<p>UIUC doesn’t superscore. They will use the highest composite set of scores. You look like a match. What is your class rank?</p>

<p>Good chance that you will get in :)</p>

<p>My school doesn’t offer class rank</p>

<p>@Balthezar, An admissions counselor from UIUC came to my school a few weeks ago and she said they do superscore.</p>

<p>[U&lt;/a&gt; of I Admissions: Freshman Admission Requirements](<a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/apply/requirements_freshman.html]U”>Page Not Found, Illinois Undergraduate Admissions)</p>

<p>Performance on standardized tests.
Illinois does not have any minimum scores or “cutoffs” for making any undergraduate admissions decisions. Readers evaluate the results of the required ACT and/or SAT test results. The highest composite score is used for evaluation. Colleges will often evaluate results from the sub-scores (English, Math, Writing, etc.). If an applicant submits scores from more than one test date, the highest sub-score(s) will be used in this evaluation. However, Illinois does not combine the highest sub-scores from different test sittings to create a “super-score” composite.</p>

<p>Other test results such as SAT Subject Tests, Advanced Placement, or International Baccalaureate Higher Level examinations are not evaluated and not seen by the readers of the applications. Readers evaluate test scores in the context of the academic information in the application.</p>

<p>Balthezar is correct, U of I does NOT superscore.</p>

<p>you’ll still get in – superscore or not.</p>

<p>for those of you interested in my case, i found out earlier today that my application was “Deferred Until Final Review.” darn…</p>

<p>update:
i’ve applied as a cs major at every college/uni
Deferred from: Michigan, UIUC
Accepted to: UW-Madison, Purdue, Case Western, Minnesota, Indiana, Missouri, UIC
Denied from: none
Awaiting: Marquette
I’m thinking either Wisconsin or Purdue if i don’t get any more acceptance letters</p>

<p>I think you’ll still get in. I got in with similar stats.</p>

<p>31 ACT, about 4.4 weighted, 3.6 unweighted (4.0 scale).</p>
