<p>Even though they have done some cut-backs on International students, I think you still have a good shot at getting in because your average seems to be good(I'm assuming there's no rank), and you have a strong ACT score. It's not really necessary for you to take the SAT if you didn't want to.</p>

<p>Good Luck</p>

<p>You only need the ACT and no reason to submit SAT. UIUC has not intentionally cut back on internationals. They actually had some increase for 2004 and intend to increase the percent in 2005 if they can. However, you will not be admitted if you need financial aid. They do not offer it to internationals and are looking at increasing the international pool because those will be people who pay full tuition, which UIUC currently considers a plus. I do not know what that university admission index really means but if it is equivalent to an A- average, you should have a good chance as an international. The real question is: have you already applied. Its a roilling admissions college and the earlier you apply the better your chances.</p>
