Hi, I’ve been really stressed out about whether or no I have a chance of getting into U of I and I was wondering if anyone has any experience.

If anyone could give me an idea if i have a chance I would appreciate it. My major is probably Intergrated Biology. Also, should i put a second choice major or just put DGS as second choice? Thank you!
