Chances at Illinois, Purdue and Penn state

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey, I'm your average student, and I reside in Maryland. I am also an international student because I have an A-2 Visa and my father works for the Bangladesh embassy. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what chances at these colleges are:</p>

<p>University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
Penn State
Purdue University West Lafayette</p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.0 unweighted, 3.7 weighted
SAT I: Reading 560, Math 670, Writing 590
SAT II: Not taken
Extra-curriculars: martial arts tournaments, cross country, track, tennis, debate team, chess team, best buddies, key club, amnesty international</p>

<p>I am also enrolled in the IB (international baccalaureate) program and a candidate for the IB Diploma</p>

<p>I wish to major in engineering, and i have a very strong science background (6.5 credits at the end of my high school career)</p>

<p>ive been stressing out for the past few months, any help would be appreciated</p>

<p>thank you</p>

<p>Penn State --> match</p>

<p>Illinoise --> slight reach</p>

<p>Purdue --> reach</p>

<p>Good for Penn State and UIllinois. Purdue admissions depends on how early you applied.</p>

<p>Err....isn't Illinois harder to get into than Purdue? Granted, I live in Illinois, but many people consider Purdue a safety (in the case that they didnt get into UofI).</p>

<p>Also, the middle 50% ACT for the engineering school is 30-32. I know for a fact that Purdue's is quite a bit lower.</p>

<p>Assuming your 1230 SAT is equivalent to about a 27 ACT, I'd say that purdue would be a match/slight reach (avg=29) and UIUC would be a reach (middle 50% 30-32). I'm not trying to be morbid or anything...but these are two schools I'm very familiar with/have visited.</p>

<p>would being an international student work for or against me?</p>
