<p>I have taken the only 2 courses that my school offers above the CP level (both AP English), have a 3.96 GPA unweighted, don't know what it is weighted, my class rank is 3 out of 14 in a rural public school, and got a 33 on my ACT. My SAT, which I was only able to take once, was only a 1300. I still plan on taking my SAT IIs. I am also a QuestLeadership Semi-finalist and a QuestBridge Finalist Being out of state, should I get in, and if i do, what kind of financial aid could i be looking at (Not enough aid = can't go)?</p>
<p>1960 on SAT, not 1300</p>
<p>thats extremely good stats... should get enough money to make it around in-state fee</p>
<p>Your 33 ACT is higher than your SAT score anyway, so it doesn't really matter. SAT IIs are also not considered by UIUC, which weights your class rank and ACT score the most heavily. The good news is that UIUC is one of the few public schools that doesn't discriminate against out-of-state students in admissions. Financial aid completely depends on your financial situation, since they're pretty stingy with merit aid, at least for incoming students. I know for ECE, they offer scholarships ranging from $1000 to full tuition for roughly the top 10% of students after the freshman year.</p>
