<p>Hi, I'm knew to this cite. I just kinda would like some help. I'm currently a freshman at a community college in Massachusetts and I'm looking to transfer to University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for fall 2011. I think it might be a reach school but I would like a little input on if whether or not I should even bother applying. I really need all the help I can get.
Okay, here goes. </p>

<p>So, can anyone tell me if I have a chance? I just have no clue.
Thank you.</p>
<p>This post says it’s been read 25 times, and no one has replied. I guess I got my answer! Thanks everyone and good luck!</p>
<p>Don’t assume that lack of an answer implies the negative. Perhaps the members viewing your post are just not familiar with the transfer thresholds for U of I?. </p>
<p>Although U of I does not quite make the grade of some of the elite schools as ranked by US News, if you look at the rmost recognized nternational rankings that are published, as I recall U of I is considered in the top 20 or 25 Universities in the US (or perhaps the world). It is also a fairly challenging admit, even for accomplished students with highly competitive stats. So in my estimation, with your grades, you would have a challenging time. </p>
<p>But I am sure if you contacted the admissions office they would be happy to provide you with more solid data in regards to GPA of transfer students. Good luck though.</p>
<p>I’m not exactly Familiar with the transfer admissions but if that’s 1350 of out of 2400 then it will be a decent reach for you because your gpa isn’t super High to make up for it. But if the sat is a 1350 out of 1600 with ur gpa I think you would have a decent/good chance of getting in. Either way I think you should apply be you never know what the person reading ur app thinks so you may just get lucky enough and get in. So apply and goodluck I hope you get in. Also I believe u of I also has a few other campuses that are a little easier to get into so you should also look into those.</p>
