<p>I am an in state Illinois resident. I have a 27 act, I know its not great but im not a great test taker, and that was the absolute highest I could get. GPA is a 3.6 unweighted. Class rank is top 13 percent. I have taken about 8 total Honors/AP classes. I want to be a chemistry major. I also have about 5 clubs ive been in including NHS. Please chance me, thanks! Oh and is it true that University of Illinois UC gives advantage to in state students???</p>
<p>Seems to be conventional wisdom that they give pref to instate, but the adcoms I’ve heard claim that is not the case. In any case, if there is a preference I think it is safe to say that it isn’t a very big one.</p>
<p>Alright, but can you chance me?</p>
<p>Sorry @evanm137 but I don’t have the inside scoop on selectivity for Chemistry.</p>
<p>27 ACT is on the low side but within the median 50% range for DGS, while your class rank is right in the middle of the DGS range.</p>
<p>Maybe talk with your high school counselor as he/she probably has experience with similar situations.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
