<p>I would like to make a thread for students to look at to see whos being accepted/defered/denied. If you have herd back from UW madison about your admissions decision please post here : the final decision, G.P.A (preferably unweighted), Class rank, Standardized test scores, extracurriculars, State that you live in, and any other factors that may have swayed your admission decision.</p>

<p>question: I’m almost positive uw is where I want to enroll but I’m thinking about applying to one more school RD. will waiting hurt my chances of getting my preferred residence hall?</p>

<p>Res Halls has no idea of where else you apply. btw- there will be a May computer lottery to determine who gets their first et al choice of dorm, regardless of when you are accepted/sign the Res Halls contract. Once you commit to Res Halls you can get out of your contract and deposit if you do not attend UW and notify them (as well as UW) in writing by the May deadline.</p>

<p>Hi, I don’t know your interests, but a girl I know from a neighboring high school had similar stats, and applied for the dance program, as well as her intended major. I don’t know the details, but the dance program is separate and not major, (more of an EC) and she had to audition. She’s convinced that her dance audition got her into the university, where her test scores may have held her back somewhat. She was accepted with a lower ACT and GPA than several other rejections in her same high school. Dance became her “hook”.</p>

<p>If you haven’t considered it, maybe look into getting involved in the dance program. Just a thought…</p>
