A quick perusal of UIUC CDs shows that men are accepted at 55% with women being accepted at 67%. That should translates into higher acceptance for women into their most popular majors - Comp Sci, Computer Engineering and Electrical Engineering. The enrollment of men in those three majors is 82% with women at 18%. Frankly that is not good for STEM, but we’re digressing from the point. UIUC knows it has to make that number more balanced, so imo being a female is a hook. You’re not guaranteed a spot of course.

And UIUC is not a reach for everybody, as my friends from Illinois tell me, the state is broke so they will gladly accept OOS tuition money. So good stats, OOS even for EE, CE and CS could make it a match.
