timosyy. I got into UIUC College of Engineering (CS Major) last year (would've been class of 2008) with these stats:
1380 SATs (710 Math 670 Verbal)
3.8 GPA
AP Calc AB, Comp Sci AB, US History, Government and Politics: 5, 4, 4, 4, respectively
AMC 12 School Winner
Graduated with a special degree in Technology from my HS for taking a bunch of computer classes (looks nice on the resume) and with Regents and Honors
Had a steady job of at least 20 hours for 4 years (except during football season, only 8 hours a week)
Interned at Northrop Grumman for 2 months
Worked over the Summer 30hrs a week for 2 weeks teaching 5-9th graders LOGO Programming
Worked over the Summer 30hrs a week for 1 week teaching 5-9th graders GUI Programming with Legos
Honored Student Speaker at Northrop Grumman HIP Commencement Ceremony
3 Years Varsity Football and 1 year JV Football, 2 Time Game-Captain on Both Levels
2nd Place Annual Cerebral Palsy Trivia Challenge
National Honor Society (Such a waste, but colleges like to see it)
Volunteer work at various school sponsored events (Elementary Halloween Parties, Senior Citizen Prom, Italian Society Feast, etc)
Those were my general stats. What I'm pretty sure they have setup for their General Admission is a computer system that will automatically accept you if your stats are high enough. My application online said "Deferred for Manual Review" which to me seemed to indicate this. Within two days of that message I was accepted.
One thing I cannot say strongly enough is UIUC does NOT fvck around. If you go to that school, make sure you are ready to bust your arse. They have an AWESOME College of Engineering, and you should take full advantage of it if you get in. I knew I didn't have the kind of work ethic right now to be successful at UIUC so instead I went to University of Maryland: College Park, which is also a very good school for Computer Science. Not as much work so I can have a little bit more fun in my freshman and sophmore year. That and its also an 11 hour drive from Long Island to UIUC (which would be your commute). But UIUC is one hardcore school.
Best of luck,
John
