<p>I know the OP posted this in December, but it’s still a good FAQ for a student deciding on which school to attend.</p>

<li>UIUC as a whole has a pretty high acceptance rate because, quite frankly, there’s other “lower ranked” majors at UIUC. I am taking a blind shot in the dark here, but maybe the school of Liberal Arts isn’t as highly ranked and has much easier requirements. Engineering at UIUC is very tough to get accepted into, so don’t worry about that.</li>
<li>I would just reiterate what my boy from GT, GP Burdell said. ;)</li>
