I am currently an in-state junior who is set on UIUC, the business school in particular, as my number 1 choice for college. I am a white male. I currently have a 28 on the ACT (will most likely hit 29-30 during the April exams) and a 3.45 Unweighted and 4.25 Weighted GPA. I used to participate in multiple sports but quit them to instead get a job. I work as a telemarketer and have had the job for a year now and plan to keep it until I go to college. As for extra curricular’s I am a part of BPA and DECA Business Clubs along with Investing Club (I have made it to the state competition in multiple). I also am a member of National Honors Society and National Business Honors Society. As for courses I am taking virtually every business class my school offers along with a nearly full AP schedule. I have taken Accounting 1, Consumers, and Sports Marketing and plan to still take Business Law, Business Management, Small Business Incubator, and Accounting 2. As for AP courses I have taken AP Human Geography (3 on Exam), AP US History (4 on Exam), and currently am enrolled in AP Language Composition and AP Psychology. Next year I plan to take AP Calc BC, AP Gov, AP MacroEcon, and AP Environmental Sciences. I am a very good writer and expect to turn out a high quality essay for the school. Also if this matters at all my freshman year I had a 3.1 GPA, sophomore year 3.3, Junior year first semester 3.6, and am on track for a 3.8-4 unweighted this semester. I’m hoping the level of improvement I’ve shown throughout each semester will aid me in my acceptance to a school that generally is looking for slightly higher stats than I have to offer. Does anyone think I’ll get into the UIUC business school with what I have now OR if I get my ACT to a 29-30 with a 3.5 Unweighted GPA and a 4.35 Weighted GPA?
