UIUC Engineering Physics is one of the programs to which my daughter was accepted. The rest of her list differs from yours, probably because she wanted to study in the US in the northeast or midwest, but also because she is interested in also studying philosophy. She recently attended the dedicated accepted students Physics Day at Grainger and was really impressed with the undergraduate research opportunities and the approachability of the professors. Also, in high school in Chicagoland, about 3 hours away, she was engaged in programming at Fermilab, America’s national particle physics and accelerator laboratory, which she likely would be able to continue if she attends UIUC. Something to consider for future career possibilities (https://fermilab.jobs/).

Best wishes - all of your options are excellent!
