does anyone know what day the decisions will be released

Oh, thatā€™s interesting. Especially since someone on here posted that they got accepted over the weekend. Huh.

I called admissions last week & they would not give me any info that differed from their late January timeline. But, Iā€™m thinking with the portal changes some have reported there is a chance for sometime this week.

Same. Ours changed over the weekend and it seems that happened across the board so Iā€™d presume theyā€™re preparing to release. Hopefully this week - fingers crossed!

I think the admitted student was a recruited athlete, so likely under a different category for admissions decisions.

Agreed. Hopefully itā€™s still a good sign that the general population will be hearing soon!

You are correct! I spoke to a ā€œfriend of a friendā€ who work in admission office and was told over the weekend that recruited athletes and one other group of students (canā€™t remember which group) are admitted first before the general public. We are anxiously awaiting too for one of our children.

No, itā€™s not.

Yes, recruited athlete. Hope that means they are moving through the applications and they will start rolling out other groups soon!

Does UW-Madison have great indoor rowing facilities? I assume it can be challenging to row outdoors all year round. Well, I noticed that Dartmouth has 57 heavyweight menā€™s rowing members and itā€™s cold up there so everyone makes it work. Two Texans on their roster!

Yes, they do :slight_smile: They all make it work and interestingly there are more top teams residing in cold weather climates than warmer ones but they also all typically spend a portion of winter break training in states with nice warm winter weather.

Yes a newish facility right on Lake Mendota next to the HC White Library and main Student Union.

Does anyone know the OOS acceptance rate for the engineering school specifically? I cant seem to find anywhere if it is any more selective than arts and sciences, business, etcā€¦

I know business is selective. My daughter got into Kelley direct admit and 36 k over four years but we are told Wisconsin business direct admit is much harder. With a 30 and 3.8 weighted you get Kelley. Thatā€™s a tough pull for OOS anything at wisco.

I know someone who is in business at Wisconsin (maybe pre-business?) and had 3.5 WGPA and 30 act. Full pay. Maybe UW is a bit more holistic?
