Chances for Chemical Engineering?

[stentorian]

<p>I am out-of-state (California) applicant who will to apply to UIUC for the Chemical Engineering concentration (from the Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering major).</p>

<p>SAT : 1980 (CR: 600, M: 660, WR: 720)
ACT: 31 (Math: 35, English: 36, Reading: 29, Science: 24)
Unweighted GPA (9-12): 3.75
Weighted GPA (9-12): 4.23
Honors/APs (9-12): Honors Chemistry, Honors Precalculus, Honors Spanish, AP Comp Sci AB, AP Bio, community college courses from summer and upcoming fall</p>

<p>ECs: Indian Vocal Music, Taekwondo, Science Club, WiSTEM (Women Interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Club, Speech and Debate, MATHCOUNTS Assistant Coach, Teacher Assistant for 4th grade Balavihar students, American Cancer Society Youth Council Chair</p>

<p>Awards: National Merit Commended (maybe? I got 209), First Place in the Annual Exam for Indian Vocal Music, Top Senator in two Congress Tournaments, Second Place for JETS Team (JV Division), Top Scorer in Taekwondo Tournament</p>

<p>School Type: Public (very competitive - 30-50 to UCLA, Berkeley, UCSD)
Ethnicity: Indian
Gender: F</p>

<p>*I will be retaking the SAT again in the fall. I understand that SATIIs aren't required, but my Math IIC score is 760 and my Spanish score is 720.</p>

<p>*Next year, I will be joining a program in which I will take all of my senior year classes at a community college instead of at my high school. The college goes by the quarter (Fall - Winter- Spring) system and I will be taking only transferable courses (according to the University of California).</p>

<p>Your ACT gives you a better chance than your current SAT so submit ACT and not SAT unless your retake improves. SAT II's are not required and they are not considered even if submitted. You don't give class rank but it appears it would be high and that with a 31 ACT gives you a very good chance (UIUC uses class rank to evaluate and if school does not rank it estimates).</p>
