Transfer Chance - U of Wisconsin Madison

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Female, First semester at UW-Whitewater, Special Ed major, looking to transfer to UW-Madison for Fall 2013.
15 credits in health science, math, English, sociology and special education with a 3.89 that I'm certain I will maintain until the semester ends, and I should be able to increase that to a 4.0.
Next semester I am taking 17 credits in math, biology, history, English, and polisci.
I do volunteer service through the university, visiting area nursing homes. I will have one LOR from my English prof and one from a high school teacher.</p>

<p>I didn't get in as a freshmen, and I feel like my freshmen year in HS and my uneven ACT score is what did that. I got a 25, and I call it uneven because my highest section (reading) was a 30 and lowest (math) was a 22.
My ending HS GPA was 3.2, but my junior and senior semesters where all between 3.6 and 3.9, so I display a really nice upward trend.
I took:
AP English Language
AP English Literature
AP Psychology
AP Biology
So as you can see, I'm well rounded in every subject except math.
I was in choir, band, musical, history team and youth group, have been employed at the same restaurant since 2008, and for junior and senior year I did work in the Special Ed department at my high school, some paid and some unpaid. </p>

<p>Would anyone be able to chance me to transfer to UW as a sophomore? And if possible, give me any ideas to make me a stronger candidate? Thanks. :)</p>

<p>Bump? I’ll chance back so long as I’m familiar with the school :)</p>

<p>I would say you have really good chances and since submitting your ACT score is optional I’d encourage you not to submit it, since it’s below their averages.</p>

4

<p>I applied as a freshmen so they have my ACT on file already. But my final gpa for the first semester was a 3.94.</p>

5

<p>sorry for the double post but,
My next semester schedule is 17 credits in history, Asian studies, math, physics and English.</p>

<p>I think you have a very good chance of getting in and like the other person said the ACT is low but you are now in college so after a certain amount of credits that should not matter to much anymore! I am transferring or wanting to transfer there as well.</p>

<p>I applied for transfer admissions with a high school gpa of 3.8 and first semester college gpa of 3.76… anyone know my chances of getting it?</p>

<p>also, I applied at the end of November (2012) and they FINALLY changed my admission status to “being reviewed by a counselor” a week ago… how long do I have to wait now?</p>
