<p>Honesty, and sorry to be harsh, I don’t think you will get into any of the schools you listed except for UIUC, which you will probably get into. It is kind of a long shot for the others.</p>

3

<p>In at UIUC and Notre Dame. Rejected everywhere else. I just don’t see anything special about you =/ Sorry it’s gonna be a really tough admissions year.</p>

4

<p>I don’t know even about Notre Dame, those test scores might hurt you quite a bit.</p>

5

<p>I say in at UIUC and probably ND.</p>

6

<p>agree… I say in at uiuc. </p>

<p>Looking back on your earlier posts, your final destination is engineering? not english? That’s a big jump.</p>

7

<p>In at UIUC, Notre Dame is a match, those other schools don’t look good for you, sorry.</p>

<p>Oh crap, I forgot to include my composite for the ACT. I got a 30 all four times I took it. But that probably doesn’t change much, does it?</p>

<p>Thanks for your honesty though. I didn’t really have my heart set for the Ivy Leagues, but I was curious. How sure are we for Notre Dame? I sort of like the prestige with UIUC, but I would much, much rather go to ND.</p>

<p>I’m also Asian American. I know that might actually hurt me nowadays, but is there a special case with ND?</p>

<p>“Looking back on your earlier posts, your final destination is engineering? not english? That’s a big jump.”</p>

<p>I’m not sure right now… I’m torn between what I like and what will secure me a job. But yeah, I realize engineering is a completely different ballpark than liberal arts.</p>

<p>well i hope you applied to other places because those are all reaches for you, but i think you can get into Illinois and MAYBE Notre Dame, still, these schools have unpredictable acceptance policies and stats, so keep your hopes up</p>

<p>chance me back

<p>great shot at illinois… other than that everything else is a reach… including notre dame which has become really competitive… i would say that that is a low reach</p>

<p>everything else you are going to need something special in your application…</p>

<p>best of luck though…</p>
