<p>I think your essays will make or break you. Though I’m not an expert on Wisconsin admissions.

<p>You definitely have a decent chance, if your clubs are impressive clubs, and not useless ones. Also, I agree that your essays will play a major role.</p>

<p>Pretty good chance, IMO. Make sure to keep that GPA rising, and write strong essays, and you’ll be good to go.</p>

<p>You have a really strong chance of getting in. Not to make you stressed but a lot is riding on your essay. Being a minority definitely helps you so make sure you play it up. Is your basketball team good? And also what are the clubs? Good luck</p>

<p>BUMPPP</p>

<p>Your GPA and test scores are average for Wisconsin so that’s alright so your ECs and essay and recommendations will really sway your acceptance. I wouldn’t be worried. </p>

<p>Good luck & thank you for chancing me!</p>

<p>I think you have a good overall chance of getting in because of your stats, but like the people above me, I agree that a lot depends on your essay. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Very good chance…I think you would be a review admit though, so you would be admitted based on your essays, ECs, and leadership, as well as your test scores. Try and take the SAT one more time, and if you haven’t taken the ACT, take it also.</p>

11

<p>If the essays are as good as you say they are, I think you will get in for sure. It seems evident that you have leadership qualities, and while your GPA and scores good be better, they aren’t bad, so I think you’ll be fine. Also, (and I’m not being racist here) the fact that you are a minority helps your admission chances as well. </p>

12

<p>I’d say you have a decent chance. Your essays will most likely be the determinant in this case. Good luck!</p>

13

<p>You’re a high match, good luck. Nothing Is 100%, but it would be a surprise for you to not get it. Thanks for chancing me earlier btw </p>

14

<p>I think you have a very highs chance of getting in. Your EC’s a definitely above averages and your academics scores are on par to get in. I don’t even think your essay even has to be that good, as long as it doesn’t suck I think your in. Check out this link, it shows a graph for acceptances to Wisconsin based on GPA and ACT scores. <a href=“University of Wisconsin-Madison: Acceptance Rate, SAT/ACT Scores, GPA”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/GPA-SAT-ACT-Graphs/ss/university-of-wisconsin-madison-admission-gpa-sat-act.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>You have a good chance. You fit the profile for the university. I’m pretty certain you’ll get in with a good essay.

<p>depending on major, you should have a fairly decent chance ( sat brings you down a little but not much)… unless you’re applying to engineering where then, you’re chances would be lower (20% lower about).</p>

<p>GPA and SATs could be a little higher, but it all comes down to your essays and whether or not you stand out, but it looks like you have. Good luck</p>

<p>Are you instate for UWisconsin Madison? When did you send your complete application?
If you sent it in September and as you stand (as described in OP), it’s a match. A higher score would be necessary if you apply later on.
What other schools have you applied to?
(One shouldn’t just apply to one school. Even if you get in, what do you do if the financial package isn’t enough? Better to have several choices. For instance, if you qualify for WI, you may qualify for Honors at UWI-Lacrosse or UWI-River Falls. You could try for a scholarship at Beloit if you’re the quirky type, or try for Marquette if you’re really into sports or try Lawrence if you’re into science… Out of state, schools like Creighton, Butler, Luther, St Thomas, are within reach. In addition, you benefit from an exchange with MN, so you could apply to UMN-Twin Cities or any public school in MN that strikes your fancy and is affordable.)
Run the Net Price Calculator on each school (including UWI) and bring the results to your parents. See what they say about costs. Make sure you have 3 schools within budget at least.</p>
