<p>Please let me know what you guys think my chances are. i am very anxious, and nervous. Any help would be gladly appreciated.</p>

<p>For UW check the chart under freshman expectations (under admissions), using an unweighted 3.4 GPA and a 26 ACT the chances are 50%. Do remember to add any nonrequired data, such as an essay and teacher recs, that are optional; it may tip the balance. Remember, at UW, you get accepted to the whole university, not a specific field. UW-Madison has a nice, easy to navigate website.</p>

<p>My son had about the same stats as you do, and he got into Purdue. We are from NY</p>
