<p>This is my number one school. Like number one. </p>
<p>Without uw GPA and class rank I don’t know that anyone can say anything meaningful. SAT is just below middle 50%. Probably should have tried ACT if it’s that important to you. The rest looks very good. Reciprocity with CT? That must be one little known program.</p>
<p>Uh, are you sure Wisconsin has reciprocity with Connecticut? You may want to double check that. I found nothing of the sort. The only state that we have reciprocity with (for universities) is Minnesota. </p>
<p>Unless you’re talking about something other than reciprocity. Or I’m wrong. But I would think reciprocity with Connecticut would be a little more known.</p>
<p>According to the infamous chart you’re probably in the 30-40% range with rigor, ECs, recs being the wildcards. I think you may be postponed but obviously no one here really knows.</p>
<p>From the various results we’ve seen so far, your test scores+GPA probably aren’t going to cut it for getting accepted right away. Perhaps after deferral</p>
<p>Midwest schools will accept either ACT or SAT but they get many more apps with the ACT. I’m saying it may be that you would have done better on the ACT had you taken it too. Recs and essays are just real wildcards, not much more to say.</p>
<p>You could email your admission counselor at UW and see if the December ACT would be in time to be considered. Needs to be with writing. Also, get the best grades you can this semester.</p>
<p>coldecoffee, then you probably shoulda been clearer. :B</p>
<p>And you won’t get instate tuition. You get the tuition of U of M. In-state tuition for Madison is $8313 for the year, and for Minnesota residents it’s $10318. </p>
<p>You also have to apply for reciprocity, but because you have been living in Connecticut and not in Minnesota with your dad, you may get denied. (Although my guess is you won’t get denied, because they aren’t that mean, and the terms of having parents living in different states, etc.)</p>
<p>College admissions don’t go to the students who want it most, be prepared to love another school as well as UW. Postponement means you are an acceptable candidate but that they won’t know if they will have room for you until they know how many others with better credentials apply. Students still have over 3 months to apply so they have to keep spaces available. Some of the best students wait until the last minute to apply.</p>
