<p>What exactly is your UW GPA?
Do you have any SATII or AP scores to report?
Why isn't UW-Madison on your list? It has a much better reputation than UofM.
You ought to be in at UofM and Marquette for sure. Excellent ACT score and ECs.</p>

<p>UW Madison is not on my list simply because I already live in Madison, about 8 blocks from the campus. I want to get the "full college experience" and live somewhere new. Marquette is my safety, but i guess U of M could be counted as that too? i think my UW GPA is around 3.5. and i havent gotten my AP scores back yet, and I havent decided whether or not I want to take SAT II's. Do you think that would help?</p>

<p>yes pay over $10000 more a year so you can go to ****tier schools. flawless execution</p>

<p>I got my AP Euro exam scores back. It's a 5 :D</p>
