Chances for College of Business?

I’m currently a junior in high school and a resident of Illinois. UIUC is definitely my target school because it would be in-state, cheap, and from what I’ve looked at it has an amazing business program. My weighted GPA out of 5 is a 5.0 and unweighted is a 4.3, I got a 33 on my ACT in march with a 34 on the math section. My extracurriculars are decent, I’ve been a member of the band for 4 years and I am in a few other clubs. I also think I can write a solid essay for the app. From what I’ve listed what do you think my chances are of getting into the college of business at UIUC?

I think you have a good chance. Look into “shadowing” a business student in the Fall to see if you like the campus.

P.S. I would also apply to Indiana. They give good merit aid to IL residents…making the COA about equal to UIUC in-state. (at least with ‘high stat’ students, I know)

You’ll very likely get in. I had a 34 ACT, and a 3.6/4.0 GPA. Also an in-stater. There were people at my school who got in with 28s on the ACT.
