The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, which accepts 95% of applicants, has a somewhat less selective admissions process. If your SAT/ACT scores and GPA fall within the school's average ranges, you have a strong chance of being accepted. Keep in mind that UW-Milwaukee has a holistic admissions process involving other factors beyond your grades and test scores. A strong application essay and glowing letters of recommendation can strengthen your application, as can a rigorous course schedule. The university looks for applicants with four credits of English; three credits of math, natural science, and history or social science; and four elective credits which may include foreign language, fine arts, or computer science. The strongest applicants will have challenged themselves academically in high school, and success in AP, IB, Honors, and dual enrollment classes is one of the best ways to demonstrate college readiness. Students with particularly compelling stories or achievements can still receive serious consideration even if their grades and scores are outside UW-Milwaukee's average range.
The blue and green dots in the graph above represent accepted students. You can see that the majority of admitted applicants had grades in the "B" range or higher and ACT scores of 17 or better. Some students were admitted with lower grades and test scores.
