<p>i dont think my state can apply for EE now... it realli sukx...<br>
SAT is low around 16xx
gpa around 3.4
im in Michigan
took AP compSci junior yr but didnt tak AP test...</p>
<p>might get Java Certificate from Sun
Or SQL server Certificate from Microsoft
(these help?)</p>
<p>so any suggestion ? i want EE for major but i not sure if i can get in...</p>
<p>Your belief that it is easier to get into comp sci than EE is misplaced; both are in the engineering college and both are about of equal difficulty for admission. Your stats provide little needed info -- what is class rank and what is SAT score without the writing section (UIUC does not use that section to determine admission). Engineering's middle 50% range changes from year to year but is curently about top 15% to top 4% class rank and 29 to 33 ACT (about 1360 to 1500 SAT) and you can move those all up a notch for Comp Sci or EE (e.g., their ACT middle 50% range is closer to 30 to 34).</p>
<p>If your question is whether you can start as a computer science major and then later switch to EE, the answer is yes but you will need to have certain minimum GPA in your college courses.</p>
<p>What's the minimum state i needed to get into UIUC?? (comp Sci or EE)
there's another way....get into business then to EE???
im not the type of student who can study well... but i've started helping companies making websites....and earn money from that during my high school...
i've been working for like 4 years.... does that help??</p>
<p>and again
get Java Certificate from Sun
Or SQL server Certificate from Microsoft
(these help?)</p>
<p>"there's another way....get into business then to EE???"
This is a bad idea. The business school has recently become really competitive in admissions with some instate students with 4.0 gpas and 31 ACT getting rejected from the business school. I would say the business school is as compettive in admissions as the college of engineering if not more because they take fewer people.</p>
<p>your hard pressed either way, transfer is what i'd say. But you do have the added bonus that it's the same comparisson between in-state and OOS, whereas UMich isn't.</p>
<p>best of luck, you can always transfer to EE, i am because i couldn't afford my first two years.</p>
<p>The 50% range, class rank/test score, for business is close to engineering's. For 2006, the admit rate for business was about 45% while for engineering it was about 68%. In other words, the "business" idea is not any better than your first one.</p>
<p>drusba, this web page </p>
<p>says:</p>
<p>BUS 1240-1380
ENG 1310-1450</p>
<p>Does UIUC separate out admission by major within ENG, meaning EE is a different profile than ME, etc ? If so, where can I see the admission profile information per ENG major and CS major? Thanks.</p>
<p>Yes, ECE and CS are among the more selective majors among Engineering. They don't break down the admission profiles by Engineering major, though.</p>
<p>I think the business numbers on the link are absolute bologne.</p>
<p>Why do you say so, tennisfan88? They seem reasonable to me, since they're as selective in class rank as Engineering, but with lower SAT scores. In general, Engineering majors tend to have among the highest SAT scores because the Math scores are skewed upward.</p>
<p>they're basically the same as the mail in thing I got a year ago, ACT scores are exactly the same when everyone who applied to business knows that it was by far the toughest college to get in this year and yet they say the stats for those who were admitted were more or less the same. if you hear what a lot of people were complaining of, quite a few people with scores at or around the 50% did not get in. I'm just saying that those numbers give a very false assumption of how difficult business was this year.</p>
