I’m out of state my (UW) GPA is a 3.1 with 2 APs, and my ACT is a 35. What would my chances be at getting into the main campus for engineering? I would be willing to do the summer part if it meant getting in. Thank you for your time
Put DUS, summer, and a backup branch campus. GPA is 2/3 of the decision.
What would my odds be for getting into the main campus if I put DUS and summer on the application?

Scroll down to C11. That is supposedly on a 4.0 scale, though I’m not sure if that’s accurate, and shows what percentage of UP freshman had GPAs in which range.
Your act somewhat mitigates your GPA so if you apply summer/dus before the deadline (Nov 30) your odds are good.
Note that being DUS does NOT make it harder to get into the major, unlike at many universities where the pre admits are treated differently from the undecideds.
