Wisconsin international admissions

<p>Hey all-</p>

<p>I got some information today that I hope could be useful to others in this situation as well. My bf applied for Spring 09 transfer on Oct 1. Although he is a US green card holder and we are state residents, his prior international university schooling meant his info went to the admin counselor dealing with international students. After receiving no information and the online admissions page going to some unintelligible statement, we decided to head on down to Admissions today.</p>

<p>1) There is ONE person handling international applicants- they had two, need THREE due to volume, but the second person resigned several months ago. Apparently the office was extremely slow about hiring an additional person, and the second counselor resigned due to these circumstances.</p>

<p>2) International transfers for Spring 09 have been affected- we are not an isolated case- and given that the orientation signup deadline is Monday, I have no idea what this means.</p>

<p>3) Although the online application message shifted from "in review" to "you have no current applications pending" the man who helped us said the application had yet to be reviewed.</p>

<p>I know we are more than a little frustrated that this has come to pass and its taken more than three months with no action on the application and is jeopardizing his chances (should he be admitted) in getting the courses he wants/needs or even starting the semester on time.</p>

<p>Hope this is helpful to others!</p>
