Which engineering major at UIUC is the most competitive? Which is the least competitive? Which are the largest and smallest disciplines?
All of the major s in the college of engineering are competitive - the overall average ACT score is 32. However, the most competitive -from what I understand - is Mechanical engineering and next is Computer Science. If you aren’t accepted directly into a program and go to UIUC you have to maintain a 3.8 GPA to get into Mechanical Engineering and a 3.6 for Computer Science. This is while taking the very hard first few years of engineering prerequisites which look more like a math minor.
I can’t speak to the size of each - perhaps check the website and see if there is more information available.
Best of luck - UIUC is a top notch engineering school if you can get into the program of your choice and if you can handle a brutal Illinois winter.
