People who received the delay email, when do you think we should expect a decision? I know they said the new year, but do we think that means closer to when the office reopens, or later?
My daughter was accepted to the School of Education. This was her desire, but we thought you couldn’t be admitted until jr. year. Does anyone know about this? Is it a full admittance to SOE? Is it a kind of pre-admittance? Thanks for any insight.

Question : How competitive is the CS major at U Madison? Its ranked 13th for CS.
Also heard that kids have to take some weed out courses to stay in the program. Any idea?
I’m from Illinois and did not receive the delay email but still haven’t heard back. Anyone else?
@staycalm123 my kid is a CS freshman. I think many many students start CS and there is natural attrition through the first couple years as students get through those weeder courses. Your student should have NO trouble if they can prioritize academics effectively. In particular if they have done any CS course work successfully that makes for a good set up. It is an excellent program and those grads tend to do very well. As far as I can tell, they do not have hard caps on how many they accept into the major. I think natural attrition helps and I think they are working on expanding the program to accommodate more.
@jayrow Her intended major must be within the School of Education so she is accepted into that school. After about two years of coursework she will apply to her program. My daughter is in the School of Education as well and will apply during her sophomore year for her Elementary Education major.
