The University of Illinois -- Urbana Champaign
</a> | Forward me! |  |
UIUC says:
"The
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers more than 150 degree
programs in the eight undergraduate colleges that are open to
freshmen. Each college admits students on a competitive basis. When
you apply to the University, you must apply to one
of the colleges. You must also choose a curriculum or
major. Admission to all of the colleges at the University
is selective. The University is fortunate to receive applications from
outstanding high school seniors each year, and more than half
of the entering freshmen come from the top 10 per
cent of their high school classes. Due to the demand
for space in all programs, there is rarely an opportunity
to be considered for a second choice. " | | Students who got into UIUC say: | |

It comes down largely to class rank and ACT/SAT.

I was incredibly involved in high school. I was on student council, competed in athletics, volunteered, etc. You name it, I did it. It seems that way for most of my fellow students. Everyone was in the top % of their graduating class and all were incredibly involved. Show the school what you do outside of the classroom to get admissions interest.

I recommend being a diverse candidate. Grades and ACT/SAT scores are (sadly) a part of every admissions process, but Illinois values students who are well-rounded. This means voluntering in your community, working in your community, being a member of a group through your school, volunteering at your school - basically showing that you have made a difference in your school and local community.

I filled out my application and wrote a one paragraph personal statement. I didn't get a recommendation or anything. I believe because U of I receives so many applicants a year, it is likely that the main focus of the admissions committee are GPA/class rank and test scores (ACT/SAT). I believe the personal statement/recommendations/extracurriculars only come into play for borderline students.

If you want to get in and don't think your grades / ACT scores are good enough for your preffered major, just pick a less rigorous one, like something in LAS, if you do well in your gen-eds, you should be able to transfer into your department junior year

A good application essay, hard classes in high school, above average SATs, above average extracurricular involvement.

Do really good in high school... study hard. Trust me.. you'll be gald you did.. once you get here

I did well on my ACT (an overall score of 32, with a Math subset of 35). The score was more of a fluke, and I was lucky enough that that got me into UIUC engineering on its own. Each year the selection process gets tighter. Taking the ACT a few times if you think you can get a higher score would definately help out.
I don't know what to say about how to get in. But if you intend to be accepted (and this goes for many universities), check the university's AP credit allowances. Just because you've scored well on an AP test doesn't necessarily mean you will recieve credit that will help you in your degree.

Make sure to get your applications in early- unfortunately the admissions process is on a sort of first-come first-serve basis, so a lot of my friends were turned away. Make sure you visit the campus, too. I was set on NOT going here until I actually saw the campus and liked it.

Don't let the fact that the university is located in the center of Illinois discourage you. There are tons of things to do in Champaign-Urbana. And don't think that just because you go to a large public school that you won't receive a good education. You will. U of I will provided you with a top quality education that I believe rivals even some of the best schools. Work hard in high school, join extracurrics, do well on your entrance exams, and write a strong personal statement (This formula basically applies to all schools). That's all I can say since they've raised the bar a lot since I graduated from high school. I'm not sure how much you'll need to do now. Good luck. Godspeed. And enjoy your college years. It'll be gone before you know it.
