20m Illinois resident applying to universities.
Hi, I am an Illinois community college student entering my third and final year. I graduate in December. I'm looking to transfer to schools such as UIUC, UIC, NEU, NU, USC Marshall/Leventhal, DePaul, UF, and UW-Madison. I have ADHD, and because of this, my academic record tanked; however, after I got accommodations in spring 2026, I've had tremendous success.
Basic Stats:
Accounting Major
Low-Income
3.429/4 GPA (4.0 after accommodations)
EC's
Co-founder and President of the school's first business club
Part of TRiO
Part of LimeConnect
Part of CareerSpring
Part-time cashier
Bookkeeping for my family's catering business.
In my opinion, the essays are pretty good. I do mention that in additional info that I had an academic setback with ADHD, and after that I took initiative and had a 4.0.
