<p>Hello all! This is my first post here and reading through these chance threads made me want to make one. I'm a rising senior
Warning: Barely any EC's (That's where I'm screwed!) </p>
<p>Schools I'm interested in (plan to go into engineering or CS): UIUC (really want to go here), Iowa State, Purdue, UW-Madison, UMinnesota twin cities, U of Michigan, any other engineering schools recommended would be great!</p>
<p>UW GPA: 3.776
W GPA:4.025
Top 8% in the class (I think!)
All honors math classes, All honors science classes- A's in all of them
AP's : Calc BC (4) had a B both semesters, this year I am taking AP Stats, Physics, Environmental Science, and this non-AP Multivariable/linear algebra class my teacher set up
ACT: 28 (plan to get 30+) (Reading is lowest, math and science highest)
I can get some Letters of Recommendation from teachers/coaches</p>

I don't know if this helps or not but my father graduated from U of I at Chicago and my brother and sister are currently enrolled there.</p>
<p>-I realize my EC's aren't so hot I was lost in high school and didn't really think they were important as long as you got good test scores and grades.</p>
<p>I could use all the help I can get guys! Thanks!</p>
