With that GPA and considering CS is one of the most competitve majors to get into I would say its a high reach for you

Your Mexican heritage could work in your favor if you can raise your ACT score to maybe a 31 or 32.
Did you take hard classes?

Hey! Probably just being annoying on my part, but the correct spelling of the school’s name is “University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.”
As for your chances, your GPA might be a bit low for the CS program that UIUC offers. If you can get your ACT to above 30, I think you can move UIUC from a high reach to just a reach.
