Am I a solid candidate for UIUC with a 3.6-3.7 UW gpa (depends on what happens to the rest of this school year) and 1520 SAT? I have normal EC’s (president and officer of one club, piano, Stanford journalism internship, 100+ volunteer hours, tutoring, good letter of recommendation).
(My gpa was low because of bad mental health in 2019, which I’m uncertain if I should mention on my application because mental illness is typically stigmatized. I probably won’t mention it.)
I’m out-of-state. My high school (in California) is a feeder school and sends a ton of kids to UIUC. I’m not applying for CS/Engineering or an impacted major, probably business or economics. I’ve looked at all the stats online already, but still wondering because it really depends on what you apply for. Thanks in advance!
