Is ILR or CAS best and do I have a shot?

mikeyc765

Whether ILR or CAS is best depends on what you want to study.

Yes you have a solid shot, but you would really be stronger if you bring your CR/M SAT to 1400+.

If you are applying to CAS then you need to take the SAT subject tests. They are not required for ILR however I do not know if you would be at a distinct disadvantage by not having any for ILR

yolie3000

Yes took SAT II World Hist 710, Physics 720, US Hist 690
forgot to list,
Business/PreLaw will be focus.

I agree you have a pretty solid shot. Apply ED and your chances will increase even more.

Thanks to all!

Still not sure of my choice to apply ILR or CAS. Went to ILR info session and the admissions officer told us not to list a second choice in school??? Why would they give you that option then. I was a bit unclear on that remark.

cortana431

Perhaps they don't want to see you have second thoughts on ILR and if you are really fit for ILR.

Any advice on essays for high reach schools? Are there any websites that give advice?
