<p>I got it with less impressive stats than above poster. A friend from my school also got it. We’re both from an average Maryland public school with 2200-2300 scores, 3.9-4.0 GPAs and max class rigor (11 and 12 APs taken). He has much better ECs than me (and so does the above poster) and I even left the spot for an EC confirmation blank. In short, I’m surprised I got it.</p>
<p>What colleges did you apply to? Engineering? Business? LAS?</p>
<p>…and are you planning on attending?</p>
<p>My friend did Engineering but I think mine was categorized in LAS even though it was Chemical Engineering major. Personally, I’m considering it but I think I would rather go to a few other schools if I get in and the money there is comparable.</p>
<p>I may attend, but I’ve applied to a bunch of schools that I prefer over UIUC, so it’s not likely I’ll go. It’s good to have a backup plan, though. 
Plus, this brings the cost down to that of the UCs, so this basically just made all of my UC applications useless, except for Berkeley…</p>
<p>I applied to LAS as a Math and Computer Science major. (I’d rather do this than straight-up CS, and LAS costs less than engineering. :P)</p>
<p>For informative purposes, the letter states that they offered the scholarship based on</p>

<p>So it seems that stats play a big part.</p>
