My admission chances?

<p>Just wondering what my chances were of getting accepted to u of i. I am looking to get into LAS for Biology. </p>

<p>ACT-28
GPA-4.1 weighted<br>
Rank: top 23% out of a competitive public school 900 member class
Extracurriculars that show involvement and diversity and that apply to my major...Varsity sports...etc...</p>

<p>Does it help that my brother is a freshman at u of i now playing football there?</p>

<p>Anything i could do to better my chances??</p>

<p>Thanks--Chris</p>

<p>yea you should be fine. nothing you can do NOW to help at all. and no it does not help because well <em>cough cough</em> since our football team is doing so terrible (how the hell could you be up by like 14 points and end up not scoring anything for an entire half) they don't even know any of the players.</p>

<p>"Does it help that my brother is a freshman at u of i now playing football there?"</p>

<p>not unless the skill got passed on to you. </p>

<p>your stats look like they put you pretty much in the middle. you should be fine.</p>

<p>What's your unweighted GPA, you should be fine despit the somewhat low rank.</p>

<p>unweighted is 3.1. I have mostly B's in AP Classes...thanks for the replies...Does U of I really take the essays into consideration? I might walk-on the football team but that wont help now i dont think...</p>

<p>^unweighted is a bit low but the ACT score should help make up for it. The essays are only really taken into consideration if you are borderline. Good luck!</p>
