<p>Do you live in Chicago? Just curious.</p>
<p>Anyways, I think you are in for sure. Is UIUC your top school?</p>
<p>I live in a suburb about 15 mins away from Chicago.</p>
<p>My parents are making me stay in state so UIUC is my first choice. I have 3 sisters who are currently there and they have been telling my mom that I may not get in and that I only way i would be accepted is if I applied to the Agriculture school and transfer over to LAS in a year or two. Any thoughts? Thanks</p>
<p>I sincerely think that you will get in. There are students in my school with lower stats than you that get in all the time. I think the main issue here is that you haven't listened any of your ECs and so people can't make a good measurement (though any measurement on CC is still a guess, sometimes educated, sometimes not so much) without them. </p>
<p>Also, UIUC is also a choice for many, many students in Chicago. You will be competing with them. But don't worry. You have the stats that are probably better than most of theirs.</p>
<p>I'm going to be in the same boat as you, applying to similar 'in state' schools, so yeah. Except I'm from the city. So basically I think you're in, honestly. :)</p>

<p>Murkywater where do you go downtown?I go to Fenwick in Oak Park.</p>
<p>Good chance.</p>
<p>I go to IMSA
two of my roomates were deferred. One had a 28 ACT and the other a 31
Me and my third roomate got accpeted for engineering. Both of us had 34 ACTs.</p>
<p>Therefore, get a higher ACT score</p>
<p>As a grad of UIUC, I can tell you that it really depends on which department you're applying to. Top ones are civil engineering, computer/electrical engineering, computer science, material science, agriculture, and some others I don't recall. If you're applying to one of the tougher engineering ones, you will probably need better scores, because 4.00 in high school isn't very high, unfortunately, because you have all these weighted classes that give you 5 instead of 4. I think at the end of my high school, my GPA was closer to 5 than to 4.</p>
<p>You should be fine.</p>
<p>I was thinking of applying into LAS</p>
<p>In and with good chance at a scholarship in-state.</p>
<p>If you could get your ACT up to 33, then it would be a scholarship for sure--possibly for major money. You also have a very good shot at admission to the honors school as a freshman.</p>
<p>The apostrophe goes before the grad year: '08.</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>hah i realized that after I did it I also put class or 08' instead of "of" '08. Thanks though</p>
<p>What do you mean, where do I go downtown? Like where I go to school? I'm at the only school in the state better than Whitney Young Magnet H.S. .. :)</p>
<p>If you're applying to LAS, you should be fine.</p>
<p>I'd say you're chances aren't good. I had a 32 and a 4.0 weighted and I got wait listed. I was applying to LAS, which is generally not as hard as business or engineering. I've heard that they scale down your weighted gpa so that it looks like a regular gpa (since u of i doesn't use weighted grades) so that would make your gpa a 3.0, which is only a B average and not very good with the stiff competition. </p>
<p>Why are your parents making you stay in state? You'd have a better chance at Iowa or Indiana.</p>
