<p>Does anyone have any idea what the numbers were for the last few years freshman profile to get an idea of what they will go up this year? I am borderline and since all I do is think about when I get rejected; I also started to think... Since they are offering admittance to LAS if you get rejected from Bus / Eng the inflation would inflation be even worse this year?</p>
<p>Yes, that would push up the numbers slightly because many engineering and business rejects have stats above the LAS average. But I don't think it will be a significant difference because UIUC's applicant pool is huge. The mean test scores and rank might go up a little but the median would most likely remain the same. I don't know why you're convinced you'll be rejected. Your 29 ACT is above the LAS average and probably makes up for your low class rank. I don't think you're borderline.</p>
<p>^Actually, the middle 50% for LAS is 26-30.</p>
<p>I said his ACT was above the average, not above the 75th percentile. The mean ACT for LAS is slightly above 27 for those accepted and 26.86 for those enrolled (<a href="http://www.pb.uillinois.edu/Documents/frprofile/profp12.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://www.pb.uillinois.edu/Documents/frprofile/profp12.pdf</a>).</p>
<p>^what year is that?</p>
<p>It's from the class that entered in the fall of 2002. As the OP said, the scores will go up a little each year so the mean score for enrolled freshmen may be over 27 by now. His 29 is still above the average so he does not seem like a borderline applicant.</p>
<p>^It is above that. The middle 50% now is 26-30, so the median should be a 28, maybe a bit higher. This year it will also go up, at least it should with the new policy.</p>
<p>Go here and peruse through the charts; it does not yet have 2006 freshmen info yet but it gives figures for 5 years before that:

<p>^The 2006 mean ACT score for LAS should be atleast a 28 then.</p>
