<p>UIUC’s engineering program is very selective, and it is very tough. Your GPA seems to be below average. What type of engineering do you want to major in, because if you want to be a chem e, it’s a bit different because it isn’t in the college of engineering, but rather in LAS.</p>

<p>what if it is 3.4 GPA? and either mechanical or electrical or aerospace or industrial? whatchya think?</p>

<p>I would not be optimistic even with a 3.4 to get in the Engineering school. You also might look at agricultural & biological engineering through the Department of Agriculture. They have concentrations in off-road equipment, food & bioprocessing, soil & water resources, and bioenvironmental engineering. I have heard Ag Dept is friendlier to community college transfers.</p>

<p>Being URM should help. As a state school, they aim to serve all communities in IL, so you’ll be compared to your peers to an extent. Write a good essay.</p>
