Your being OOS is not a beneficial factor in your admissions application. It is not considered a plus, or a minus. Your SAT is fine. Your GPA, is, if anything weighed more heavily than test scores, and does not bode well for you. Your upward trend will be noted, but really, your application will be up against top notch applicants for a limited number of slots. I’d say apply to a specific program in Engineering, if you are not accepted, I’d say your test scores will likely get you an offer from DGS, where you can take the same classes as admitted engineers, obtain the grades you’ll need for transfer, and eventually be able to successfully transfer into the engineering program at the top-notch Engineering school that UIUC is.
