Did you take any APs? You should also try to get your SAT up a bit more to get an even better shot.
I’m taking AP Government & Politics next year, I can also get some great recs, and have family alumni if that helps.
Illinois doesn’t accept recommendations and doesn’t consider family alumni status. CoB has relatively few OOS students, with most being in-state or international; no idea whether that affords OOS applicants a wider holistic review of their applications.
