  4. HS GPA: Prolly 2.0~3.0(American standards). Not certain because I don't know how to convert my HS GPA obtained in South Korea. This low score is my biggest concern in transfer admission.
  5. Two Essays: I believe my essays will be touching to the counselors. I talk about the experience that I had during my time at an IT company as an internship. I developed my own program to reduce repetitive work, and as a result, I completed the project, expected to be done in half a year, only within a week. I mentioned how this experience motivated me on many levels and connected the benefits with my future academic studies at UW-Madison.

How do you see my chance of getting into UW-Madison in CS?
