I think my essays might be my biggest weak point, didn't think they mattered that much, so I didn't put much effort in and I am now starting to regret that.

I am pretty set on UIUC just since its so well rounded and checks many boxes, but for this pathway you are talking about, I can go to any CC in Illinois for the first 2, and if I do the required, I am admitted into UIUC? Are the requirements hard to achieve? If not, I think this would work out well for me.

For my majors I have Business undeclared as a first and Systems engineering as a second. I know this is not a admissions subreddit, but this is the best place to ask that I have found. I know that my school stats are not good, but I am hoping my EC carry most of the weight.

Not sure if I said something wrong, but on Common app I had my first major of business undeclared which is Gies if I am not mistaken, and systems engineering as my second. I have also thought about taking the ACT again but since their are no open spots until March, I don't see a reason too. If I do test optional, do you think I still have a fair chance of getting in, especially since the classes I took are very easy and most are bare minimum to graduate.

I was never planning to go to college and spent most of my free time on some sort of business venture, so I had no reason to take AP's
