<p>Hi! I am a senior in highschool and applied to University of Illinois in September. I am beginning to get very nervous about my chances of getting in. I applied to the AHS college and am an Illinois resident. Here is some of my information.</p>

<p>Attend private highschool
ACT: 31
GPA: ~4.3
Grades: Got mostly As a few Bs all three years except for two separate semester classes I received Cs. One was AP US History, one was Honors Chemistry.
Essays were very good I think.
Extra curriculurs: I listed 18 awards/activities including National Honors Society, 4 year honor roll, Illinois State Scholar, AP Scholar, volunteer at a nursing home, employee at a nursing home, volunteer for summer baseball program for disabled children, and multiple sports and service clubs at my school.</p>

<p>However, I am very, very nervous that those semester Cs will exclude me from admission. Do you think my ACT, GPA, and extra curriculars will balance them out? Or will I be denied because of them. I know that U of I looks for all As, but will they consider that they were very challenging courses? Thank you for your feedback.</p>

<p>@carls2015‌ What major did you apply to?</p>

<p>I can’t see any reason for a denial, to be honest. Many kids from my school get into non-engineering majors each year with test scores and GPAs below you.</p>

<p>@emshadez‌ I applied to Speech Pathology & Audiology in AHS school. Do you think they all had straight As though? </p>

<p>@carls2015 Yes, I see no reason to worry.</p>

<p>@emshadez‌ do you think the Cs will badly hurt my chances of getting in? Or will my gpa and act be enough? I also have 18 extra curriculars and good essays to back it up.</p>

<p>You’ll be alright. Unless you’re applying to any engineering/comp sci major or certain business majors, the acceptance rate for Illinois is surprisingly very high</p>
