<p>In a class of 740, what would be considered a decent class rank to be considered for admission?</p>

<p>And also...what do you think the MINIMUM class rank would be? Is there a cutoff below which they won't admit anyone, no matter how good their test scores are?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>top 90 or so. basically what i was.</p>

3

<p>In a class of approximately 375-385, is a class rank of top 10% good enough? If my SAT is exactly 50%ile for LAS?</p>

4

<p>Isn't top 10% the basic standard for most state schools? I could be wrong but I always thought that it was... hmm, I think if your essays are strong you should be fine though it doesn't hurt to bump up that SAT score.</p>

<p>From the PR website, UIUC has 48% in top 10% and 99% in top 50%. I would think that there would be more since UIUC is a state school?</p>

<p>For LAS, the 25th and 75th percentiles are roughly top 20% and top 5%, so top 10% is a decent class rank. Engineering and Business are considerably more selective.</p>

<p>im in the top 35 percent, and got into aviation. my SAT scores were way above the 75th percentile for aviation though.</p>

8

<p>I was in the GASP top 25% and got into business so aim for 1st quartile and KILL on the ACT</p>

9

<p>No.. don't aim at first quartile. Just try your best and get in at least top 15% or top 10% to be safe.</p>
