Does anyone know what it means to be a pre-business student at UW Madison? There’s no such course in their website.

Scroll down to the pre-business section and read. basically you have to apply to business school in your sophomore year after meeting a certain gpa with pre-requisite courses.

I am wondering whether that means I can do any course while taking business prerequisites

Thanks Moongal. It broke a streak of deferrals so it was nice to see him excited again.

Love that! That was my son 3 years ago, whatever…they’ll find me… I learned for the next one.

Do you mind sharing Stats?

796

Are there admitted students events? Could you share a link ?

797

I see my son’s admission page has listed “ major：computer science BS”, it is above the line “status：admitted”, not sure if it means direct admit to CS, as someone mentioned in this forum before there is no CS direct admit?

798

When do they release financial aid/merit? Did anyone get financial package w acceptance?

799

I did not see anything about Merit Aid. Are they releasing it later like Fordham did?

D22 got deferred for ME. She is a strong candidate. Not sure why.

801

My son’s friend was deferred with a 36 ACT, strong recs, APs, etc. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense, and sometimes it’s a yield
protection maneuver on UW’s part.

Wondering the same thing.

803

There is no rhyme or reason as to why some kids are getting in and others getting deferred. My daughter got deferred and has similar stats to the students I see got accepted-makes zero sense at all!!

So many deferred. Great candidates too. I don’t get it. They are acting like University of Michigan or an Ivy

Agreed-what is going on? Hoping they deferred many since they couldn’t get to many of the apps. When hearing kids with the same stats or even lower stats than my daughter is very frustrating. My daughter not only has grades/test scores but rigorous course load, EC’s…

what I meant to write-kids with same or lower stats getting in and my daughter is not-it’s very frustrating…no logic to this entire process
