Was wondering if anyone got direct admit to business and has not yet taken calculus? My son got in pre-business and hasn’t taken calc yet and it seems like all the friends who are direct admit have taken AP Calc.
Accepted into L&S!!
Does anyone know if and when they will be releasing more decisions today? Thanks!!!
@ret2112 Have you taken AP Calculus?
I’m taking AP Calc AB right now. @Packersfan123
@Packersfan123 there are students directly admitted to the WSB without having taken calculus in high school.
does anyone know if it is easy to transfer from L&S to engineering
Did anyone happen to ask if they’ll be releasing more decisions tonight? still waiting…
Have any internationals heard back yet?
Not yet!!!
@a1o1b7 - I have same question - "does anyone know if it is easy to transfer from L&S to engineering?
Getting anxious as got into 2nd choice and UW Madison ignore my 1st choice of Engineering
Deferred- OOS
3.8 GPA, 1410 SAT, Good extracurriculars/solid essays&recs
6 other students at my school were deferred. Do you suggest I reach out to the admissions office to show that I’m very interested in attending?
Its a crapshoot since they split hairs between thousands of OOS students with basically the same numbers. Keep your grades up and hold on. You’ll probably make it. Other great schools out there too.
