HS GPA: 3.9ish

As a transfer student your high school information will not be used to consider admission to the School of Business. Are you currently taking classes in NY? How many credits will you have by the end of Spring 18? As an international student, you are required to take a minimum of 12 credits per semester. Assuming you are applying for transfer admission for Fall 18, if you enter UW with more than 61 credits you will be ineligible to apply to the School of Business (61+24=85, 85 is the maximum credits you may have earned to still be eligible to apply the the WSB)

@oboemom65 I am currently taking classes in NY. By the end of Spring 18, I will have around 57-58 credits. If I enter UW with 57-58, I will have around 81-82 credits at the end of Spring 19. Do you think I have a shot for UW Madison?

I don’t chance students. I am happy to provide the information I know, but I don’t chance students.
