<p>Well it depends on what program you are trying to get into, but I would say that you look to have a pretty solid application and are probably safe in any of the programs, especially if you bring your SAT up just a bit. However, UIUC is renowned for not giving much in the way of scholarships, so you are probably out of luck there, especially with the world economy being what it is right now.</p>

<p>Anyone else think this sounds funny? You will most likely be accepted into the programs at Illinois, business school is a maybe though because its so selective.</p>

<p>He would most likely get into the business school (if that is what he wanted) with no sweat. The business school only appears so selective because everybody and their brother tries to get into it, so you have a lot of crappy candidates. It is a good school, but selectivity doesn’t mean squat whenever someone clearly has better credentials than the average matriculant.</p>
