<p>So it feels like forever ago that I was deferred. Does anyone know when the first wave of decisions will come out? I can't wait any longer!</p>
<p>yeah i was wondering about that too! i don’t think i can wait till the end of march :(</p>
<p>I thought it was POSTPONED for UW admissions- this is NOT the same as a deferral. Just means you have to continue waiting for the decision.</p>
<p>^^which is the same as a deferral </p>
<p>Have you contacted your admissions person regarding the postpone to show interest? We have not yet</p>
<p>@doberlady how do you contact your specific representative to show interest?</p>
<p>Doberlady, at UW-Madison, ‘postponement’ and ‘deferral’ have two distinctly different meanings.</p>
<p>Postponed is when the admission decision is delayed.</p>
<p>Deferral is when an admitted freshman applicant requests to defer the date by one year that he or she begins at UW-Madison. (Thus this thread should be titled differently).</p>

<p>Requesting a Deferral
Admitted domestic freshman students may request deferred admission for one year by completing the Freshman Request for Deferral (PDF). <a href=“http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/freshmanDeferralRequest.pdf”>http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/freshmanDeferralRequest.pdf</a> Students who are granted a deferral can read our Deferred Admission Fact Sheet (PDF) <a href=“http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW-Madison_Deffered_Admission_FAQ.pdf”>http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/images/UW-Madison_Deffered_Admission_FAQ.pdf</a> for important information about reapplying for a future term.</p>
<p>For the purpose of this thread title they are the same meaning </p>
<p>Does anybody know when Madison will decide of the people that got deferred?</p>
<p>I got deferred to Madison and i was wondering if you guys could calculate my chances or anything like that
3.4 GPA
30 ACT
~3.35 GPA 1st Semester senor year
Strong Extracurriculars- Going to Nationals in Debate</p>
<p>NO deferrals- postponements thus far. sara… your record doesn’t sound very good this year, especially when you have a high ACT score. Extracurriculars never trump the academics. Be sure you have good study habits to succeed in college- it will require them.</p>
<p>My D got deferred with 3.49 (3.8 1st term senior year) and 34 ACT. Admitted to Umich. Wish we’d hear from Wisconsin. Does anyone know when postponements hear back?</p>
<p>Do they look at regular decision apps first and then do postponed? And if you’re not admitted until March 31, does that reduce your chances for financial aid?</p>
I think it’s supposed to be at the end of February, first week of March. That’s what some people said. I got deferred and got a 4.25 this semester so I hope I get in.
