<p>For undergraduate admission to UIUC does it depend on the specific major? I know that UIUC is #5 in the US for Computer Engineering, so I was wondering if the admissions rate for CS/CE is lower than it its for the general college?</p>
<p>It is lower but not as low as you think( I think around 40% not sure though). However engineering applicant are definitely more self selective(the average act for engineering is like 32)</p>
<p>Call admissions and they will give you exact numbers. I’m on the road and don’t have them in front if me. First choice major acceptance is much lower than the published rate. Computer Engineering is popular.</p>
<p>My son was accepted at UIUC in Computer Engineering. We just got back from visiting for accepted students day. They didn’t tell us admissions stats for Computer Engineering per se, but they have 18% more applications to Engineering - about 10,000 applicants for a total of 1500 spots overall in engineering and comp sci.</p>
<p>That would be about about 4021 acceptances (with a 37% yield rate). So likely a 40 percent acceptance rate to the college of engineering. </p>
<p>We went to a presentation in the NY area for accepted students and they told us 40% but I thought that was to the university overall.</p>
