Test optional
Son accepted - direct admit to business school. From California
4.0 gpa, no test scores, a lot of extra curriculars and 9 AP. Good luck to all still waiting.
I see so many acceptances wo test scores. Do you think it was a mistake to send scores? We live in Florida and most tests werenât canceled. By the way my daughter has not heard, just worried now.
Iâll let my daughter answer. She is cramming for finals tomorrow.
I donât know her exact stats. 3.9 something UW, 9 or 10 AP classes, 2 varsity sports, editor-in-chief of school paper, 6 years NCL, Girl Scout Gold Award. Tons of community service, leadership, etc

This is part of the letter:
âDeferred applicants have the potential for success at UW-Madison, however, we would like to review mid-year grades and other supporting material (if provided) prior to making a final decision. Further support your application by self-reporting mid-year or trimester grades as soon as they are available and no later than Monday, February 15. Instructions will be emailed to you in January.You may also update your admissions file with additional information such as new activities and recent
honors or awards. Our admissions committee will re-review your application and you will receive an admissions decision by the end of March.â
At least until January we can apply for bunches of scholarships, and see what happens⊠I hope your daughterâs ok with the deferment
I would say today. This year decisions are sent quite early. In the past it was usually Friday afternoon.

Will my Florida baby make it? Lol
Accepted(around 9hours ago) from India
Major:Computer Science(College of Arts and Sciences)
ACT: 36/36
SAT Subject Test: Maths 2 and Chemistry-800/800
Grades: 10th-96.6%(School 3rd, All India CS Topper); 11th-94%(Both mid year and finals-school topper); 12th-99.25%(School Topper); Unfortunately, school does not report rank, but says top 5%(I have been the subject topper in all subjects, so I made 2 of my teachers put that in their LORs)
APs-I just gave the papers, as my school follows the Indian board ICSE/ISC and does not offer classes. Calculus BC, Physics C Mechanics, Chemistry, Computer Science A, and EVS-all 5
ECs: I did a lot of STEM related work. Full details regarding my profile is available on my site here: https://www.arhaanaggarwal.com/
Essays: I think I wrote a decent Wisconsin Essay which showed a good amount of interest. My Common App Essay was very good .
LORs: I submitted recs from my CS(teacher taught me in 9th, 11th, and 12th) and Chemistry(teacher taught me in 11th and 12th) teachers. They both loved me, and I am sure that my CS rec was extraordinary, and even my Chemistry rec wouldâve been pretty good(as good as the teacher couldâve given). According to the Chemistry teacher it was the best rec she had ever written. The only thing I see with my recs is that my CS rec was around 3-4 pages long.
Who all from India got their decisions, and who all got in(just curious)??
Does anyone know when will University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and Georgia Tech results come out for International kids?
Connecticut and nothing yet. Applied mid October.
Georgia - nothing yet. Someone posted that it is about 10 degrees up in Wisconsin. Seriously questioning whether my darling son realized just how cold it gets there when he applied!
I got in from India as well. Got into college of L&S for CS
Thatâs pretty cool. Is it true that a lot of kinds from India have not heard till now?? I know a lot of my batch mates and friends havenât heard till now. @Stilletos02d what were your profile and stats like??
We donât seem to have any update on status. Submitted mid-October. michigan.
In the past, have the results been released in batches, few states at a time? a few international students have also received decisions, very tough to see the pattern!
It seemed not the case last year. All EA applicants got notified in a single batch. Hopefully, all results are coming out soon.
