<p>Very good. The official chart says your admission chance is around 80%. See <a href="http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_FreshmanExpectations.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW_FreshmanExpectations.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>My advise is submit your application asap. In your essay, focus on why you are a good fit. I think your worst case scenario is a "postpone" decision which gives you another chance to send in supplement info. If you could by any chance push your GPA over 3.7 by 2/1, it will be great!</p>
