<p>I have been stressing over these application essays and am trying to figure out how much effort I have to put into them.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Out-of-State transfer applicant (borderline sophomore/junior status)
Civil Engineering major
Hispanic
3.7 GPA , 3.89 in math and science
Ive completed the basic engineering core-calc,chem,physics courses</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
a couple of honor societies
Member of American Society of Civil Engineers
Member of Concrete Canoe and Steel Bridge project team</p>

<p>SAT scores:
not good, but wont matter if I get junior standing.</p>

<p>I have already written one great essay but I am still working on the "Why UIUC?" essay. based on what you see, do you think I need a great second essay?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>in. don't bother too much about the essays.</p>

<p>100% if your GPA is not from a community college, 95% in otherwise.</p>

<p>high gpa + some EC involvement + hispanic..
Unless your SAT and HS are ridicilously low, you should be fine. As you said, just apply for junior standing.</p>

<p>don't worry :P</p>
