<p>UW uses only unweighted grades- no extra points in the gpa for honors or AP. They do look at the rigor of your curriculum, ie if you take the easy or hard versions of available courses, though. Sounds as if you are competitive and should consider applying. BTW- the Wis Track Club (not to be confused with the UW running club) has year round workouts (winter use of the Memorial Shell next to the stadium), team members run in several CC races (against other clubs and Div III teams at meets) and they were the men’s club CC national champions last fall. Madison is a great place for runners.</p>
