<p>UIC: Safety
UIUC: Match (for something other than engineering, CS or business)
UIUC engineering, business, CS: Reach</p>

<p>Do essays help alot?</p>

<p>Engineering is very competitive at UIUC</p>

<p>I would say High Match (as in more difficult)</p>

<p>Is it worth taking ap senior year since they only look into your junior year?</p>

<p>Do it. Im pretty sure they asked me what my senior classes I’m taking this year are. It will helP!!!</p>
