<p>any SAT 2s?</p>

<p>No GPA mentioned? No class rank mentioned? No quality of high school mentioned? C’mon. You’re killing us here. Give us something to work with. The ACT score is solid. Same with the AP classes. But why the hell are you choosing ILR? Pre-law?</p>

<p>I’d say your chances are average without knowing any more. A good ACT score and AP classes don’t mean much when there are thousands of other applicants with those same things.</p>

<p>If you dont get into ILR apply as a transfer because there is a 60% admissions rate for transfers.</p>
