If you guys can give me my chances, it would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>I would say in at both. Retake your ACT if you want to be completely sure, but I’d say 90% at UW and 98% UM.</p>
<p>Also note that you get accepted to the university as a whole. Later, you apply to the school of nursing, which can be competitive. Read the UW online catalog for details.</p>
<p>i do not agree with cryto that UM is easier to get in than UW. while UM does put more emphasis on your GPA, they also look at your act score. i would try to get 30 and above, then i would say that you have a good chance to get in.</p>
<p>i also live in michigan and 3.6GPA (low for michigan) and 31 ACT and was admitted to UW but not UM. but overall, you are in a pretty good shape for both.</p>
<p>Michigan might be easier to get into only because the OP is instate for U-M. The question I have is, “Why would you want to go OOS to a school that is not better than your instate school and pay OOS tuition?”</p>
<p>Oh crap I actually mixed up my post. I thought he was referencing University of Minnesota sorry about that haha. Ya I would lower my % on UM to maybe 85% then. It helps a lot that you are in state I think. Sorry for the mix up, I would say it is tougher to get into UM than UW.</p>
<p>U of M commonly means MN here (the Mpls interstate signs use that), UM is Michigan-? Easy to be confused (UW here means Madison, not that other one on the west coast), all a matter of what one is used to.</p>
<p>Ya ok I was pretty sure I had seen U of M mean Minnesota. Ya the only two school I got into were UW’s haha. Washington and Wisconsin. Also I have seen UW-M mean Milwaukee which could be confusing to. People should just spell stuff out ;)</p>
<p>No they shouldn’t- too many letters. UWM ALWAYS means Milwaukee- no confusion, the flagship gets the simple moniker- UW.</p>
<p>^Yeah. I’ve never seen UWM mean Madison, and it shouldn’t. UWM is Milwaukee, not Madison.</p>
<p>When I see UM or U of M I’m thinking Michigan. I always try to call Minn Uminn for clarity.</p>
<p>All a matter of where you are- not many around here would think Michigan. I have had to clarify which UW on the parents site.</p>
