Admissions Overview

Milwaukee School of Engineering is less selective with a 63% acceptance rate. This means most students who apply get in, though the school still maintains standards for its specialized engineering programs. The relatively high acceptance rate reflects MSOE's focus on finding students genuinely interested in hands-on technical careers rather than chasing prestige metrics. With 72% male enrollment, the school actively seeks to diversify its student body and encourages women to apply for engineering fields. MSOE looks for students who want to get their hands dirty with real engineering problems from day one. The school values practical aptitude and career focus over perfect test scores, seeking future engineers and technologists ready for intensive, application-based learning.
