<p>The unweighted GPA is a bit on the low side. What is your class rank? With a high ACT, and lower GPA, it may look like you are smart but not a hard worker.</p>

3

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance, the fact you’ve taken rigorous course work probably makes up for the lower unweighted plus you have solid extracurriculars. Good luck!</p>

<p>Thank you guys for your help. And, if race is an issue, I am indian. and our school doesn’t have class rank, but I am within the top 10%</p>

<p>Anyone else?? I’d love feedback.</p>

<p>Parent with current UW student, have watched several admissions cycles. If I had to predict, I would say with the high ACT and lower gpa, this would likely be postponed and then admit later in the admission cycle (early spring). </p>

<p>Agree with the above comments.</p>

<p>Thank you for your guys’ help, again. Your opinions are similar to my thought process to my situation. Never thought Wisc was this strict to OOS students</p>

<p>Last year UW admitted just over 70% of WI residents who applied as incoming fteshmen. It was much lower for non-residents.</p>

<p>ANYONE ELSE??? I am so nervous, as I have not received a decision when many of my school friends have!</p>

<p>Patience required. No posts will change anything. </p>
