UIUC Chances [non-IL resident, 3.842 GPA, 1510 SAT, CS+linguistics]

What are the chances of getting into UIUC with the following

SAT is 1510, unweighted GPA 3.842 is 9 APs including senior year and 6 Dual enrollment courses.Applying for Linguistics and CS, I am out of state(CA)

They take 74% in state. CS is tough for anyone.

Sounds like OP is applying to CS + Linguistics, which is a much easier admit than straight CS. Around 20% rather than ~6%. Not sure how it breaks down for OOS.

All the +X majors are reaches (UIUC only divulges total +X major overall acceptance rate (19.6%), not the rates by individual major), you can see select acceptance rates here for Class of 2027:

Make sure you connect your experience and education to why that major in the “Why this major” essay…that’s important. Also, make sure to apply EA.

What will be your second choice major? (you get 2 choices and must write essays for each)

Good luck.
