The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is a public land-grant research university in Urbana and Champaign, Illinois. It was established in 1867 as Illinois Industrial University, which kept that name until 1885, after Urbana won a site competition among several cities. It opened for classes on March 2, 1868 with two faculty members and 77 students, according to Wikipedia's history article. Two later sources report class profile data for recent cohorts: 83,045 applications and 30,384 admitted students for the Class of 2029, a 36.6% overall rate, with the middle 50% of Fall 2024 submitters at SAT 1380-1530 and ACT 30-34. The university is test-optional, and course requirements include four years of English, two of social science and two of lab science, plus math. Applicants apply to a specific major, and the first-choice major acceptance rate is reported lower than the overall rate.
