UW Madison Early Action for Fall 2022 Admission

PA was def not in first wave

Around what time do decisions typically come out?

Someone earlier said 9 pm central time last year

I donā€™t think it means anything is imminent. Just something new from the admissions team. The ā€œsee what we did thereā€ was the only thing that gave be pause just because I did not understand why it was included.

Based on my experience two years ago, it seems like the decisions came out in the early evening. Maybe around 7 CST? Definitely after 5 CST.

What does ā€œsee what we did thereā€ even mean?

Seriously?! When I originally posted I was unaware that the acceptance was not part of the general pool and actually thought it would be a steady stream. I was merely posting as hundreds of people do daily here when they find out. Now it would appear that they notified recruited athletes as part of an initial group. I do not need to prove anything to anyone and am a little offended by the accusation to be honest. I wish you the best of luck with your decision when it arrives and in the event you get accepted I wonā€™t be asking for proof, I will just do the appropriate thing and congratulate you.

Interesting. I took ā€œwhereā€™s the proof of acceptance ā€œ to mean ā€œwhere do I look to see if I have an acceptance?ā€, as in, where is it on the portal

Maybe I misread but it was an odd way to phrase it if that was the intended question and if it was I will absolutely apologize for my mistake. ā€œproof of acceptanceā€ is just not something you ask if you are trying to determine where to find your own admissions decision.

I phrased the question wrong. I was trying to say where do I see proof of my acceptance.

sorry for the miscommunication. admissions sent an email with the title ā€œUW-Madison Application Decision Available Onlineā€. the body of the email explained how to retrieve the decision via the portal. When accessing the portal, there was a notification in the Notification Center. on opening the tab, there was a link to an acceptance letter. HTH

any chance decisions are released tonight or this weekend?

i hope so, but probably not tbh

thanks!

Realizing that this is more reading of the portal tea-leaves, but my DD has FAFSA info in her portal. Not sure if it has always been there or not??

Yes, FAFSA has been in my portal for a couple of weeks now.

We canā€™t get into the portal this morning. Anyone else?

nevermind. Tried it again about a half hour later and got in. Really odd though, didnā€™t let us in several tries in a row. Gave an error message that Iā€™ve never seen.

any possibility for a decision release today? idk if they have ever released on a sundayā€¦

Iā€™d be shocked if they started to broadly release before Jan. 21, and itā€™s more likely gonna be Jan. 28. If anything, the Whisky admissions office tends to drag, not be early the last few years.
