Hi Michael (if I am not mistaken ),

Hearty congratulations! UIUC is a great school for CS. I'm still waiting for the good news from Urbana.
I guess you might wanna wait for UWisc for obvious reasons
Dude...you are light ages ahead of me...I checked out your profile and certainly hope you'll get admit letters from MIT, CalTech and Berkeley.

Cheers!

I am very mad at people that characterize as stupid/smart other persons/themselves based solely on a stupid and meaningless GRE score. Smartness/Stupidness cannot be judged until you get to know each person in depth, and certainly it cannot be measured by test scores. Other factors, such as organization, perseverence, modesty, responsiveness, honesty, effort, kindness, sincereness, and overall spirit are by far more important in evaluating one's intelligence!

Re: UIUC, UMN, Madison, IAState

gforce: I assume you found my website. Thanks for the encouragement, I hope you hear from Urbana soon as well!

bnm: I'm just not a big believer in standardized testing. The CS GRE was decent in that it tested a fairly broad spectrum of topics, but it's one of those things you try to trick, not something that motivates you to learn all of its topics. Maybe I'm wrong about that, I guess as I'm writing I realize that it was a pretty good test of my CS curriculum, maybe I should change my attitude...

On the other hand, I don't think I'll ever be a big believer in the general. I just don't see how a speed test of tenth-grade max math and dictionary retention is a predictor for graduate school success. But, others who are older and wiser do, apparently!

Re: UIUC, UMN, Madison, IAState

leymamd,

can you tell us whether or not UIUC provided you with information about their open-house...i.e. when they're having it?

Thanks

Cool Re: UIUC, UMN, Madison, IAState

I hate to sound suspicious, but what purpose is there in knowing?

Well, it seems like a lot of top CS schools don't believe in the general GRE scores either. What do you mean by the subject test being something you can try to trick? Is it possible to get the answers to those problems through educated guessing strategies? I always thought the subject GRE for CS was one test that really made you study the basics...but if there are strategies for just getting by, I'd love to know them!

no, there's no need to be suspicious. What can I possibly do with the information except try to figure out if I can still be admitted (i.e. if they are still making decisions)? Your call.

Re: UIUC, UMN, Madison, IAState

kamer: that makes sense, thanks for explaining. They have two times students can visit: mid March and early April. I really don't see why your chances would end at that point though, what if somebody rejects after they visit?

ChoBaka: I was coming to the same conclusion you did while I was writing the sentence about the subject test.
