<p>OOS applicants are not within the scope of UW’s mission to educate WI residents so OOS students need higher stats for acceptance than instate. An OOS applicant probably needs 3.7 unweighted and 30+ACT to be a serious candidate, but an instate student can have lower stats. Minnesota residents are in-between instate and OOS applicants because of reciprocity between MN and WI. </p>
