[UIUC]

Whats the take on grad housing? I have a lease offer in Green-Goodwin apartments from UIUC grad housing for $680 month with cable/water/internet. Seems a bit overpriced but very conveniant location. Anyone know anything about UIUC grad housing - especially Green-Goodwin?

I think UIUC CS it is for me. How's everyone going about finding housing?

[Visiting]

I know getting a paid-for visit is pretty standard in engineering. I think its the same with many science programs. This all happens after being accepted of course.

[Computer Science applicants, where are you?!]

MaximKat and Vidman, could you please share your stats with us?

I am a computer science/chemical engineering double major at a top 10 public university for chemical engineering.

GPA: 3.8

GRE: 560V/780Q/4.5W

1.5 Years undergrad research in an engineering lab

1 engineering research paper, 3rd author

3 LOR, one from undergrad research adviser(in engineering), one from engineering professor, one from computer science professor

I am applying to both computer science and chemical engineering programs.

So far I am into:

UIUC PhD Computer Science

UMinnesota PhD Chemical Engineering

Did you receive a letter from Roy Campbell saying "bla-bla-bla... congratulations... bla-bla-bla... You will soon receive an offer letter that will contain more information regarding financial support and other useful information"?

Yep, same thing. Did any professors contact you yet?

I was accepted into UIUC Computer Science PhD two days ago.

Haven't heard back from UWashington, Cornell, UMaryland, Columbia, or Princeton.
