okay, the last two years, my grades have been pretty good but right now, I have a cumulative GPA of about 2.75 and a 20 on my ACT. I am retaking my ACT in october and am looking at around a 24. I am looking at majoring in music. I am in symphonic band for four years, marching band for four, McHenry County Honor Band for two, Marching band leadership team, and an active Tri-M music honor society member. I also play Varisty badminton for three years. What are my chances, mainly as far as GPA and ACT, on admission into Illinois state university, Southern illinois university carbondale, Eastern Illinois university, or Western Illinois University..
..and which ones have the best music program. I am familiar with ISU’s music program, but less so with the others.
please and thanks!
Your ACT score fit the admissions standards for all the given universities except Illinois State University. http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=1556&profileId=6
99% of Incoming freshmen who were accept to Eastern Illinois University had ACT Composite scores of 19 – 24. 99% of incoming Western Illinois University freshmen had ACT Composite from 18 – 22. 62% of Southern Illinois University Carbondale students had an ACT Composite from 19 – 24. ACT Composite: 100% of the Illinois State University incoming freshmen had ACT COmposite scores from 22 – 26. You should retake the ACT if you want to get into the music program from ISU. You should shoot your GPA up to at least 3.0 cumulative. I don’t think class ranks for these colleges matter. Do students activities.
I’m sorry, but I know anything about any of their music programs.
Have you given consideration to Western Michigan University?
I work in college admissions in Texas. I am quite familiar with WMU’s School of Music, and have heard nothing but great things. Plus, do you necessarily have to limit yourself to just Illinois colleges?
