<p>GPA UW 3.6 W 4.0 , i hav a significant upward trend after a bad freshman year
ACT 31 (E:35 M:28 R:30 S:32 W:8)
will have taken 3 APs by the time i graduate
havent taken sat2 yet
plan on majoring in business</p>
<p>solid ec's </p>
<p>thanks!</p>
<p>looks exactly like me</p>
<p>if ur not top 10% in class, you will only be admitted as Alternate Decision (which means you got into U of I but not into their biz program)</p>
<p>y will i only b an alt decision? im not top 10% of class, due to a poor freshman year, im top top 20% close to top 15%</p>
<p>You should apply. 6MT just offered his opinion. Everyone has one. Your stats make you competitive. You’ll only know for sure, if you apply.</p>
<p>ic, i was jus surprised i thought my act was really competitive and my only downside was my gpa, but soph/junior year it was at a 3.8, i hope that really helps out</p>
<p>i had act 31
4.1 weighted gpa
4 ap classes</p>
<p>u of i is all about statistics, especially when it comes to the school of business, so not being in the top 10% it will be very very very difficult. reiterating, uiuc is all numbers and statistics - you’re in, just not in business.</p>
<p>(sources: experiences, hs counselor used to be on the board for uiuc admissions, know people)</p>
<p>alright, alright, im jus surprised how definite u are in that answer, i really hope to prove u wrong then</p>
<p>i hope you do sincerely, i was just being realistuic
i didnt like hearin it from my counselor, but hey good luck</p>
<p>thank u sir! i jus feel like my case may b different, the top 10% at my school is 19 kids, where most r going to ivy leagues, northwestern, notre dame, etc</p>
<p>It’s not just numbers, although they are certainly important. They look at the application’s overall appeal: GPA, Standardized Test Scores, Course Rigor, your Essays, and Extracurriculars. The middle 50% of applicants admitted to College of Business programs of study had ACT scores in the range of 28-32, so your 31 puts you in the upper end of that range. The mid 50% also had a high school percentage rank range of 89%-98%, so your HSPR of 83%-84% puts you below that mid 50% range.</p>
<p>You’re exactly right when you say that 6mtguy sounds overcertain. He does, and that is not helpful. Regardless of his certainty, the admissions process is much more that just numbers. Your upward grade trend will be looked at, as well as the profile of students and courses offered at your high school.</p>
<p>As I stated before, and will reiterate again, applying is the only way you will know for sure if you will be accepted into your program of choice (which you don’t explicitly mention above: Business is not an offered program of study). Apply directly to your desired program, continue to do well in high school, and possibly consider retaking the September ACT to see whether you can boost your scores even further. It won’t hurt to retake the test, since only the highest composite set of scores is considered for admissions purposes.</p>
<p>Applying during the priority admission period is also recommended, which is why I mention the September ACT above, since those scores will reach the admissions office in time for priority enrollment consideration.</p>
<p>Lastly, if only numbers mattered, your application could be handled programmatically. Those admissions committee reviews wouldn’t be needed, if statistics were all that mattered. Their existance is proof that the process is much more than mere numbers.</p>
<p>any other opinions???</p>
