<p>Which is a better school overall? What are the similarities/differences between these schools, and which school do you prefer? (ignore interest/major).</p>
<p>UW, better campus, much better town, more fun, slightly better academics.</p>
<p>Which one is easier to get into from NYC? It seems like UW has lower stats.</p>

<p>Your UW ACT range is wrong. It is 26-30, avg 28. The SAT range is 1180-1350. Most take the ACT
UW takes many more OOS than Ill. Like 30% vs 10%. Most OOS at UI are for engineering and have high SAT's.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure the SAT range for UW is 1180-1370 and I bet it'll be even higher. </p>
<p>A classmate of mine was deferred with a 2260.</p>
