UW Madison Class of 2027 Official Thread

This is their target class, but they will accept more than this! They may try to anticipate a 25-30 percent yield.

That said, they do have some sort of minimum number for instate residents and they are seeing tons of OOS apps.

Good luck future badgers!

8,100 is their goal number to enroll meaning they accept far more than that.

Hang in there! Iā€™ve been amazed at the reach schools DD has gotten into and the target schools that she has been waitlisted at. Such a crap shoot this year.

Hi! Do you mean a minimum in state number that they admit?

will decision released today?

Is there any information on the number of applicants who received acceptances in the first round that went out at the end January?

I think they shoot for a certain percentage like around 50%?

Iā€™m getting sucked in to the ā€œany change to the portal means somethingā€ thought process. UGH. So hereā€™s one I just noticed: Clicking on My UW Housing used to go to an error page. Today it goes to an actual web page titled University Housing and says: ā€œHi, <applicantā€™s name>!ā€ Anyone else??

Where do I look to see the ā€œHi, <Applicantā€™s Name>ā€ message? Do you have to login?

Yes itā€™s in your MyUW portal. Click on My UW Housing. If you donā€™t have that option, click on the plus sign (ā€œAdd to Homeā€), search for it, then add it.

I can see the general University Housing page but not a ā€œHi <applicantā€™s name>ā€. Most of the buttons lead to an error

My daughter was also accepted EA and there were hints in her portal too immediately before decision, I believe. I think she could see the SOAR page in her user with a ā€œwelcomeā€ message vs. an error message? No guarentees they havenā€™t closed this up for RD round of course. And there may have been a period of time prior where stuff was just broken for everyone.

Crossing fingers for RD badgers!

I saw prospective university apartment residents, clicked on it, registered, and then saw Hi xxx. I am not sure this means much, since In the registration, I stated name. So it could be just using the information in the registration.

By registration do you mean the university housing registration?

Yeah. I truly donā€™t think it meant anything at least what I got. Click on other buttons leads to error. I feel in the other post, he meant that when he clicked on uw housing, it actually directly had hi xxx there

I was trying to include a screen shot of the screen I get with the ā€œHiā€, but it wonā€™t let meā€¦??? Still, my SOAR page still says: " You are not yet eligible to make a SOAR reservation. The most common reasons include:

  • You have not yet been admitted into UW-Madison" etc etc.
