ACT score is definitely in range, GPA is at the low end of the middle 50 percent of admitted students for CS-Engineering. If you have CS-related EC that would be good as well. CS is so competitive, it is hard to predict, as there are reports here of students with similar or better stats being rejected. If you are female or other URM for CS, that would probably improve your chances. I’d say it’s borderline “reach” for you, so if Illinois is a top school for you regardless, you should list a second choice major. Your stats are solid for Computer Engineering as a 2nd choice “target” major, for example. Still not a safety, but a good chance for CompE. If CS is definitely your major, be sure to apply elsewhere like Purdue, Wisconsin, Minnesota, OSU, etc. Iowa State and UIC might be affordable options for a safety that are also decent in CS.
