<p>I screwed up on my personal statement, I rushed to finish my app only to find out that the due date was a month later. This resulted in a very unpolished(not terrible, but not great) essay.</p>

<p>UPitt: Match
UWI: High match</p>

<p>I disagree with your analysis that UW Madison is a reach (as a Cheesehead myself :slight_smile: - especially not for you, but it is not exactly cutthroat selective like HYP - the accept rate is 66%, you should have no problem :)</p>
