madison doesn’t accept people out of high school into engineering. Its something that you apply for after you get there. Wether that be after 1 semister or 2. Thats why the acceptance rate seems so high at 40%. The actual rate out of all applicants who entended to study engineering at madison is probably around 15-20% acceptance. The reason for this is that Madison is slightly higher in rankings then UMN-TC and is more well-known around the US. If I was you I wouldnt be nervous by any means considering you have acceptance into umntc which is still a very good school but at the same time you are definately not guaranteed admission into Madison engineering. You may receive admission into the actual university but its still a risk considering that only 40% of all applicants within Madison get into engineering. Take the safe bet and perform well in college.
