<p>I applied for transfer here and... err.. hahah, I forgot to pay the application fee until yesterday, which was probably not one of the brightest things I've ever done in my life. On the plus side, everything else was in. It updated recently to say my application was "being prepared for review." Does anyone know how long that takes? I've read 4 to 6 weeks on here, but those were high students applying for their freshman year.</p>
<p>Also, Madison doesn't require recommendation letters, but two letters are encouraged. They don't ask or seem to care about them either way at the other UW schools. I didn't see the Madison part until yesterday, so I didn't bother sending letters in. I have about a 3.8 GPA at Wake Forest, 2190 SAT and 31 ACT, so I'm not an awful student or anything. Will not sending the 2 letters of recommendation in hurt me anyway?</p>
