<p>What college are you applying to?</p>

3

<p>well i'm going to go undecided for the first year. i'm debating between law and business so i'm going to take the first year to figure it all out.</p>

4

<p>Apply for Business and switch out if you decide that you don't like it. Switching to LAS from Business is easy, but the reverse is not true.</p>

5

<p>ok, but what is my shot if i apply to business?</p>

6

<p>does illinois have anything special for minorities in the admissions process, like AA, etc.</p>

7

<p>You should get into business. Although you have a low GPA, I think that your ACT makes up for that.</p>

<p>Since you're from CA, are you going to apply to UCLA/Cal?</p>

8

<p>yes, i'm applying to both.</p>
