<p>Current SAT score puts you in middle 50% range although in the lower half of that. Current class rank (UIUC uses rank and course difficulty to evaluate) is low -- business's middle 50% range has lately been in the top 10% to top 2% for class rank although course difficulty helps you. SAT IIs are not used to determine admission. Business college considers essays and ECs very important (and impressive ones can get in someone on the borderline over someone with higher rank and test scores but with mediocre essays and EC's) . Also, be aware its admission rate is only about 43%. You should likely consider it a reach but still worth the try.</p>
<p>Have you tried the ACT? Some people find it "nicer" than the SAT...It's more widely used in the midwest. You might want to look into it!</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>you have a very good chance of getting in
i'm also from MA, also asian and I got in with a 3.5unweighted 2010 SAT 34 SAT-got lucky
and a couple APs (6)
okay extracirriculars - business plan competition for hs students and some clubs, only 50 hrs of community service
decent essay and reccs</p>
<p>I'm going to be a freshman at UIUC with a undecided business major
however, I plan to transfer to engineering</p>
<p>Again you should have no problem getting in since its a very good match and you should definitely go because its a great school. For all it offers, I chose it over BC CSoM.</p>
