Chemical Engineering Admissions questions

<p>Hello, I plan on applying to UIUC this fall for Chemical Engineering. I have a few questions</p>

<ol>
<li>Does UIUC look at the writing section on the SAT’s? Because in the admitted profile, I only see the CR+M score which is out of 1600.</li>
<li>My school is very small, and hence doesn’t rank us or send date relating to how we compare to other students. In such a case, what should be a GPA that is in the competitive range? (I am currently doing the IB Programme, if that helps)</li>
<li>How competitive is Chemical Engineering for International Students as apposed to other engineering major at UIUC, and in general?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank You.</p>

<li><p>The writing section is not used at this time.</p></li>
<li><p>Since grades and grading systems vary, one cannot specify any one particular GPA that would be competitive. Obviously the higher the better and upper 3’s in a 4.0 unweighted system would be good and high IB grades would be considered favorably.</p></li>
<li><p>In line with the engineering college in general and middle 50% ranges you see published for engineering in general are a reliable guide. Out-of-state and international students are admitted at about the same rate as in-state students.</p></li>
</ol>
