How competitive are the engineering school admissions at UMN and UW-Mad? I’m very interested in these two, and would be really happy going to either one. I have a 3.92 weighted GPA (3.6 unweighted) and a 1520 SAT (790 math, 730 reading). I have 3 solid ECs, and am out of state for both schools.
UW is a bit more selective generally but both Engineering programs are top-20, and Engineering is a popular and (thus) competitive major at both. You’ll need to do well at either school to get into their Engineering programs.
I would apply to both, visit both, and if accepted to both, go where you fit better.
