Hey there! I'm a junior, stressing over the whole college application process. Top on my list is UIC, but I'm unsure about their SAT requirements. Does anyone have information on what the typical scores of admitted students are? My current score is hovering around 1300, and I'm trying to gauge whether that's competitive enough.
Hello! Well, in the grand scheme of college admissions, a score of 1300 on the SAT is a good start, so good work! In terms of the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), its admitted students typically score in the range of 1100-1310. This means your score of 1300 is definitely within a competitive range for UIC.

Remember, however, that while SAT scores play a role, admissions decisions also take into account other factors like grades, course rigor, extracurriculars, and personal essays. So, continue to focus on strengthening your application overall.
