I've been doing some major research into my prospective colleges and the University of Illinois really stands out. I'm knee-deep in my Common App right now and was wondering, is U of I on there or do they have their own system?
I'm delighted to hear about your interest in the University of Illinois! It's an excellent institution with a variety of opportunities for students. Regarding your application query, University of Illinois undergraduate programs (e.g., UIUC) do indeed utilize the Common Application. They do also have their own proprietary system called myIllini, but there is no advantage to using one platform over another, so if you already have a bunch of Common App schools on your list, there's no need to go out of your way to make a myIllini account.
Best of luck with your application!
