UIUC says:
"The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign offers more than 150 degree programs in the eight undergraduate colleges that are open to freshmen.  Each college admits students on a competitive basis.  When you apply to the University, you must apply to one of the colleges.  You must also choose a curriculum or major.

Admission to all of the colleges at the University is selective.  The University is fortunate to receive applications from outstanding high school seniors each year, and more than half of the entering freshmen come from the top 10 per cent of their high school classes.  Due to the demand for space in all programs, there is rarely an opportunity to be considered for a second choice.  "

Students who got into UIUC say:

I wrote very concise but meaningful essays about why I wanted to study in the field I initially chose, as well as my favorite activity in high school. I believe the essays are absolutely key for the admissions officers to really understand who you are and why they should accept your application.

UIUC is starting to look less and less at ACT/SAT scores, but that doesn't mean you should blow them off. A solid ACT of 28+ should be sufficient to get into the University; however, for the College of Engineering or Business, you'll need something to the tune of ~33. They love diversity, and leadership experience. If you can prove that you represent either or both of these categories, don't be too stressed about getting in.
