<p>Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum. UW-Madison is my top choice school and I was just wondering what my chances were of being accepted and the chance of any merit aid? Thanks!</p>
<p>Gender: Female
State: California
Competitive private school
Unweighter GPA: 3.5
Weighted: 4.0
ACT: 32
Intended major: International studies
I also plan to go on the pre-med track. I am a competitive horseback rider and have been for about 8 years. I have about 150 hours of community service. I am hispanic as well as being a first generation college student. </p>
<p>3.5 UW is at the 25th percentile, but your ACT is way up there, and being a Hispanic first generation should help a lot too. You’re probably in.</p>
