<p>How much does it help to be from IL? I applied to several other schools but UIUC is my number one. I heard that if your from IL, they only take a certain amount of people depening on how large your county is.</p>
<p>7% of last year’s freshman were out of state. As for the county thing, I’ve never heard of anything like that.</p>
<p>As far as the county thing, I doubt it.</p>
<p>UIUC accepted 20-30 students from my school alone, half of them in to one college. (engineering)</p>
