I think this is a match for you. A 31 is very solid for UIUC, and your GPA and ECs are also strong. I'd be surprised to see you even get deferred.

Good chance, no certainty as business is truly a full file review college and essays are very important. Also, do not be shocked by a deferral in December since it is a possibility because most priority date applicants to business do get deferred to a decision in February.

Sounds like you will get in, obviously no guarantees though

I am a freshman in the College of Business right now, and I also had a 31 on my ACT, my gpa was 4.3 (not sure what it was unweighted), lots of honors classes but only a few AP. IHSA state qualifier in swimming, 3 year varsity swimmer, future business leaders of america member.

By the sound of it, you sound better than me! soo, hopefully you get in!

uOFibabe09-How has your freshman year gone so far? Harder than you thought? Any input? Did you pledge a sorority? Are you having fun there?

Freshman year is amazing, I couldn't have asked for anything better. My classes aren't very difficult this semester which is nice because it makes it easier to adjust to a new lifestyle.

I did participate in rush, but I didn't end up pledging. I am thinking about doing it next year though. Yeah it's so much fun, there's always so much to do... really never a dull moment.

Any other questions? I'd be happy to answer them

No that is really it...just wanted to see if you liked the school socially...and it sounds like you do...that is great to hear! One other question...would you say that a lot of kids hang around kids from their high school and tend not to branch out? Have you met a lot of new kids? How do you like your dorm?
