<p>I hope I can get accepted to UIUC..</p>

<p>UIUC is going to be my first choice.. </p>

<p>but my GPA is about 3.4-3.5 (both weighted and unweighted)</p>

<p>and I did not take ACT yet, but I'm going to take it very soon..</p>

<p>I live in Illinois..</p>

<p>would it be possible to get into UIUC with 3.4-3.5 GPA??</p>

<p>It seem like almost all the people who got into UIUC has higher than 3.5 (I'm refering to the posts in this section)..</p>

<p>I hope I can get into LAS.. (if unlikely, as undecided..)</p>

<p>do I have any chance at all??</p>

<p>Well, it all comes down to your ACT. If you got a 30 or so on your ACT, it would probably counteract your low GPA. </p>

<p>Also, if you're a minority - that might help.</p>

<p>A minority other than Asian, sadly (which seems to be the trend in a lot of schools recently, especially with UIUC's high Asian student body already).</p>

<p>But yeah, your GPA isn't terrible. As Paerra said, an ACT of 30 or higher (or some impressive ECs) would mean you're in.</p>

<p>And good luck! UIUC isn't Harvard, it's not THAT hard to get into :) I'm sure you'll get in.</p>

<p>i had 3.27, and i got in</p>

<p>If you get a 30+ and aren't applying to engineering I'd say you have a decent shot</p>

<p>I had a 1460ACT and an unweighted GPA of about 3.2 and got into the College of Engineering. I'm OOS but I had some diiiirrrrtttyyy essays.</p>

<p>Also, the key thing is that the rigor of my class schedule was very, very high. Lots of hard classes, in other words :p.</p>
