<p>Good news- your HS gpa is ancient history once you have those college credits with a gpa above a 3.0. I don’t consider not having a job in college a weakness- you are fortunate you could just study. You all do not have too many credits either- you need to take your final 60 at UW I believe. Read the UW transfer admission website for the details. Your personal statement reflects who YOU are- reach into yourself and figure out what you want to say- no wrong answers. You all look like you have good chances of being admitted based on your college careers so far.</p>

<p>I just sent my application this week. Anyone know how long it takes to hear back?</p>
<p>My high school transcript just was marked received today. I waited until the end of my first semester in college to send everything. I called and they were not in office at all over the holidays which is part of the reason why it took so long.</p>

Joined the UWO Film Club and Community Garden</p>
<p>Madison received my application on December 27, all materials were received around early-mid January.
How does this look? I’m worried that the low level math course I was forced to take will look bad on my college transcript. I bombed the UW placement math exam and had to take an abysmally low level class.</p>
<p>@andyworks It depends on how much they weigh your college grades vs. high school grades because you don’t have a ton of college credit. Your college GPA is definitely good enough to get in but you don’t have a ton of credits. So it depends how they weight it. </p>
<p>My status changed from “received your application and are reviewing your file” to " being reviewed by one of our admission counselors" on the 25th. Anyone in the same situation, and any idea when I will probably be hearing back? </p>
<p>@fortyeightbits my status says the same thing, and it has for about a week. It changed a few days after I got everything in. I’m very curious about what that means.</p>
<p>For some reason it seems like decisions go out alot on Friday nights.</p>
