Is it easier to get into U Wisconsin-Madison or U Washington-Seattle?

Applying to College
1

<p>For a Minnesota Resident.</p>

<p>Stats for U Wash are a little lower but you would be out of stte. For Wisconsin you would be reciprocal so I think it would be easier.</p>

3

<p>UW's not hard to get into if you're in-state, but out of state, it's harder.</p>

4

<p>Washington only accepts 65-ish per cent of the applicant pool, so it's not exactly easy, even for in-state.</p>

<p>don't know about Washington, but Wis provides a handy chart for your chances.</p>

<p>Disagreement it sounds like.</p>

<p>Don't refer to them as UW, because they are both "UW's." haha.</p>

<p>It's hard to tell. Depends. If you're into engineering, it might be harder to get into UW-Seattle if you're out of state. Seattle has also started a new "wholistic" approach to the application process--it used to be that they had a chart with SAT scores/GPA, but now they look at essays/classes/all that jazz. This year the number of UW applications grew tremendously, which meant more rejections than ever. I predict that for the class of 2009 it should be even more difficult. Meanwhile, the number of acceptances for internationals grew, so that 40% of internationals were accepted. This is the reason why, when you walk around the campus, you might notice a prominent asian population.</p>

<p>For Wisconsin I can't say. Just know that UW-Seattle is becoming more presitgious every year.</p>

<p>You might also notice a large Asian population because there are tons of asians in Seattle and on the west coast...</p>
