<p>Even though CS is one of the harder programs to get into at UIUC’s college of engineering with your act at the 75th percentile mark and your extracurriculars it would be hard for them to turn you down. I’m not sure what your class rank is but a 3.85 falls within range of the college of engineering and with your large number of APs I would say you are in. </p>

<p>Thanks a lot man. Makes me feel good!</p>

<p>Your ACT is great. You’re ECs are also very strong. I think you have a very good chance</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance, although CS is probably the most competitive engineering department.</p>
