Applied EA, UW-Madison is my 1st choice school
-29 ACT
-3.6 uw, 3.8 w GPA
-6 APs (env sci, world history, us history, psych, us gov, stats)
-4 dual-enrollment courses; these aren’t weighted, I just thought it might be worth mentioning
-4 years of marching band (color guard - captain senior year)
-2 years of FBLA, a few small public speaking awards
-nhs
-wi resident
-white female
-intended major: pre-nursing
What do you think my admission chances are?
Worth applying but have backups.

Your data is right in the center of what UW tends to accept though your GPA is on the lower end/lower than the STDEV. Ive wrote this a few times, but you applied EA. Take a breath and relax. Nothing that anyone here says will impact your acceptance into one of the top universities in the country. Hang on for these next few weeks and it will be alright.
Good Luck and On Wisconsin!!
I had a gpa of 3.8 (downward trend because of depression and ex boyfriend) and a 28 ACT.
You might be deterred like I was but you have a good chance getting in. Just don’t be discouraged if you get waitlisted: or deferred m; just focus on keeping your grades an at an A or AB (In regards to dual enrollment) and you should be good.
Good luck!!
@schultzie1117 did you have a lot of AP and Dual Enrollment ? is the GPA your unweighted? also how was your rank compared to peers and out of how many students…
