<p>Hi guys, I'm currently a junior at high school and will be applying early admission next year. I got a 34 on my ACT and currently have a 3.6 weighted GPA with many C's. This year I got straight a's however. Both my sister and brother graduated from the university and both sibs were on the bronze tablet. Do you guys think I have a shot. I know UIUC likes to see kids with high gpa's, but hopefully my strong showing in my classes this year will offset my previous years...</p>
<p>It depends. What is your desired major?</p>
<p>Im not sure will it help to apply undecided. I want to do a bio major probably.</p>

<p>Thanks, roderick. Also do you think the legacy helps much or sibling legacy rather?</p>
<p>I think you can get in, but I’m not sure how the admissions are now (if it is more tough). My GPA in high school was only a tiny bit higher than yours. I took SAT instead, and I am sure if it converted to ACT score…it would be a lot lower than yours. I had a plenty of leadership positions though…
I got into DGS and transferred into College of Business sophomore year</p>
<p>yeah im captain of debate and tennis. also i started a charity business which has reached out to thousands of different people. hopefully they’ll take that into consideration. also i have an internship lined up at my u.s. representatives office this summer.</p>
<p>I think your stats looks good to me. Good luck with your application!</p>
<p>i know people who came from very competitive high schools/geographic locations with worse gpa/act and got in.</p>
