For arts & science programs in the USA, freshmen admission generally is to the whole college, not to a specific department. Arts and science students frequently change majors. I doubt your intended major will have a much (if any) impact on arts & science admission, especially if you indicate a major that is not one of the most or least popular.

UIUC admits by major, though it may also admit frosh as undeclared if they are admissible to the school but do not meet the frosh admission threshold for the major. However, undeclared students who want to declare a popular major (like CS or any of the CS+something majors) after enrolling may face a high GPA threshold or competitive admission to declare the major.

Here are the criteria for admission to the CS and CS+something majors at UIUC for undeclared students:
