Chance at CS with Terrible SAT math?

I’m an international applicant. Applying to the College of Engineering for undergrad CS.
I have an SAT superscore of 2080 - 690 CR, 670 M, 720 W.
I have the same question as the OP - how badly will my Math score affect my chances? Also, how much importance does Illinois give to Writing scores?

ECs - president of my school’s computer club (we host this large scale computer symposium annually), school vice-captain, won quite a few regional to state level quizzes (also the student head of the quizzing club), a few olympiad certificates.

Academics - Illinois asks Indians to report only percentages from 10th grade board examinations, in which I have a 95% (translates into a 4.0 GPA I guess) with a 100 in Computer Science. Top 5% of my class. Current subjects - English, Physics, Chemistry, Math and CS. (TOEFL - 113/120, but that hardly counts)

So, what are my chances of getting in? Chances for DGS, if accepted not to the engineering college?
