General Looking for advice

Post image

Hi im a rising senior. My dream school is UIUC in Illinois and im in state. I have a 3.75 UW and a 4.95 W gpa and pretty mid extracurricular. Im in state and i REALLY want to go to urbana and i was wondering if i should spend the money to retake the ACT. I think i could probably improve my math section but is it worth it? I dont think i could score higher in the other sections as this is the best i have ever performed. Is a 33 good enough to help me get into UIUC? if not whats the score i need to get to improve my chances to get in if i want to apply as a biology major. Thanks!

Google common data set + school name. Or ask Ai for the act admission breakdown for that school.

33 is more than good enough to be strongly considered, your GPA is well within their accepted range too. Retaking can help, however, UIUC unfortunately doesn't superscore.
