What is your first and second preference for a major at UIUC? CS/Engineering is highly competitive for OOS and international students. You definitely have a high chance of EA acceptance, with your strong GPA and test scores.
Cs and physics
For CS, I would say a definite maybe. It’s very competitive and they defer or reject a lot of extremely well qualified applicants. Be sure to have some solid target and safety schools if CS is your preferred major. You could then list Physics as your 2nd choice major, of course.
I would guess that you have a very good chance to get EA into LAS Physics as these stats are above the middle 50 percent for admitted freshman ( https://admissions.illinois.edu/Apply/Freshman/profile ). Engineering Physics is also a good chance for EA. The AP and SAT2 results aren’t officially considered, but they could be listed on the application in the achievements section if you wish to do so.
