Hello, 1st post, here goes:

18 years old, senior, IL
3.7 GPA unweighted
4.1 GPA weighted
31 on ACT
Whopping total of 3 AP classes: bio, macro, micro
7 honors classes throughout high school
top 12% in class of 600
Extracuriculars:
-JV/Varsity Tennis 2 years
-Owner of small, small business

APPLICATIONS and SITUATIONS:
University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign=ACCEPTED, Alternate Decision (General Studies)
U of I-UC costs $22,000. I havent got any letters for scholarships yet.

QUESTIONS:

1. How hard is it to transfer into the business-finance major at U of I? My mom went there 20 years ago, immigrated, went to community college in U.S., and transfered to U of I with a 3.7 gpa. I heard that I have to get straight A’s, write essays, and join clubs. Do I really have to do all that? Can I just get good grades and be done with it? or do i have to like write essays and stuff? How hard is it to transfer?


When will I get U of I scholarships? Will I even get any?
When I am in General Studies at U of I, what happens if I cant get into the Business school at U of I? Do I stay at that General Studies major???
What do I do in General Studies, is this like a major?..??
