Hello I am a junior in high school and I am wondering what my chances are to getting into Business school or college of arts and sciences. My GPA is 3.95/4 and ACT is 30. I am in service club, I run cross country and track, and I am in National Honors Society and Spanish National Honors Society. I take pretty much all honors and AP classes. I am just curious to know my chances at getting accepted.
nice grades but low act. bump it up a few points and you’re pretty much in
Someone from my son’s high school was accepted with a 28 this year.
I’m not good at predicting a person’s chances. There are many factors that have to be considered, one being ‘we don’t know what the applicant pool will be like next year.’
Business and LAS can have very different admission criteria. I can only speak to Business with any firsthand knowledge.
Here are my suggestions. Try to raise your ACT. Your GPA is solid if it is UW. Maintain high rigor in your senior year. Check the UIUC website for AP credits. Don’t just participate in ECs, make a significant contribution if possible.
Good luck!
Are you instate? If you are, your chances would be even greater. ACT could be a point or 2 better. Make sure your essays are checked by your teachers because the admissions office deeply cares about it. I got accepted into UIUC for engineering with an out of range ACT, but my essays were spectacular.
