<p>Hi i'm a junior at a highly ranked northwest suburban high school (stevenson) and I am wondering what my chances would be to get in to u of i
Right now I am thinking about applying to either dgs, las, or bus. My dad died when I was 12 and my mom is an immigrant from mexico. My brother has autism so I also do some charity for autism speaks.</p>
<p>My Stats
GPA: now is 3.85 and should be up to 3.93 at end of the semester if my grades hold up
ACT: (highest in each)
C:32
E:32
M:32
R:33
S:35</p>
<p>Classes
Freshman: Freshman English-Ac, World History, Biology-Ac, Advanced algebra accelerated, and Spanish 2
Sophomore: Sophomore English-Ac, AP Human Geography (5), Geometry-Ac, Chemistry-Ac, Public Speaking, and Spanish 3
Junior: Junior English-Ac, AP US History, Physics-Ac, Pre Calculus-Ac, Spanish 4
Senior: Anatomy-Ac, Political Thought, AP Psychology, AP Macroeconomics, AP US Government, AP comparative Government, AP Statistics</p>
<p>Based on your stats, I would say that you would definitely get into LAS and business is a probably. Don’t apply to DGS. If you don’t get in to business or LAS (which i’m pretty sure you will), you will be automatically considered for DGS. I’m confident that you will at least get into the school.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input anyone else?</p>
<p>Your selling yourself short, you will do a lot better than U of I! (Not that there’s anything bad about it lol)</p>
<p>Really? Lol illinois i my dream school tho…</p>
<p>Apply directly to business. You are in the 75% for the B-school. It’s a fantastic option if you can get in.
Good Luck.</p>
<p>Since you are not aiming for engineering you should do yourself a favor and apply to NW and UChicago assuming you want to stay in state. Unless there has been a huge applicant inflation since I graduated your stats should be pretty safe for UIUC no matter the major.</p>
<p>my daughter is a senior at Stevenson this year and attending UIUC in the fall. She applied direct to business and got in with similar grades and an ACT just slightly lower than yours. I would say that if you have good extracurriculars and strong essay you are a lock. Might even be offered honors program.</p>
<p>lixuelai suggested considering Northwestern and Chicago. I would be cautious about taking that advice. First, if you are interested in Business, that is not an undergrad option at Northwestern or Chicago. Second, Northwestern is awfully close to home for you–probably 20 minute drive. I encouraged my kids to get away from home enough to truly be own their own. One chose Champaign, the other chose William & Mary.</p>
