<p>I think the only thing that could hurt you is your GPA, but your weighted should’ve been listed on your application. I also think your amazing ACT score will balance it out. UIUC puts a large emphasis on volunteering and extra curriculars which you excel in. Business is very difficult at U of I, but I think you have a very good looking chance of getting in. </p>

<p>I think you have a chance. Your ACT, ECs and class rigor are in your favor. However, your GPA is going to hurt you.</p>

<p>This may sound like an odd comment, but some believe the high school you attend can affect your possible acceptance into the more competitive colleges (business and engineering). If you are really interested in pursuing this, I would talk with your academic advisor/dean and see if they have stats for the students from your high school who were accepted into UIUC’s CoB. </p>

<p>Thank you so much guys for your help, and I did list my weighted GPA. For people from our school, the average stats are about a 4.0 and a 32-33, so we will see! Anyone else have feedback?</p>
