<p>I'm very nervous, because UIUC is my dream school. Do I have a good chance of being accepted into the engineering department?</p>
<p>What’s your rank or decile? If in the top 10 to 15 percent, your chances appear to be excellent.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t calculate class rank. </p>
<p>Is my GPA low for engineering?</p>
