<p>Your ACT 33 is right at the admission average of UMich CoE last year while your GPA is below the admission average 3.9. Your course rigor is good. I need more information from your ACT scores. Did you retake and get a higher score in September? If so, why not put that down instead. Also, how are your section scores?</p>
<p>If considering ACT 33 and GPA 3.82, UMich CoE would be a low reach for you as both are at or below admission average and the admission rate is 20%. UIUC ENG has a similar admission stat (depending on major) as UMich although they have a higher admission rate.</p>
<p>For both UIUC and UMich, you are not likely to receive any financial aid. Make sure your family can afford both kids going to OOS schools at the same time. These 2 schools will cost you $50k-$60k per year.</p>
