<p>Honestly, I’d say your chance of getting in would be pretty low. What really kills you is your GPA. Also, U of I doesn’t take any recomendations, if they recieve it, they just throw it away immediately.</p>
<p>At a big state school like Illinois, grades and test scores are the primary factors in admission. Your SAT is alright, but your GPA is rather low. You’re a longshot, but I wouldn’t give up all hope. Good luck!</p>
<p>I currently have around a 3.4 UW. ACT score hopefully 30-32.
I’m only a sophomore now, but in a scenario where my GPA reaches 3.55, how likely will this make or break my chances to be accepted as a Pre-Law major and Poly-Sci Minor?
Thanks again.
Also, I’m top 66% in my school, but there are 1,000+ students in my grade.</p>
<p>CompSci is in the College of Engineering and is thus very competitive. You may have a shot for the LAS Mathematics & Computer Science major though (I am not sure if that one has CoE or LAS standards for entry). I hope you get in though - I’m from Connecticut too!</p>
