<p>CR+M at 1280 is not very competitive at UIUC for an oos student. Try to bring up at least 100 points. It is a reach for you right now. Just make sure you know there are several Computer Science programs at UIUC. Besides in ENGR, there are two in LAS. For UIUC, you need to apply directly to a major (although you can do undecided too). Think about which program would fit you better before applying. Also, UIUC is very poor in FA for oos. Be prepared to pay $52k/year if accepted.</p>

<p>what do you mean there are 2 comp sci programs? </p>

7

<p>and wouldn’t CR+M be 1340?</p>

<p>You better study a little bit more about UIUC. There are 3 computer science programs at UIUC. The two in LAS are Math & CS and Stat & CS.</p>

<p>@billcsho ok but did u not see my 2nd try on SAT? would 700 math make the difference?</p>

11

<p>Yes, your second SAT has 1290 CR+M which is 10 point higher. They will look at the section scores individually but they do not superscore SAT or ACT.

</p>

<p>Math at 700 is still rather weak for engineering although not impossible.</p>

12

<p>@billcsho‌ yes I understand but u don’t think this is enough? for comp sci?</p>

13

<p>No. I don’t think that is enough. The mid 50 of CR+M for engineering is 1400-1510 for this year. You are 100+ below the 25%.

<p>I see… thanks for the input! @billcsho‌ but 1 more question… u think this is enough for business at Urbana or something like Stern Business school at NYU?</p>

<p>bump bump!</p>

<p>Did you read the link I posted above? You should see the admission stat for all schools at UIUC there. If you are from oos, aim at the 75% scores.</p>
