<p>Don't need SAT II scores (can't remember if UIUC needs/wants ACT scores?), they don't look at teacher recommendations, and both essays are the same length. Otherwise, your stats look pretty standard for admittance. As for merit scholarships....ehhh...let's just say UIUC is not known for handing those out a lot.</p>

<p>My guess is none. The only people who were not AA or Latino that got them were accepted into Ivy League schools.</p>
