<p>I'm a senior in a private extremely difficult all-girls high school (100+ students/grade) that doesn't do ranking. I have over 220 hours of service, an academic letter (4.0 two consecutive semesters my junior year), the only APs the school offers (only one), as many honors classes as possible (usually about 3/year), as many dual credit classes as offered (Psych, Trig, College Algebra, and Calculus I and II), I'm the president of video game club, the vice-president of my senior class, Co-President of USA Leaders (a city volunteering/leadership group), I'm the treasurer of Mu Alpha Theta, I've volunteered at hospitals since my sophomore year, and I participate in Orthokids (aquatic program for kids with disabilities). I'm in NHS and am/was in a few other clubs as a member (Art (Fr-Jr), Chess (So-Sr), Yearbook (Jr) ). </p>

<p>I'm looking to apply to Biological sciences in LAS. </p>

<p>I have done the ACT 4 times and am awaiting my 5th score on Monday. I've gotten a 27 ACT all four times, and science is usually my worst sub-score (best it's been is a 25). I've gone to so many ACT classes and speed reading classes, and I feel like I'm just exhausting my options. The highest sub-scores I've gotten in all four areas are as follows:
Eng (34) Math (29) Reading (27) Sci (25) </p>

<p>If I still get a 27 this time around, I'll send all my scores in but I'll try it one more time in October. </p>

<p>I have a 3.7 UW GPA and 3.94 W. I had a great Fr year (4.0 composite), bad So year (3.6-7 I was depressed), great Jr year (4.25), and am having a great Sr year so far. I expect at least a B in Calc I and II and an A in my Bio 2 Honors class.</p>

<p>I know it might be a bit of a stretch, but chance me!</p>

<p>You have a great chance of getting in. Don’t worry about your ACT score and just have fun with your senior year. Good luck!</p>

<p>Will be surprised if you didn’t get in UofI. 100% in!</p>

<p>October ACT is too late to be included in Priority Registration Period. You don’t specify a Major, which you would be wise to apply for since you’ll automatically be considered for DGS should you not be admitted to your major of choice. Send in all scores. Only the highest will be considered, and the writing portion of the ACT must have been taken on at least one. You will also place out of your rhetoric general requirement based on your English ACT subscore.</p>

<p>Quick question Balthezar. You said she would place out of the rhetoric general requirement? What does that mean? Does that mean she skips a class or what? Also, my highest act subscores are English 35 Math 33 Reading 34 and Science 29. Would I place out of anything?</p>
