I have a 3.4 gpa and a 26 on the ACT and UIUC is my dream school. I’ve participated in some clubs and leadership organizations in my school but nothing extreme. I’ve also taken average classes. I was thinking of applying to advertising because that’s the major I want but I wasn’t sure if I had a better chance applied undecided or directly to advertising. Do you think I have a chance of being admitted?
I think advertising is in business or media. UIUC has been tough but you have a 50/50 change. Your GPA is a bit low and your ACT on the low side but I have seen students with your stats get in LAS.
Do you think I would have a better chance if I applied undecided?
no they first consider you for your major, then if you dont meet the requirements they either accept your or reject you from the division of general studies. There is nothing to lose applying directly to your major
