<p>Hi im a high school senior that applied early to engineering and got deferred. I have taken lots of honors and AP classes and go to one of the best schools in the state of IL. I have a 3.8 gpa and a 33 act. I thought I was in for sure or maybe Illinois just has ridiculous standards for a state school?</p>
<p>What about ECs? And how were your essays?
I had a friend get in ED with a ACT between 27-29, with an unweighted 4.0 or 3.95. She's only taken four AP courses, and I don't think any honors.
But then again, she applied to the school of education.</p>
<p>No, I think you were just unlucky the first round, and will probably get in.</p>
<p>I dont have a ton of ECs but my essays were pretty good</p>
<p>you will most likely get in, in the regular decision round</p>
