Remember those SAT scores are the old ones. The new ones are still being evaluated as well. It’s going to be interesting.
@Seacoast - While I’d be surprised if the new SAT ends up concording differently from the College Board tables, that’s actually a secondary issue. An ACT of 30 / old SAT of 2000 will probably continue to hold for OOS applicants (unless the numbers bump up a bit due to Common Ap volume). Not a hard and fast rule, but a good guideline. (btw, people are continuing to submit the old SAT for this admission cycle).
Yeah I agree I did both old and new. Can’t wait to find out…January is so long to wait…

-I applied for Computer Science and submitted my application on September 1st.
I heard directly from an admissions worker that last year the decisions started rolling out around mid December, and this year, we shouldn’t expect to hear back from UW-Madison until early January 
Your stats look decent for in-state, which has an acceptance rate of almost 70%.
Here are my stats I am from Minnesota and applied EA.
GPA: 4.0/4.0 UW
ACT: 36
SAT: 1570/1600
Honors: National Merit Semifinalist, National Hispanic Recognition Program Scholar, National AP Scholar, AP Scholar with Distinction
Activities: Juggling (captain of team that got silver medal in international competition), Young Republicans, DECA, National Honor Society, Caddy in the summers, Sunday School Teacher
I applied for Biomedical Engineering and UW Madison is probably my top choice school right now!
Apply for the generous Chancellor’s Scholarship Program. It is not need-based. You qualify because you are Hispanic.
Last year first wave of decision is on 12/05

^^Nope - the legitimate decisions actually did not start until December 18th last year.
Are you an employee of UW-Madison admissions? Genuinely curious
No. If I were, I’d be too busy to post here.
I just got accepted to Madison yesterday, is that unusual?
In truth, I am not that spectacular of a candidate. 31 Act, meh GPA, but I got extra curricular activities and stuff. If I get accepted early, like Nov 22 early, does that mean anything special? Because I do not believe it is luck, I just may be overlooking something.
Really? Are you in-state or out-state or international?
They are releasing their decisions already? Cool, that’s exciting to hear. Congratulations btw. You must have had an amazing application if u got accepted this early.
Congrats, @HipHopIsMade - how great to have that decision before Thanksgiving!
Can you please provide your state of residence and also do you happen to have any hooks (such as athletics or URM or First Gen. or Legacy)? Can you share your uw GPA?
Thanks!
