Answer 1

it totally depends on how good the competition is during the time u want acceptance

if that year the average of the entering class has an ACT score was 34, and the average GPA is 3.9, then you may have problems.

also, there are always certain spots for certain people
(quotas)
also, may people don't know this, but at many schools asians have to have higher scores because there is a cap on how many will get in

women today, of all groups (races or whatever) have higher scores (on average) across the board. they still leave spots open that have to be filled by males.

p.s. bush got into Yale because of his father being an alumni (there are such things as automatic in depending on who you are)

Answer 2

You'll have no problem at UIC Engineering, but I don't know about UIUC engineering.
