<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>
