<p>No olagan I’m sorry to say that was definitely not true that you’re overqualified for DGS. There are plenty of very good students who have applied to Engineering or business that end up in DGS which much higher stats than you. Many of THEM turn down the offer because they were accepted in Business or Engineering at other schools. I’m guessing the rigor of your courses coupled with some low grades in core courses may have been to blame. A low 3 is very low for UIUC which trumps your accomplishments.</p>
