I would take the classes and talk as much as you can to the students that are working admitted students day to get their thoughts on housing and whatever else you really want to know.

Admitted students day at SU sealed the deal for my son, who is now a junior there and couldnât be happier! Itâs a great combination of play hard, but work even harder. TONS of school spirit and lots of opportunities for motivated students.

She forgot to check SU sports of the last 5 years 
So D30âs K-8 let the kids out early for the eclipse, and she successfully lobbied us to drop everything and drive up into the path of totalityâwhich was extremely cool, as it turns out, despite us having to navigate back roads to get around jammed up highways (at a certain point we were just picking any decent-looking road that seemed to head northwest!).
Poor S24, though, could not miss any more class periods due to the rules of his Senior Project and the day he will miss for a college visit. I think he is a little bummed.
But I am just thinkingâIceland or Spain in August 2026!

Hi @nat3755 I found this UCSD report at https://ir.ucsd.edu/third-week/index.html where if you go to Undergraduates by Major, you can see the spread for Fall 2023 students by College.
I selected Division Jacobs School of Engineering and Department âAllâ as I was not sure what your S24âs engineering major is, but you can hone in on that major to see what the distribution of undergraduates by residential college.
I hope this helps your S24.

Husband saw that Cuse has the number thirteen recruiting class for football this year⊠fingers crossed they can finally turn it around!
My daughter and I took a trip to Florida State a week ago and she loved it. She started with 17 schools and has been whittling down the list for months now. Her final two were Ole Miss and Florida State and both offered full tuition scholarships and Honors College. Ole Miss has been in the lead for her for six months now, and she has been torn on who to choose between the final 2 for the past week. She kept saying âI like them both equallyâ. So here is what she did: She went to a website that virtually flips a coin. Heads was Ole Miss. Tails was FSU. It came up heads. She then said out loud âThat is not what I wanted to happenâ and for the first time realized she actually did have a favorite between the two. So she ignored the coin flip and picked Florida State. I find that story to be strange and also hilarious, but I swear it is true. Very releived to have this process finally over!

Us too! We only got to 90% and thought it was cool but not nearly the same. We couldnât make the timing work for travel along with other plans for the month. Hopefully Sydney 2028!

I love this - we are in a similar place with two âfinalistsâ that son canât seem to decide between. Also seems a little done with this process (what a long year!) and seems uninterested in getting/looking at any more information (I always want more information in making a decision so am having a bit of a hard time with this)!
Iâm going to suggest this to him and see if this elicits his true feelingsâŠ

Good luck to your son in making his final decision. One of her scholarships had to be accepted or rejected by the end of April, so my daughter was starting to feel some pressure in making a decision. Many schools seem to push for a decision by 5-1 it appears.

What major are they accepted to at each school?
With RD results now out, take our 2023-2024 Decisions survey and let us know how your student fared!

Econ for both schools
Thx
IME itâs more difficult to transfer in to Gies at UIUC whereas Wisconsin sets aside a relatively larger portion of business admits for internal transfers. UIUC also sets aside Gies spots, but a large proportion of those are taken up by DGS students AFAIK.
I would encourage your student to talk to someone at each school and ask what the process is (after reviewing it online) and the success rate.
Hereâs the Gies intercollegiate transfer info: Intercollegiate Transfer (ICT) | Gies College of Business | UIUC
And Wisconsin: Current UWâMadison Student Admissions | Wisconsin School of Business

What is DGS & Afaik students? Thx
DGS is the undeclared major that some UIUC students apply to (or are assigned to). AFAIK means as far as I know.
