Our Admissions Philosophy
Each year, the College of Business receives applications from a diverse and exceptionally qualified group of students. Selecting the freshman class from among this distinguished group is a challenging task. The number of qualified students far exceeds the number we can admit.
As such, we review all completed applications "holistically," with no minimum cutoff for grade point average or standardized test score. We assess the unique combination of achievement and potential in each applicant. Grades, high school rank and test scores provide a tangible record of each candidate's academic achievement. The essays broaden the committee's understanding of each applicant's goals and motivations. And participation in school and community activities reveals student interests and leadership.
We particularly like to see evidence of leadership. We believe that a successful leader is one who achieves individually, while enhancing the learning experience of his or her peers. Applicants with the strongest academic records are more likely to receive admissions when matched by the potential to make a significant intellectual contribution to the education of students in the College of Business and the University of Illinois.
We evaluate each student individually and thoughtfully in the context of the opportunities provided by his or her high school. Our admissions philosophy allows us to admit a class of freshmen who will bring a diverse set of skills, experiences and passions that will contribute to an outstanding experience for all of our students.
We're looking for individuals who have:
• A strong academic record
• Competitive ACT/SAT scores
• Demonstrated leadership skills
• Exceptional communication skills
• A variety of interests
• An eagerness to participate
We're looking for YOU!
APPLY by:
