<p>ACT is a little low for engineering, but GPA is good. A little worried about your ECs though, I found it weird that you did a lot of clubs each for very brief periods of time. Were all these programs just year-long opportunities? If not, it looks a little unfocused. UIUC doesn’t consider recommendations, but job and work experience looks good. I’m going to say you’re a high match, you’ve definitely got a shot. Good luck! </p>

<p>@bookworm5590 thanks. The info for ec’s were a little old and i only just added the new ones for this year. most of them I have actually continued to do… the only thing i am nervous about is ACT… took it 4 times and that was the highest. I don’t know if they look at breakdown but i had a 33 in math and science! Thanks for the input.</p>
