<p>Do I have any chance at University of Wisconsin-Madison out of state? Also, it would be gladly appreciated if you could suggest solid safety, and match schools. Thank you for your help!</p>

2

<p>I'd say as a reach, yes. Under 50% chance.</p>

3

<p>I'd say 90 percent chance yes....I had a 3.0 and lower SAT's and got in.</p>

<p>Barrons, thank you for the chart. I wish every school created a chart like that.</p>

7

<p>I just can't see that chart being accurate...I had lower than 20 percent chance according to that chart, and I got in. I don't consider my admission luck either as madison was not a safety but definately a reasonable school for me.</p>

<p>what's your rank?</p>

<p>Hmm... Your GPA is really the only thing that brings your application down. If you can prove your highschool is competitive, I think you have better than a 50-50 chance, despite what the chart says.</p>
