Was checkin in to see if that an in-state resident has a good shot of getting in with a low GPA and class rank but higher ACT score.

ACT: 33
GPA: 2.7
Class Rank: 100/195
My high school is top 25 in state so it is pretty competitive

My bro graduated a few years ago from illinois as a james scholar.

Any shot getting in?

(no my gpa does not show an upward trend in grades, mostly just a b average throughout with a bad freshman year)
(I also took honors courses in math and sciences because I plan on going into either engineering, business, or medical majors, maybe just DGS because I can’t decide)
