<p>Farily good chance you’ll get in.</p>
<p>any other opinions? </p>
<p>will writing a great essay boost my chances a lot? or is it not weighted that much?</p>
<p>i’d say you have a pretty good chance of getting in. although your gpa may be a little bit on the lower side. your act scores are up to par and your ecs are pretty good too. writing a good essay will help. from what i’ve heard though, is that uiuc puts more emphasis on essays only if you’re borderline.</p>
