<p>Hi, I am a current senior happy to finally start college apps, I just thought it would be best to know where I stand when I apply to U of I.</p>

<p>Prospective major: Computer Science(Engineering Dept.)
State: Illinois
Race: White
Family income: ~80,000</p>

<p>UW GPA: 3.79
ACT: 32
SAT: N/A
Rank: Top 5%</p>

<p>Will have taken 11 AP courses by the end of high school. Right now I have 6 down.
US Gov: 4
Micro Econ: 4
US History: 4
Biology: 4
Composition: 4
Calc AB: 5</p>

<p>Schedule rigor: Have almost always taken the most difficult option, whether it be AP or Honors. This only excludes two classes. One I have taken for interest, which is Engineering Concepts...the other is Freshman English, which I took the Honors class the following year.</p>

<p>EC's: When it comes to EC's I am always staying after school for something, usually cross-country or bowling. On top of that I am involved in math tutoring and have 87 hours community service. I know depth is important in EC's, so I can say I have a deep history with Computer Science as I have known Java since freshman year and Visual Basic since sometime in middle school. I have put this knowledge to use by publishing apps.</p>

<p>Weakness: I thought I should include this because I have a feeling it has a decent impact in my chances. My major is computer science, a major with a heavy amount in it. Looking at my high school it would seem as though math is my weakness; my ACT math is a 30 (composite is 32) and I had a C in Honors Geometry my freshman year.</p>

<p>Honestly is greatly appreciated, thanks a ton!</p>

<p>They do look at the match subscore, but due to the rigor of your courses and class ranking, I’d say you’re a match.</p>

<p>Your should be a match to high match considering in state. Your math score is your weakness link for engineering. This may affect your chance. In addition, that may affect your college performance in Engineering too.</p>

<p>Are there higher standards for entrance into the Computer Engineering program then other majors (Colleges) U of I is ranked in the top 10 in CE but there averages for admissions seems mundane. My son is OOS, 34 ACT, he will have 11 AP so far all 5’s, ton of EC, clubs awards ect.,4.0 unweighted GPA. Is this a good fit?</p>

<p>Disregard I thought I was starting a new trend. My apologies.</p>
