Hello,
I am a junior OOS from Maryland. I really really love the University of Wisconsin Madison. I am really interested in what they have to offer especially their Russian Flagship Program. The university is one of i think seven in the country that offer this program. The other ones are UCLA and a couple of liberal arts colleges located in the northeast. Please Chance Me and see wether I’d have a shot getting into my dream school.
