<p>My dream school is the University of Illinois in Champaign. I am currently a high school senior at a public high school in Illinois. I am ranked 57 out of 655 (upper 10%) and my unweighted GPA is 3.74. However, my ACT is on the low side at a 25. I have also taken no honors or AP classes which can also hurt my chances. Do you think I have a change if I applied for DGS?</p>
<p>I think it’s a stretch. 25 ACT is well below average, and a 3.75 with poor rigor doesn’t even look that impressive.</p>
