What to do to get into Wisconsin

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello folks! I'm currently a junior who's starting to focus on the ACT and college, specifically in the Midwest. I like Wisconsin the most, and people in my school often apply there. I live in Minnesota, so it's easier to get in due to the agreement with Wisconsin. I want to see how I will fit in with these stats:
3.77 W (3.70 UW). It could go down a bit this trimester though 😬
26 ACT ( Took it the first time. I should do better on February if I study hard.)
Planning on 4 extra curriculars this year, and I have a position.
From a suburb of St Paul
African American
I've noticed that people in my area and Wisconsin are having an easier time getting accepted this year than last. Tell me what I could do so that I won't get deferred. Thanks!</p>

<p>I would try to raise your ACT scores and work on your GPA. Also try to have some more EC’s that really stand out.</p>

<p>I don’t know how easy it is to get into Wisconsin from your school, but I know you need around a 4.0 if your coming from mine (we don’t really have a relationship with the school though because I’m from MA.) How do your stats compare to other kids that have gone there from your school?</p>

<p>Chance me back?

<p>Many of the kids in my school have over a 3.7 and its not rare to see people to have a gpa of over a 4.00</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I’m from Madison (really, really close to campus), and just about everyone from my high school (it’s the closest school to the university, proximity wise) applies. From what I have gauged in my years at the school, if you have above a 3.7 UW (my school doesn’t do weighted) and say a 28 ACT, and decent extracurriculars, you should be fine. Being African-American certainly doesn’t hurt, especially if you are male (from what I understand, the UW would like more African-American male students.) All in all, I would say if you raised your ACT to a 30, and kept your UW GPA above a 3.7, you should be all right.</p>
