Hi everyone! I am at a big ten school and looking to transfer to UIUC. I want to be closer to home and am not loving it as much as I had hoped. I am from IL. I have a 3.46 GPA and a 26 ACT. I was extremely involved in high school as well as my first semester of college. I am hoping to transfer in by spring semester. My planned major is special education/elementary education (idk if that helps). Thanks!
Have you talked or contacted the UIUC College of Education about transferring? Looks like the deadline for transfer applications is 15 Oct. Your advantage is you are an Illinois resident.
Here is a link to College of Ed handbook (in case you haven’t seen it) It does mention the "language other than English requirement for transfer students.

Good Luck!
