<p>I’ll be honest bro, your SAT score is very low for UIUC. With that math score you have 1% chance. <a href=“BigFuture College Search”>BigFuture College Search. I guess my advice to you would be apply to other colleges in addition to UIUC.</p>

3

<p>Already have applied to others. In fact, I was accepted into Penn State (I’m still waiting on Minnesota, Maryland, Georgia, Delaware, and Temple). UIUC isn’t that big on my list, but wow, I didn’t know my math score put me at THAT big of a disadvantage. Hopefully they can look past that and at my other positive attributes</p>

4

<p>your math is pretty low but you have a TON of accomplishments and EC’s activities that really help and i also think that your race helps you and being out of state does as well. what college within U of I did you apply to?</p>

5

<p>I applied to the Liberal Arts college as Economics major with a pre-med concentration. Hopefully I can be considered for DGS if I don’t get into my major</p>

<p>UIUC has sat scores higher than UCB and almost same as Stanford.</p>
