<p>Currently a Junior from the Chicago area. The fact that I'm an Asian middle class female may hinder my chances. I'm interested in business and in particular accounting since they apparently have a good accounting program
ACT: 34 (will take again)
SAT: 2200 (will take again)
GPA: 3.925 unweighted, 5.016 unweighted (it's a wierd weighting system)
No rank at my school starting this year, but last year I was 1st (or at least tied for 1st), but did get two B's but probably still in top 1% (out of close to 800 students in my grade)</p>

US History - 5
As a junior I'm going to take AP Lang, AP Macro, AP Gov't, AP Stat, AP Physics B, and AP Calc BC</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to retake the sat or act.
Those are amazing scores, you should be in no problem.</p>

3

<p>I would look at Northwestern or UChicago if I were you.</p>

4

<p>Neither of those schools have undergrad accounting, whereas UIUC has one of the best in the nation.</p>

5

<p>I don’t think you need to worry about getting into U of I with your scores. Honestly, you could probably get into the college of engineering with those scores. So just focus on the essays and don’t screw up your grades.</p>

<p>You’re in no doubt.</p>

<p>I’m asian and middle class and I got into engineering with (much) lower gpa, same SAT.</p>
