<p>Business is okay, i'm not sure about chem. I'd go to US news and world report and check it out for myself. I know that Michigan and Berkeley are much higher on the list. #3 for Insurance studies. Please check us news. <a href="http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankbusiness_brief.php%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/rankbusiness_brief.php&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>when madison came to my school to talk about admissions, they said that they love seeing improvement in grades like that. I'm sure you'll be fine</p>

<p>The fact that you are out of state will make it harder, but your scores are fine. People at my Wisconsin school have gotten in with pretty low scores and such. I don't think your ethnincity has much weight at Madison. </p>

<p>Where else are you applying?</p>

<p>Chemistry is Top 10</p>

<p>intotherain, what r your reasons for wanting to go to Wisconsin? (I need some convincing for myself...)</p>

<p>Wisconsin :
Lower tuition fares compared to other private and public colleges.
Outstanding graduate dept in my intended major in biology.
Really great study abroad program. The most diverse in my list, trumping over some ivies and top publics.</p>

<p>agree with the above but get in contact with the admissions counselor just in case. I had a 1570 Math Verbal and a lower GPA (3.1) and was accepted.</p>
