<p>Your SAT average is around middle 50%, and as for GPA, it really does not matter unless your school don't provide class rank. Your GPA seems very high though. I'd say you have a decent shot at the engineering college.</p>

3

<p>Ah, you might want to improve your SAT math score though (not that it is an implication of how well you will do in engineering, but I think engineering college focuses more on math score than verbal score)</p>

<p>Thanks.
I am ranked 20/420ish. i will be moving up after this year.
weighted GPA will be about 4.25</p>

5

<p>You have a fairly good chance. I wouldnt worry too much.
Although try retaking the SAT and make sure your application goes out smoothly.</p>

<p>UIUC is my dream school...but however my gpa isnt that great...3.4 or 3.5ish...but i have an act score of 30. what are my chances of getting into LAS if i also have taken several honors classes and is invovled with extracurriculars?</p>

7

<p>uiuc doesn't care about GPA, they care about class rank. at least top 16% or higher for LAS</p>

8

<p>okay but what if im not in that high of a class rank...my class has over 1100 students...do i still have a chance?</p>

<p>I got into UIUC Civil Engineering with a Math score of 730 and a 590 in CR. I was amongst the top 3 in my class though and had A Levels which is sort of like AP in the US. And roughly my gpa was 3.75. I think you do have a very good chance, eventhough I have no idea how I got in. I did have alot of extra curricular but Im not sure what really got me in. But academically, I think your good to go. Focus on the essays perhaps?</p>

<p>Oh and I also got into Purdue :)</p>
