Chance Me

<p>Im wondering what my chances are getting into University of Illinois Urbana Champaign for Computer Engineering</p>

ACT: Composite 30, Math 36, Science 31, English 29, Reading 25, Writing 10
(retaking it in Sept to try to increase scores)
Class Rank: Top 10% /722
Sat 2: Math 800, Chem 760
Extracurricular:
Intern at a Solar Panel Manufacturer Junior Summer
Lifeguard/Swim Instructor from Sophomore Summer to Now
Volunteered at Elementary School Junior Summer
Library Volunteer Junior School year
Varsity Swimming all years of high school
Club swimming for 9 years</p>

<p>Thanks so much</p>

<p>You would be a low reach for UIUC Computer Engineering. But there are also Statistics & Computer Science as well as Mathematics & Computer Science majors in the LAS of UIUC that you may consider. For UIUC engineering, the average GPA is near 3.9, class rank top 1-9%, and mid 50 ACT is 31-34 (vary with programs).</p>

<p>UIUC engineering: Reach
UIUC LAS: Match</p>

<p>Are you sure UCSD wouldn’t be for you?</p>

<p>Note that UIUC admit you to specific program. Being in LAS not necessarily means less competitive. ChemE (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) is one perfect example. I think the Computer Sciences in LAS would also be a kind of competitive.</p>

<p>youre a reach right now, because of your ACT scores, but if you can get it all above 30 you have a decent shot</p>
