<p>Well...since each college has their own admissions process, it would help to know which college you are applying to....</p>

<p>though you have solid stats for LAS, Agriculture and Aviation. Business or Engineering...harder to say.</p>

<p>If I attend LAS first, can I transfer to Business?</p>

4

<p>are you from england or something, where the hell else has student council</p>

5

<p>no....i'm not from england? and why the hell you ask? just chance me..haha..</p>

6

<p>you're korean..aren't you?

<p>International students have tougher time transferring compared to domestic students. Business is especially very competitive, and I must say it is very hard to transfer to Business from LAS. Mind that I said very hard, not impossible.</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>what if i apply to LAS with my stats above? will i get in?</p>

<p>Your estimated class rank is lower than usual 50% range but not completely out of the box. Also, if you have honors, APs or IB's that will help. Sat and ACT are comparable and will help with your low class rank and you are correct that UIUC does not use SAT IIs for admission. You are likely a reach but still should apply for LAS.</p>

<p>Business is the most difficult college to get into (it has a lower 50% range for rank and test score than engineering but accepts less than 50% in comparison to engineering which is usually in the high 60s; it is just a matter of more applying for fewer spots in business). It is also difficult to transfer into -- you will need to take the same business/ecomonics and other courses that incoming business students take and then you need a high GPA in those courses and overall to even be considered as a transfer.</p>
