The only essays required, and the only ones UIUC really wants to see, are the ones relating to your first and second choice of major (unless your “major” choice is “Division of General Studies,” meaning you are applying undecided, in which case the essay can be more general and need not relate to any specific major, see https://admissions.illinois.edu/Apply/Freshman/essays). UIUC is one university that sets out what is required for applying for admission and does not want to see anything more than what is required, e.g., for determining admission, it does not want any resume, SAT subject tests, recommendations, or any mid-year report providing first semester, senior year grades, and if such extra things are provided, they will not be shown to those who actually make admission decisions.
