<p>I have yet to receive a response from two of my most anticipated colleges:</p>

<p>University of Illinois
Purdue University</p>

<p>What do you guys think? Also, if you happen to have a lower gpa, don't consider CC the only option due to admissions. The truth is that there are many well-renowned universities that are available to offer you admission. For example, even with my GPA I managed to get into a university with an engineering program ranked in the top 50 of the nation; so don't be discouraged.</p>

<p>Bump, any input is appreciated</p>

<p>Which other UI?
Sorry, don’t know much about Purdue.</p>

<p>Purdue will be reach. Your GPA is too low. I know nothing about University of Illinois </p>

<p>Sorry, should have clarified…</p>

<p>University of Illinois at Urbana-champagin</p>

<p>Sorry I can’t speak to UI, Purdue will be a reach.</p>

<p>UI is reach.</p>

<p>Both are reaches not for your scores but for your GPA. </p>

<p>I am not surprised of your acceptances as you may think most of us are; they actually seem very possible.</p>

<p>Last two are tougher that Ohio State. Go Cyclones! Congrats.</p>
