UIUC is not a common app school, you must use its app that you find on-line at its site. As you will see in the app, they actually want two essays, each 300 words or less, one discussing your academic interests and/or your professional goals and for the second you choose one of your extracurricular activities, work experiences or community service projects that you list in app and explain why you chose it, why you continued with it, and how you benefitted from it. The only things you submit are the app, the essays, have your high school send an official high school transcript (your “secondary school report”) and have the testing agency (SAT or ACT) send an offical test score report. There is nothing else to submit.

Recommendations and SAT IIs are not wanted and won’t be considered if submitted. If you were to send those, persons who actually make the admissions decisions won’t see them and won’t even know you sent them.
