Sorry…but I will have to disagree. UIUC’s admission policy is complete numerical bunk. Even my son with WAY over a 3.6 GPA and a 29 ACT has like no chance for the business school. There is no rhyme or reason to it. Some of it is geography, too. As a state school, UIUC needs to admit a diverse population from all its areas. They just can’t only accept highly qualified students from the wealthier Chicago suburbs.

Quite simply, it is what it is.
