Son denied, 94.3 GPA, 33 ACT OOS very surprised, Navaince & Guidance from his school showed as fit/safety. Congrats to all admitted!
OOS (Ohio) daughter deferred. Nuclear Engineering. 3.9 GPA, 34 ACT, good ECs, ect. Scoir showed it as a likely admit. Of her classmates, 5 deferred, 1 admit, and 1 deny. Last year, same school, 5 deferred, 2 admits. Of the 5 deferred, 2 ultimately denied, 1 admitted and other 2 not updated (probable deny?). So perhaps this year not so different from last?
My daughter wants to write a letter as well, but we canât find the name of the specific admissions counselor for our region (and our guidance counselor wasnât able to either). Did you send letter to a specific person or just to admissions in general?

Have they denied anyone or only deferred?

D23 deferred. Bio, OOS, 4.0UW/4.6W, 16 AP/H, editor-in-chief, founded two large clubs, varsity, part-time job, city volunteer award.
Does anyone know if weâre supposed to enter our LOCI into the comment section in the mid-year grades form?
Definitely have denied people, my sonâs friends denied.

Thatâs good to hear. Especially being deferred
QuestionâŠdoes everyone else who was admitted have the mid-year grades link in the student center/Admissions tile? When I click on it, the wording states that all freshman applicants are asked to report mid-year grades. There is nothing in my to-do listâŠyet.
I have the same for an admitted OOS . I assume we will need to report midyear grades and final year grades-self report?
I feel like she just emailed it to admissions and they said theyâd put it in her file. If I remember correctly our HS didnât have a specific admissions person. Iâd probably have her email and then follow up with a phone call to make sure itâs there.

I donât know what is in Dâs portal but her grades were reported by her school through the common app and downloaded by UW. If I remember correctly, her school has a âfinal grade report formâ so only the school student commit to get their final grades, but it is still done by the HS counselor.

Oh, thatâs right-thank you for your reply. Now that I think of it, the HS asked that they be notified which schools require midterm grades so they can send, and they report through Naviance. Will make sure D23 does this.

Thanks!
Does anyone know if youâre able to change your majors if deferred. For example since business is very hard to get into, can I switch it to L&S?
My son was wondering the same thing. Hopefully someone can provide insight!

An email just came out on what to do next.

Yup, just got the email as well. We ended up placing the LOCI inside the formâs comment block since the direction for it says, âyou may provide any significant additions to your extracurricular involvement.â So my D23 just wrote about all the stuff she did since Nov.
state of residency? Major/College applied to?

That profile reads more like someone who gets deferred from Penn, not Wisconsin. If that set of stats got deferred, itâs likely a âthis person wonât be coming hereâ calculation, if not actual yield protection. The rigor of courseload, SAT scores and AP scores reflected here are all .5 percentile stuff and well out of line with the average (even out of state) Wisconsin admit. 13 AP courses?
