Hello! I am a rising senior and I want to apply to UIUC as a physics major LAS (math LAS for secondary). This is what I have:
My GPA is 4.05 out of 4.5 and I will be retaking the SAT soon and I’ll be aiming for 1440+ with the math section score being almost, or at 800. I’ve got 800s for sat math lvl 2 and sat chem and I got 5s on AP Calc ab, AP Chem and AP Macro.
As for my grades, I have very strong grades in STEM related classes (especially in math and physics), and especially during my junior and for my upcoming senior year, my math and science classes are honors/ap. Only bummer is that I got some B/B+ average in non-stem classes like english and history.
For EC’s related for my major, I have a varsity letter from math league, and I have got accepted into NHS and science NHS (for my school, junior/senior status is needed to be qualified for such NHS programs). I have done some robotics that is outside from my school activities.
For other EC’s, I did some dancing at some dance school. I’m at peer mentoring program, which is a leadership club, and I have done some volunteering at Kumon.
This past summer, I have done research intership on computational biophysics at NJIT. (Which is great because this is basically what I’ll be doing at a university). When this senior year begins, I would continue on my research.
Based on what I have, will I get into UIUC (with physics LAS intended major)? If so, how strong are my chances when applying to EA?
