Post # 695- gpa of 90= what on a 4.0 scale??? If 90-100 is an A then a rather low gpa, a reason to be rejected. Test scores can be high but low grades can mean poor study habits- not a good indicator for success in college. Plus- too many others more likely to succeed.
Hey guys… I can’t seems to find anything on my portal, anyone can tell me where exactly in student center will I find my decisions??? I’m about to have s breakdown…please help thanks in advance!!!
@Ricsung this is just the first wave of decisions. You’d receive an e-mail if your decision is ready. I completely understand what you’re going through. Don’t worry.
@wis75 my 90 gpa is 3.6/4.0 on an unweighted scale. Im surprised i was rejected because my grades have increased Freshman to Junior year, i took 8 APs, and was heavily involved in extracurriculars. Regardless, a rejection from a very good school like wisconsin is nothing for me or anyone to be discouraged about. Congrats to everyone else who was accepted!
