Has anyone applied as a Spring 2020 transfer to UW-Madison? Looking for other people that have applied just so we can get a thread going!!!

I’m currently at a Junior standing. I applied to UW-Madison for fall 2019 and got rejected upon poor grades from my previous university, lacking a transferable math credit, and not taking enough stem-based classes. However, I got a 3.9 from the community college I attended in spring 2019 and now I am taking college algebra at MATC which is a directly transferable math credit! Also, I’m taking two science classes and one of them includes a lab. What about you guys? Want to see what my chances are.

Same here. This is my first time applying UW Madison, but it’s my second transfer application. I got a 3.2 from my first university and a 3.74 from current one. And I’m in my Junior year as well. I’m not quite confident due to the 3.2.
And I’ve heard some people said they would release the first wave in late November or early December, is that true? (their website says the decision will be given in the end of December) BTW I am applying physics major.

Check on the rules for credits for a transfer. You need to do enough UW corurses to get a UW degree. Not even sure that many credits allows you in.

@nobunagaa I’m pretty certain they don’t release decisions until the end of December around Christmas time. Also, as long as you meet the requirements for classes and have a good GPA/essay, you should be fine!

@Ryder9 111 is a lot. I believe you can only have 72 credits from a 2 year university. I’m not sure from a 4 year university.

@wis75 not sure if you were responding to me, but I have around 50+ credits under my belt. only about 14 of them are in the UW system though because I took classes at MATC. however, I have transferable credits from my other two universities.

What day do you guys think we will hear back about admittance? Looking at past year I was thinking November 29 but that is the day after Thanksgiving so I don’t know if they will send out emails or not.
