@Rohitmohit The American Society for Engineering Education has been publishing interesting data, including acceptance numbers, for all US colleges for years. All this is available online at: http://profiles.asee.org/
For UIUC, (acceptance/engineering applications) for the past 5 years are:
YEAR (offered admission/engineering applicants)
2015 (6500/12533)
2014 (6467/12770)
2013 (6224/10215)
2012 (5080/7584)
2011 (4787/8319)
Very interesting web site, but those numbers for Illinois are not correct, or, more likely, just misleading. At that site they claim over 2,000 new students enrolled in Engineering in 2015, but we have this directly from the school…
http://www.dmi.illinois.edu/stuenr/index.htm#new
Engineering enrolled 1,622 first time freshman in the Fall of 2015, and they received roughly 11,500 (not 12,533) applications from what they were telling everyone on social media and in person at the time.
They received fewer than 6.500 applications in 2010; there is no way they accepted that many in 2015 to fill a class that is only slightly larger in size (they didn’t accept 100% in 2010).
It’s possible/likely the numbers you posted above include those students offered a consolation spot in DGS, which has an extremely low yield for those looking for Engineering. Pinning down an exact acceptance rate for UIUC is very difficuly by nature of its 1st/2nd/3rd choice major application process. The acceptance rate to 1st choice major in ENG at Illinois is lower, probably a good bit lower, than 52%.
Anyone have an idea about LAS communications? I have a 31 ACT with a 36 in English. UW GPA is 3.4 and W is
4.5. I’m in a separate program in my high school with 80 kids per class where all of my classes are AP or IB. I am in state. Any opinions on where I stand?
@Illinihoop I think you’ve got a pretty good chance
Can someone chance me? In state, 29 ACT, 3.3 GPA (low freshman/sophomore year, huge trend to junior year) few honors and AP’s, good extracurriculars and essay. Applied into AHS and second choice general. This is my top choice, so fingers crossed!!!
Freshman CompE here. I just want to say good luck to everyone! My stats were:
-32 ACT, 30 in math and 35 in science, 33 superscore
-3.8 unweighted GPA, 4.7 weighted GPA (honors/AP classes were worth 5 points at my HS)
-VP of my school’s Computer Club, other than that ECs were pretty weak
Just a general word of advice: College admissions are highly variable. For example, I was accepted into Emory University but was flat out rejected by UM Twin Cities. If you apply to enough top schools, you’re bound to get into one.
Again, good luck everyone!
Hey guys, just a question… there’s only accept/reject possible? Or there’s going to be waitlist as well?
There is a wait list but from what I understand, few people actually get iff the wait list for certain majors (engineering).
Hi Hi!
I have sent both my scores to UIUC for consideration.
SAT- 2120
ACT- 34 (36 Math)
I just wanted to know whether they will just consider my ACT, which is supposedly higher, or will they also use my SAT score for admission as well. Also, in the scores that universities (in this case, UIUC) publish for admitted students, do they include the lower SAT score in the admitted SAT distribution table, considering a higher ACT score in place.
Thanking in advance for responses
Two more weeks! I think I’m more excited than my D. 
@Samar1998 They’ll use both for your application. I’m assuming you sent the SAT, and then did better on the ACT?
11 more daysss!!! ;))
This time, this excitement will never come again…!
9 more DaySsS!!! 
And where are fkin’ people of the world???
All dead?? :-?
It’s very quiet on this board…I assume it’ll pick up a whole lot next week… .we are counting down the days here.
i cannot wait anymooore
Is there any data on the acceptance rates per major? I’ve heard that CS is very selective compared to the general acceptance rate.
We are sitting still, crossing our fingers and toes here!
From what I recall reading last year’s thread, it’s about 10-15% for CS. @YZamyatin you always have the stats–is that unfortunate number about right?
what about mechanical engineering?
Dos UIUC wait till Feb 5th to release all decisions or do they start to come before?
