<p>In order to bcome a Wisconsin resident you would have to live instate and work full time for a calendar year. I suspect you also need to support yourself- no just living here and letting your parents pay your rent and other bills while you get a low wage job. We pay taxes to support our instate colleges- you can pay your high WI taxes and earn the right to get instate tuition (even if the state support isn’t that great).</p>

<p>It is even a bit murkier than that. All about intent and evidence. </p>

<p>My daughter appiled and is waiting to hear. She has a 2.85 GPA and a 25 ACT with no AP or honors classes and/or extraciriculuar activities. Does the average kid have a chance?</p>
<p>Yes, at UW Oshkosh.</p>
<p>Really, no chance at all?</p>
<p>While I wish her the best, since I don’t know the particulars other than what you’ve posted, I’ll just mention that many kids from my high school were denied with ACT > 25 and GPA > 3.4 UW. It seems as if each year, the bar gets raised. I have 2 friends that were postponed with 27 ACT and 3.6 GPA’s, honors classes, solid EC’s. Naviance for my school shows average accepted have 30 ACT and 3.74 UW GPA.</p>
<p>Chance–sure but very small on average. Have backups.</p>
<p>don’t think so. she doesn’t have any EC and below 3.4GPA. is very very very hard to get in</p>
<p>can anyone chance me for university of wisconsin?

<p>Does UW consider first semester senior year grades?</p>
<p>
Certainly if you apply in the second notification or are postponed after review during the first notification.</p>
<p>What if you’re not?</p>
<p>So, I think you’re asking, “If I am accepted, does Wisconsin consider 1st semester grades?”</p>
<p>The answer is YES, they look at 1st semester, actually they look at the entire senior year grades when your high school submits your final transcript in June. The grades get considered, and in very rare cases, they may rescind your offer to attend Wisconsin. It’s my understanding that this is rare, but if you totally blowup your senior year, get some D’s and F’s, you could be in danger. If you get a C or 2, probably won’t hear anything. As has been posted many times…don’t blowup!</p>
<p>Has anyone who was postponed heard back yet?</p>
