What are my chances of admittance into UIUC Engineering?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Illinois - Urbana-Champaign
1

I am currently an incoming senior planning to major in aerospace engineering.

I have a GPA of 3.78 unweighted and 4.2 weighted.

Act - 34 (33 math, 36 science, 35 english, 32 reading)

Sat - 1520 (780 math, 740 reading/writing)

Almost all classes are AP and Honors. I have taken AP Psychology, AP Physics 1, AP Music Theory, and AP US History. I have gotten a 5 on psych, and I’m sure that I will have a 5 on Physics 1 and a 4 or 5 on APUSH and Music theory

I will also have taken the first semester of AP Calc BC, AP Physics C, and AP Chem by the time I apply

I’ve had two summer jobs – one at McDonald’s the summer before my Soohomore year and Burger King the summer before my Junior Year. I am looking for a job currently and probably will have one this summer.

I have participated in band activities, such as marching band, honor bands, pit orchestra, concert ensembles, etc. for the past three years of high school. In senior year I will be doing VEX robotics and science olympiad, along with the band activities except for marching band.

I am also going to be tutoring students in physics and math in the next school year.

Depends on your major, what are you majoring in?

aerospace

I’d say you have a pretty good chance then. Just be specific in your essays

I just wrote the essay. I already submitted it, but I’m not sure if it’s that specific. I talked about how I’m participating in engineering organizations and how I’m investigating rockets work and what NASA and SpaceX are doing.
