<p>I think you should get in, but I wouldn’t apply to all ivy league schools and use UW as your safety. I think that you should get into schools under ivy. Your GPA and ACT are very good, but you don’t stand out for schools that would make UW a true safety. Write good essays expressing why you want to attend UW. Good luck</p>

<p>Your junior year grades are the last ones seen by admissions committees making decisions so be sure to finish this school year strongly. Do show interest in your essays. Have other schools than Minn and Wis available as safeties even if you are likely to get into the flagships.</p>
