Uiuc Definition and 26 Threads

I am currently applying to undergraduate physics programs, and am deciding between the University of Virginia and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I am in-state in Virginia, so UVA is much cheaper, but after visiting both schools, I was really impressed with UIUC (and slightly...

I'm currently applying for grad schools in string theory with an interest in AdS/CFT but am open to fundamental formalisms in string theory. I was trying to decide on a few universities to apply to. I am currently considering University of California Davis and University of Illinois Urbana...

I'd like to know if anyone has any knowledge on the difficulty of transferring to UIUC as a math and physics major from a community college in Indiana (I'm not sure if the CC in Indiana part was relevant, just thought I'd add it in case). What should I do to have a competitive application? Thanks.

I have PhD admits from Purdue and UIUC for their programs in Physics and Biophysics respectively. I am having a tough time making a decision and with the 15th of April approaching I am having a tough time making a decision. I have a background in Physics and one year of research experience in...

I have a Master's degree in Physics and currently have PhD offers from the Purdue University (Department of Physics and Astronomy) and UIUC (Biophysics and Quantitative Biology Program). I am mainly interested in Computational Biophysics and Image Processing. How do the two programs compare in...

I have a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering and I am interested in CFD. I have an admit offer for MS in Nuclear Engineering at UIUC with RA and MS in Mechanical Engineering at Stanford without any assistantship. Which one is a better option to choose considering the fact that I am not a...

Hello! I was accepted into UNC Chapel Hill, UMDCP, and UIUC for physics in the fall. Can anyone lend some insight on which program would give me the best chance for acceptance into graduate school or what the research opportunities are like at each university? I currently live in NC which makes...

Hello, Grad school admissions are about over, and it looks like I will be choosing between UIUC, Cornell, or U Chicago for CME. I have research fellowships from Cornell and U Chicago, still waiting for financial details from UIUC. I'll visit UC and Cornell over spring break, but location...

Following my previous thread, it seems I don't have the background to apply to MS programs in mathematics directly since I was an undergraduate computer science major. If I need to supplement the courses I have taken in order to gain acceptance to a top program for an MS in mathematics, would...

If possible, pls mention in order of superiority: Univ of California- Davis Univ of Colorado Boulder Univ f Texas- Dallas Univ of Illinois- Urbana Champaign Univ of Wisconsin Madison Syracuse Univ George Washington Univ Univ of Rochester Univ of Connecticut Michigan State Univ...

Hello guys, i am international student from Peru, i have been admitted as a transfer student to both this universities for computer science. I was wondering if any of you had some insight as to which is better or the advantages and disadvantages of them. Thank you very much!

Hello fellow physoc associates. I have taken the liberty to start a thread here so that we can more effectively communicate our ideas for the laser-microphone. This is an open thread so the fascinating world that is the internet will also be privileged to be participating in our think-tank...

I want to transfer to U of I urbana champaign... but the thing is Im a sophomore at a community college right now, and I have a 3.1 GPA currently, and if i get a 4.0 this semester i will be bumped up to a 3.3. I want to attend U of I urbana champaign starting my junior year, what are my...

I have my profile typed up https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=520174", but that thread seems to have become mostly about stats, my interest here is in my chances at a couple of institutions that feel like reaches to me, but in areas that I have a lot of background in. So, can...

I'm a junior in high school and looking at applying to Purdue and UIUC. I was curious to see what my chances were of getting into either of these schools. I like physics and computer science, but am not sure if i want to major in them. GPA - 3.2 ACT - 30 Extracurriculars - I am a member...

Hello all, Does anyone know anything about copyrighting? I have been downloading courseware 6.0 from math everywhere from the UIUC website (there is a direct download link on the webpage). This is recently become an issue, should I be worried? The material costs money but my school provides...

I'm in-state for Rutgers and out of state for Illinois. Illinois will cost me $34,000 a year while Rutgers will cost me $4,000 a year. Illinois offers the Aerospace Degree while Rutgers offers the Mechanical with Aerospace Concentration + the BS/MS 5 year option. Should I go with...

Transfer requirements of UIUC?? I am attending kankakee community college in kankakee illinois. www.kcc.edu I will have an accociates in engineering science when i complete the whole curriculum. I am wondering what classes are needed to transfer to the univeristy of illinois. Alot of...

To be granted access to undergraduate physics resources at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, go to this website: http://www.physics.uiuc.edu/courses/ The websites have syllabi, practice exams, and lecture slides. Here is a list of the classes: PHYS 101 - College Physics: Mech &...

Hi all I am reaching the final stage of deciding which school to go for PhD in mechanical engineering. Though UIUC is having a big name in mechanical engineering, I think I am going to UCSD for the seemingly more interesting research there... Would it sounds very ridiculous or what? What do...

Assuming cost and location don't matter, does UIUC/Purdue have a distinct advantage over the other for electrical/computer engineering? Specifically I want to do something with integrated circuit design, mainly microarchitecture/VLSI design. Now I'm pretty sure that they're both ranked fairly...

Hello How would you rate the engineering graduate school of UIUC and UC San Diego? Do you think they are in the same tier in the US? I am not a resident in the US so I am not really sure how these two schools are like. Can someone give some comments?

I am currently attending a community college, and I have taken most if not all of my math courses that includes, Calc I-III, DE. Also I am currently taking electricity and magnitism, which is physics II here at our college, and have taken physics I(mechanics) previously. My question is, is...

Hi. I am sort of an idiot and only applied to one graduate school in physics, namely the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Most likely to do Condensed Matter, but I'm not completely sure. I just submitted the application today as a matter of fact. Anyway, I am obviously anxious because...
