Hi there! I transfered to UIUC business a couple years back as a second-semester sophomore actually. Check out transfer.org - I know for a fact that UIUC’s admissions uses this to assess transfer equivalency between courses. I know you have to fulfill a number of requirements before you can be considered for UIUC business so make sure you follow those closely. I would also highly recommend reaching out to an admissions counselor over at UIUC - can’t tell you how much stress it saved me to get a simple head nod from admissions on some assumptions I was making. If you fufill all the pre-reqs and get a high GPA (>3.8), you should have a very good shot, considering you’re already at NU as well. Clubs and such can supplement a 3.5 as well.

I know quite a few people who went to NU and ended up in business roles - make sure you take a close look at what you want to get out of your school, career-wise, if that is a major driver for you. For example, NU is notoriously very good at consulting while UIUC is considerably better at ibanking/accounting.
