<p>UIUC would be a reach for you. Your SAT score is very low right now for UIUC although your GPA is just slightly below average. Also, UIUC does not accept recommendation letters no matter how good they are.</p>

<p>@billcsho‌ Thanks for the info, I had no idea about UIUC regarding recommendations. </p>

<p>@AlexAggs I did not know it either until we visited the campus and attended the info session there last year.</p>

<p>^^^ Why are you promoting this site so much that I saw it like 10 times today already. It is not one of the most popular site for that purpose and there are many similar sites for that purpose.</p>

<p>I would agree with the other posters that UIUC would be a high match/low-reach if you could work on improving your SAT score. Your ec’s definitely look pretty focused on and in line with your intended major and congrats on that gpa. I don’t know much about SIT, College of New Jersey or U of Rochester but I can say that you are likely a high match for U of Maryland if you raise your SAT score. UMCP is becoming increasingly competitive and while your gpa is definitely in the upper percentiles of admitted students, your SAT score is not (also it’s always harder when you’re an OOS). Otherwise, you seem to be in good shape. </p>

<p>I think all of those are either matches or safeties in all honesty, with your only challenges maybe coming from UMaryland or UIllinois. I wouldn’t even call those reaches, though. You’re set. Chance back!</p>

<p>@SimplyOverdone‌ Thank you for the feed back. I was wondering if I could get into TCNJ to be honest lol</p>

<p>@VineyardVinesS‌ Thank you for the feedback. I agree with you on how my challenges are Maryland and Illinois considering my SAT score is very low.</p>
