<p>You have pretty good stats… but it’s not all about stats. Plenty of excellent students go to the U of I. It’s hard to “chance” you because quite a few factors play into the admissions process.</p>
<p>This is what the CHP programs says:</p>
<p>“Entering freshmen with high ACT/SAT scores and exceptional high school records are invited by CHP to apply for admission to the program. … Acceptance is based upon such factors as standardized test scores, high school class rank and grade-point average, evidence of creative and leadership abilities as displayed in extracurricular interests and activities, the strength of the application essays, and evidence of willingness to accept CHP challenges and contribute to the program. The Honors Program is open to students in all majors offered on the Urbana-Champaign campus, and an effort is made to ensure that each incoming class of Chancellor’s Scholars is broadly representative of the curricula of the University as a whole. We seek students who are strongly motivated not only to excel but also to make a difference at Illinois.”</p>
<p>Write a few strong essays and make sure you have great recommendations.</p>

CHP offers several advantages… If you are out of state, they may waive some of your tuition, you will have access to more research and stipends for your own, and be a part of a select group of talented students.
