University of Illinois Chicago Admissions

UIC is less selective with a 78.69% acceptance rate, meaning most students who apply will get in. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1110-1340 on the SAT, with an average of 1225. Test scores matter but aren't the primary barrier to admission. The 27 ACT average aligns with solid academic preparation rather than strong performance. UIC seeks students ready for rigorous pre-professional programs, particularly those interested in medicine, engineering, or business. The university values diversity and urban engagement, welcoming first-generation college students who make up nearly half the student body through Pell Grant eligibility.
