I'm interested in computer science, but...

<p>...I'm scared that my school rank/GPA will be low for UIUC's School of Engineering (I looked at the mid 50% accepted and they're at the top 5-7% of their class). I was wondering if it made sense to apply or not. If I am not accepted to the School of Engineering, am I completely rejected from the school? Also, is there a way that I could declare myself as undecided, if I am not 100% sure that computer science is the major for me? Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Gender: Female
Ethnicity: Indian
Graduating Year: 2010
High School: Competitive</p>

<p>Unweighted GPA: ~3.6
Weighted GPA: ~3.9
Class Rank: Top 20%

<p>ACT Comp: 33</p>

<p>APs:

<p>Extracurriculars:

<p>Thank you very much for any and all help!</p>

<p>dont worry i say ur in gpa overall is decent it just seems like your school is more competitive… just apply and dont worry</p>

<p>This reminds me of myself (Indian with a somewhat low GPA thanks to a ton of APs and Honors), and I’m applying to UIUC as well. </p>
