my daughter is a senior at Stevenson this year and attending UIUC in the fall. She applied direct to business and got in with similar grades and an ACT just slightly lower than yours. I would say that if you have good extracurriculars and strong essay you are a lock. Might even be offered honors program.

lixuelai suggested considering Northwestern and Chicago. I would be cautious about taking that advice. First, if you are interested in Business, that is not an undergrad option at Northwestern or Chicago. Second, Northwestern is awfully close to home for you–probably 20 minute drive. I encouraged my kids to get away from home enough to truly be own their own. One chose Champaign, the other chose William & Mary.
