<p>I am a senior attending a chicago public highschool.
4.1 gpa weighted
3.2 gpa unweighted
27 Composite ACT
top 15% of my senior class which consists of 980 students</p>
<p>2 years of key club and 1 year of student council.
I do not have much other EC but i do have alot of work experience.
since sophomore year ive been working 25 hours a week on top of
school to support myself.</p>
<p>i applied to LAS for biological sciences(priority)</p>
<p>Honestly, what are my chances?</p>
<p>kinda iffy. you may have to wait it out until regular decisions come out. perhaps good first semester grades will give a boost.</p>
<p>My teachers tell me I’m a shoe in but students keep telling me its iffy lol</p>
<p>I think you will get in, LAS isn’t particularly hard to get into.</p>
<p>Many programs in LAS are very competitive. Biology is one of them. Not sure why Radiums thinks otherwise. You are a slight reach to a reach for biology.</p>
<p>Very competitive? I don’t think so, I met many students in the LAS department were B-level students in their high school. Also note that UIUC have a 67% acceptance rate in Fall 2010.</p>
<p>I base my remarks on facts. Here are the facts. The middle 50% of those admitted to LAS last year had ACT composites ranging from 27-32, and were in the top 14% to the top 3% of their classes. The OP is barely below that range. The hard sciences in LAS are more competitive to get into than most other programs offered by LAS. They attact a lot of pre-med students. Based on those statistics, I stand by my previous post that Midnray is a slight reach to a reach for Biology. I do hope you get accepted, Midnray. Good luck.</p>
<p>the above is true; the physical sciences are usually a bit harder to get into than other departments in las. that said, i know a ton of idiots in my mcb and chem classes who i don’t know how they got in. regardless, you’re act looks a bit iffy, but i say you have a fairly decent shot of getting in. whether its for biology or dgs may depend</p>
<p>I was admitted 
thank you guys</p>
