AP Chem: 5
AP stats: 4

Potential majors are maybe in engineering, but i hear that it is very hard to get into UIUC with engineering

Maybe computer science, or business

I am asian...i dont know whether that changes anything or not.

I think admission is largely based on ACT, but I would think you'd have a good chance. If this is your #1 school for sure and you didn't score very high on the ACT you should apply for undecided and then switch to engineering if that is still what you want. I think you need at least a 30 to get into engineering. So it really depends on your ACT.

PS:
I'm working for a company called Large Envelope. Here is the link. Starting tomorrow, we are opening and you can get your admissions essays and everything analyzed by students who attend the college/s of your choice (All are in top 50 schools). You should check it out :)

You'll be on the border for UIUC, in general. If you want to do engineering, you'll have better luck applying to UIC.
Are you an Illinois resident? I ask because Illinois requires 4 years of PE to graduate from high school, and you don't have it.
