<p>Hey do you go to MV?</p>

<p>You don’t apply to the college but to a particular program within it. I’d say your chances are fair. Match/Slight Reach</p>

<p>Just remember to apply early. I got in to ECE James Scholar Honors program with far crappier GPA (3.2 junior year) than you albeit with a better SAT score. Not to mention, I had zero engineering related ECs while you clearly display interest.</p>

<p>So I would say you have a great chance. If I remember correctly, UIUC doesn’t care about SAT 2, Superscore, or teacher recs. Admisson certainly doesn’t care about your AP scores either</p>
