<p>"well I had a 32 ACT and a 3.9 GPA weighted and got deferred....so......I dunno"</p>
<p>!! What program?! ::worried::</p>
<p>ya, i also want to know.</p>
<p>business, good god I hate this stupid thing that makes me write more or else it won't post my comment. All I'm saying is, apply early.</p>
<p>Eep. Okay- i'm applying to LAS. and early...but i'm retaking my ACT on Sept 16th and i was going to wait til i got my scores (surely before november 15th.)</p>
<p>Should i just apply now? And say i'm retaking them?
I'd like to have higher than a thirty to show them, however. Eeps.</p>
<p>And did you end up getting in, after being deferred?</p>
<p>Dude, i'm doing the same exact thing as you. I'm taking my test in chicago. I'm also gonna apply as soon as possible. Can you apply first, and then have it be sent to them?</p>
<p>You can, yes. And in the extra notes, write that you're taking it again- and give the date.</p>
<p>I'm just worried cause my grades aren't that good(3.3/3.4)
So i don't know which would benefit me more; and earlier app or a better test score.</p>
<p>I think better test score is, if you can garuntee it. Try doing both, like somewhat early, and better test score. Thats your best option.</p>
<p>That's what i was going for... Like, obviously i'm applying priority... And since my ACT is sept 16th i figured i'd get it back last week o sept/early october. And priority filing goes til Nov 15th... but is that early enough?
I'm almost positive i can do better;
I took a class, got a 29, took it again and got a 30...but if you took the best from both, i'd have 33/34ish.
And i didn't study for either of them,...which was stupid but i really don't know how to study!
For this one; i'm going through ACT books and brushing up on my math/science.
So i'm hoping i do improve... even if it's just one point, though... between a 30 and a 31 is a world of difference. I think.
Maybe not. Maybe i'm just being a massive neurotic.
eh.</p>
<p>Ya. I have two 28's now. Combined its one point away from a 30. With my private tutor now, I am scoring really high and getting about low 30's for most tests. I can definitely see an improvement. But, just to let you know, you shouldn't worry much about LAS based on what I have heard. Its not too difficult to get in.</p>
<p>Yeah, I don't see why you're so worried. especially for LAS, you'll get in with your score now.</p>
<p>It's my grades i'm worried about! ...Will a higher ACT even make up for a 3.34 GPA?(it improved steadily year-to-year, but still)</p>
<p>Your grades are good, not great but for LAS your ACT score is actually somewhat high. You'll get in, stop worrying so much.</p>
<p>Nnn. Thank you. It's hard not to, though. UIUC isn't even my first choice and i'm freaking out!! I'm just worried cause of my brother not getting in...</p>
