UIC admissions???

Applying to College
1

<p>Hi, I'm a student in chicago, IL. I am senior about to apply to college. I was thinking to apply to many colleges especially UIC. Am i able to get into UIC with the test scores, attendence, grades, ranks etc that i have. Ok, I have a 17 ACT score which is horrible :( I have test anxiety. I also have a 4.0 gpa. I rank top 30 out of 500-600 students. My attendence is 90% and above. I am over a limit of my service learning hours. I have earn some awards such as getting first place in the history fair at my school and also got superior and excellent ratings in citywide piano contest. I have wrote a personal statement, however i know that UIC does not require u have to do one, but i was thinking that it might look better if i did a Personal statement. Do you know what are my chances? Thanks for your time. </p>

<p>And BTW, i want maybe some of you guys and gals to review my personal essay. Send me a PM if you want.</p>

<p>You really should retake the ACT this fall - that 17 will hold you back. Take practice tests, hire a tutor, do what you have to do. Look at what is at stake: your admission to better schools AND possibly thousands of dollars in financial aid. The more schools that want you, the more aid offers you will have to consider.</p>
