<p>I know I can get 700/600/600.</p>

<p>Varsity Tennis</p>

<p>I also plan on doing some sort of leadership activity such as teaching elementary school kids various basics about computers in order to get into National Honor Society.
This would also mean I would probably accumulate over 100 hours of community service.
I worked with ACTION (Against Cell Towers In Our Neighborhoods) to pass a bill in the Connecticut legislature. (although I did get paid :-P )</p>

<p>I am thinking Computer Science/Engineering, but perhaps architecture. </p>

<p>White. Middle-class.</p>

<p>I live in Connecticut. (large, low-middle income city)</p>

<p>Current list.

<p>I just want to know about Illinois here though, although any other guesses would be nice.</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

2

<p>yea probably, maybe.
dude, whats wrong with cell phone towers.....</p>

3

<p>because they're supposed to put the cell phone towers in poor peoples backyards. duh.</p>

4

<p>Not really. More like, along highways and such,</p>

5

<p>hell if it gives me better reception im all for it</p>

6

<p>Haha, but you can understand why people would not like a 100 foot pole in their back yard?</p>

<p>And it was also the fact that the way the law previously stood, the city had no control over whether it happened or not, it was the state who had that power.</p>

<p>But this thread isn't about that. :P</p>

7

<p>any other opinions?</p>

8

<p>yea sure you're an out of stater, they'll love you, more money for them</p>

9

<p>doesnt oos hurt me though?</p>

<p>93% instate is actually a small dilemma of mine.</p>

10

<p>officially, they say it doesn't help or hurt your chances of admission, but some in-staters like to misinterpret the news and claim that you have an advantage because you're getting financially screwed.</p>

11

<p>OOS and in-state are evaluated for admission the same -- you don't need higher stats if OOS. That 90% of those who are admitted and enroll are in-state does not mean OOS is evaluated differently. All it means is that close to 90% of all applicants are from in-state and 10% OOS -- thus they admit both at the same rate and end up with that percentage enrollment.</p>

<p>Nevertheless, UIUC is a reach for you, class rank is within 50% range for engineering, ACT (or SAT) is below it (last year's 50% range was 30 to 32 ACT; moreover, computer science actually has a somewhat higher range))</p>

12

<p>Oh, thanks.</p>

<p>Can you send me to a link where all of the info for engineering is posted?
I looked around for a bit and couldn't find it.</p>
