status admission" available at https://cs.illinois.edu/admissio ... lication-materials.

现在看来第一段的at least one of 和最后一段也很灵性，当时的我完全没意识到语言的问题。。然而前几天我已经傻乎乎预约了下周的ds exam，现在只能当活马医先准备着考exam。。后续如果通过我再看看学校有无关于语言对offer影响的回复，再看是否有必要再刷托福吧。。好伤T T。。

无人回复好冷清... 可可怜怜的我来跟进一下后续吧

给学校发了邮件询问这 20 Fall 的申请是被拒了还是通过考试就可以被ad，学校部分回复如下：
You will need to take the exam and receive a B+ or higher on it to be admitted to the program. Eligible scores can be submitted for admission for Spring 2021, Summer 2021, or Fall 2021.
You will not need to reapply after successfully completing the exam. Your Fall 2020 application will simply be recoded for the current admission term.

大约就是今年fall是不太可了，但是在对应明年学期的考试ddl前通过考试，还是可以被（考虑？）ad的，并且不用再填网申。

也不知道算是好消息还是坏消息，叹气

什么exam呀？

什么exam呀？

就是针对没有修过数据结构、算法、oop的申请者，可能会需要参加一个数据结构的考试来衡量能力，具体可以参考这里 https://cs.illinois.edu/admissio ... es-proficiency-exam

噢噢好的，我现在是跨专业转CS，打算申2021的实体MCS。我是学IT的，所以在学校修过基础的数据结构和算法，但是不全，打算在coursera上系统的补一补。谢谢楼主！

我昨天了解这个exam的时候有看到说这个考试只是针对online项目的申请者，你如果申请on campus的外加有一些先修课我猜测都不用考试hhh 可以联系一下小秘具体问问
