<p>Does it help that I'm a legacy at U of I? I'm out of state, and both my parents got their PhDs from U of I and my mom was a visiting associate professor in the late '80's. Will this help? Here my stats:</p>

<p>white/female/tennessee/rising senior</p>

<p>GPA: 3.72 (unweighted)/4.1 (weighted)
I will have taken 9 AP classes, 5 honors classes, and 4 years of foreign language.
I have no idea what my class rank is, but its probably in the top 10% or very close to it.</p>

<p>ACT: 30 (33 reading/30 math/29 english/26 science)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Assistant Karate Instructor (been involved since 1996 and have done many things on regional/national level)
Sports Editor for my school newspaper
Student Council representative and committee member
Interact(service club)-head of various projects and treasurer
National Honor Society committee member
400+ hours of volunter work by time of graduate (Presidents Gold Award)
Distinguished Spanish 1 Student award</p>

<p>maybe maybe not. if it does u of i isnt going to say it. they donate lots and lots of money?</p>

3

<p>What would be your major? That plays a huge role in U of I admissions.</p>

4

<p>history/political science/pre-law-something like that</p>

5

<p>lol you'll auto admit</p>

6

<p>It doesn't even matter that you're a legacy, you'd get into the history or political science or pre-law with your scores and gpa and ECs.</p>

7

<p>UIUC's policy is not to consider legacy for admission. Your stats give you a very good chance of admission even without legacy.</p>

8

<p>IMO legacy still helps but UIUC isnt really a school where you would be like a hair away from getting in and needed legacy for the extra boost.</p>

<p>As to the OP yeah you are auto admit lol to those majors.</p>
