<p>ps im looking for mechanical or electrical engineering</p>

<p>illinois doesnt take recs , gpa may be a little low and engineering is one of the strongest points of the university...are you applying EA or RD?</p>

<p>The middle 50% range for engineering is usually somewhere near top 12% to top 4% class rank and 30 to 32 ACT. You should thus consider UIUC engineering a reach. To have any chance you should apply and get everything needed in by November 15 (UIUC's priority date) and prepare very good essays.</p>
