Political Science

<p>hello. i've been talking to a few of my friends who go to uiuc about my chances of getting in. most of them are engineering majors and none know anything about my chances of getting into LAS with a poli sci major. </p>

<p>my numbers are as follows:
gpa: 3.67
class rank: 89.4%tile
act: 29
mediocre numbers but i have a ton of ECs.</p>

<p>based on this little information, do i have a good chance of getting into LAS Political Science? i have no idea how competitive that school is. i know business and engineering are hard as hell to get into, but no one knows anything about poli sci. maybe you can help. thank you for your time.</p>

<p>Your chances are good. Your stats put well into the middle 50% range for those admitted to LAS and political science is no harder to get into than most LAS majors. You can apply to UIUC starting Septenmber 15 and it is highly advisable that you do so before November 15 -- that is UIUC's "priority date"; UIUC itself says that those who apply and get all necessary materials in by that date will likely have an advantage over those who apply afterward.</p>

<p>The middle 50% range for UIUC LAS is 81%-95% class rank and 26-30 ACT, so your numbers are toward the high end of those ranges.</p>
