<p>hey, sorry but i'll just get to the point. so i'm a junior in CA, who is curious about my chances. it's been a rough last 2 years, with my mom having to move away and my granmother being really sick (both in my essay) so in anycase, here's my profile:</p>

[ *] SAT IIs: Span: 770 Lit: 710
[ *] AP's: Span: 5 Eng: 4 US Hist: 3
[ *] Weighted: 3.53 (to give you an idea of how hard my courses were, i got a 3 out of a possible 4 rating on difficulty that my school has)
[ *] ECs listed on app: football, track, clubs
[ *] Job/Work Experience: did finances for a family friend's company (receipt stuff) and also had a job at a toy store lol

[ *] 2 summer courses at a local comm. college- pysch and creative writing, both got A's.
* also got 4 awards at our honors convocation, but not sure that means much really. </p>
<p>UIUC admissions looks at your SAT/ACT score and class rank after junior year. The middle 50% range in LAS for 2007 was 26-31 ACT and 84th-96th percentile class rank. SAT II scores are not considered for admissions.</p>
<p>so i emailed the admissions officer, and she said that they look at rank and not at gpa. so i estimated my own rank b/c my school doesn't rank and it's about 33%+.</p>
<p>im_blue; hmm, thats interesting because for me, my high school ranks however, they rank off of unweighted GPA. So, someone with zero AP classes (i have a friend who is in this situation), has a 4.0, and is effectively ranked tied for 1st, just as another friend with 6 AP classes has an UW GPA of 4.0. My gpa for example is around a 3.7 UW, but 4.06 or so, weighted. So i assume they recalculate class rank? or something?</p>
<p>what's your gpa unweighted?
i got in with a 3.2 gpa uw 2170 sat oos no ECs. and i'm a dirtyy mexican.
I think if you're uw gpa is above 3.0 it won't hurt ya with that ACT score</p>
<p>You have a good shot, but I really recommend you apply to the college you want. Business is hard to get into, and you competition will increase within the university. So, apply for business and on the application, make sure to check the box that says you'll go into undecided if you don't get into business. </p>
