Too late to apply?

I have been dragging my feet over whether or not to apply to the University of Illinois, but when I found out the application fee for this year was waved I thought "why not?" If I applied today, would it be too late for me to be seriously considered for admission with 3.8/162? I have already been accepted to the University of Iowa, and I have excellent softs and LORs. Any thoughts?

It's $12, you have a pretty slammin' GPA, and it's still on time/late-early (at least what I think). Why not?

I would shoot them application. It's still on time, and probably the majority of applications are coming in between now (or roughly when students go on winter break) and New Years. It's only $12, you don't have much to lose, I say go for it.
