Should be in Student Center I think
Thank you!
Are you on campus?
If so
Can you bike to the Admissions Office
Yes
Bro are we applying to the same colleges 😭
And tell them to accept me
Oh have fun
A few of them
Uw neu and nu
Right?
Those 3 yes
Yeah we have those in common
I love the uw madisin campus
I know it like the back of my hand
good luck to all uw applicants!
Thank youu
I lwk cooked on my essay
I talked about my yearly walk down state street
is it today?
Maybe
:(
Last year it was so it’d make sense if it was today
🤷♀️
i know a professor from uw madison
that is my only knowledge of this school
My family mainly lives near madison
o cool
So every year when I go to visit them we go downtown
howis it in wisco
Which is where the campus is
tje great cheese state
WE WIL GET IN GANG
Honestly I like it alot
is there stuff to do in madison
IM PREDICTING
ik its a good college town but ive never beeen and dk whats there
Yeah
Especially the uw campus
Its huge
i see
Literally integrated in the city
no, but i believe they're releasing in batches this year so it probably just depends on the program you applied for
Very very active
either today or friday
whats there to do off campus
Theres water activities, fishing, scuba diving
And then during the winter theres all of the winter activities
allegedly
bro wut does "allegedly" mean
Possibly
And in madison there are escape rooms, fishing, hiking
And u can go to Chicago which isnt that far
ah i see, ty
thats nice
does UWisconsin care mostly about like GPA/Stats? I'm just curious.
If they do I’m seriously cooked
they dont superscore sat so im guessing they do
most schools do
but good test scores and ECs can also help if your gpa isn't the best
my ECs are cooked lol. hopefully they js care about coursework
bro I'm checking in an hour ts taking too long
this might be the ugliest portal i've seen
the worst portal to navigate wtf
ong
im staying up till 1 am for ts it better not
wait what made u guys say it was today
ONG
like, was it a friday last yr or wed?
last year was a wednesday
its supposed to come out by 5pm right
ah, i see
or when
i saw a comment from someone who said they called the admissions office and they told them to start checking their email today through friday
so does that mean some ppl are getting it back today im so confused
Doesnt mean anything
it just means you'll get it on or before friday (30th)
which is already known info
fantastic...
Why is the chat so active?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH
Are the decisions coming out in a few mins?
unclear
when is it supposed to come out
decisions are allegedly soon
Should I sleep or wait for a few mins?
lmfao 'allegedly' makes it seem like a crime
ohio state used the same portal format and i was able to check my admission status under the admissions tab, but im not sure if it'll be the exact same
UWisc will allegedly be releasing certain decisions from it's custody...
fair play
ohio state had like no offical pdf letter thing right
HAHAH
What time are we talking abt?
Lmaooo
bc I got into OSU but no PDF
yeah it was so anti climatic
If it’s not in 9 mins we wait till tommorow
"admitted" okay thanks!
I'll wait and if they don't release by that time ima sleep
yet
literally
Atleast its not worse than Umich
uiuc so goated for telling us time and date
nothing can be worse than umich
Because they’re EVIL
Did that rice guy get banned
TRUE
mmm okay
does music admissions overrule general
Damn
I have mid GPA but pretty much Umich music said I have rly good chances after auditions
probably not
guys my gov work is on Wisconsin v Yonder is this foreshadowing /s
Didn't Wisconsin lose
its a prophesy
Possibly in 1 minute
yeah 6-1 💀
That means we're gonna win
fr
possibly
I see nothing in the notification section 💔
nothing
WE ARE GETTING IN WE ARE GETTING IN GANG
Ok so Friday it was
🥀
ancient ahh portal
2000's ahh portal
Anything?
no results for anyone?
Would it not possibly be in an hour?
Is it not typically 7 PM central?
i hope it’s on friday so i can just zoom through all of my schools 😥
naurrrr
if I get all my rejections in one day lmao
bruh
mo way you get rejected
YEAHHH
maybe we just need to wait until 8pm EST
RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AFFIRM AFFIRM
!!!
why 8
I don’t think it should come any later than 7 pm central
PROPHESING IT
nothing out
WE GOT THIS
yup
According to the A2C website it came out about 6 last year
Maybe an hour longer
if i have to open uiuc and uw madison in the same night its over
Yeah thats what I thought
fried
Nah trust they might be tryna fix the ancient portal before releasing
add gatech in this it will be a nightmare
6 CST or EST?
CT probably
It just says 6 but I assume EST
portal finna crash if y'all load it at once
that's madison's timezone
wait i think they're releasing it in batches because it crashed last year
I heard that too somewhere
around neu time
are they?
i dont know if i got that from a reliable source but
literally ivy day but for public schools lol
Exactly
😭
has anyone gotten anything?
oh so its friday?
okay
we pray
Man gl everyone
you too
Bro where are these decisions
Friday
Damnnn
Deadass??
Confirmed?
Unless by some miracle they come out in 7 minutes
My assumption
Oh
I mean it’s a very real outcome
U sure man? 8 is pretty late for an admissions office
whats up guys
There’s plenty who come out at 8
:P
they usually js do it after the AO office closes so they don't get a bunch of calls that's all
Wisconsin is central time keep in mind
It’s 7 for the office
Is it coming in 20 mins?
hopefully
It’s possible I just don’t see it as probable
why
Idk ig we’ll see if we’re right or wrong
Hopefully
pretty much every year except for last it's been at 8pm est/7pm cst
is it 8 pm sharp
so i would not be surprised if they came out today
i think its been rolling past that time?
Praying Madison comes tonight
Same
I’ll put 3 nickels that it won’t come out
prob friday?
I hate these schools and their elusive decision dates
literally
It’s not out 😭
we got fooled
theres no way
yuppp
Time to wait until Friday
yep friday
bruh
dude i am actually going to cry
3 decisions that day I think
i mean could be tmr
i NEED ts
friday is a lot of decisions
no way they do tmr
Thank god it’s not out I didn’t get the terra dotta thing
uva unc wisco
I js thought it'd be today bc they started loading terra dotta into
Do you get it or nah
THATS MY EXACT LIST WTF
No
nahhh
UNC wisco UMD gtech UIUC hell no
Holy
also umd
UW Madison actually ragebaiting
Tomorrow I get Brandeis

Ya LOL
Lying ahh
Yeah
There was one outside my dorm
i cant get over the lego day post lmao

maybe theyll release it then
Hell no

So fuckinf. Cold in this old ass dorm
how holsitic is wisco in admissions

Friday it is
callin cap too
im holding out hope
we're all hopeful ahah
pleaseeeee
i need to end this fuckass early round on a win
ong
2 acceptances 3 deferrals :P
s.igbol speaking facts
Frrrr
Lowk think they are coming tomorrow
they wont release on 1/31
Don't give hopium 🥀🥀
it will be 1/30 or 1/29
Imagine they release it along with UIUC
i doubt they will release on weekend
That shit will be so crazy
i lowkey think it's going to be on the 31st or before im ngl.
last year was wednesday but the years before that were all fridays
so hopefully the friday the 30th?
idk they also said theyre releasing in batches lol so it might be diff
when and where ??
some college counselor called their office and that's what they said
don't quote me on that though
ohh okkk
Ong
any chances for it coming out today?
Hopefully lol
its either today or tomorrow or the last hope 31
its not gonna be 31 i believe
either today or tomorrow
eah i dont they would release on a saturday
Exactly, it will be on business days of this week ie today and tomorrow which are the last 2
sometime in this year

Why aren't they releasing the files ?;?!!
Ngl I won't even care if ts comes out tmr
I just wanted it before
every other decision
Doubt it
There are i think
It’s friday so they might want to make poor kids happy on weekend
🥀
i am extremely skeptical here, but update from my friend who is in UW's PEOPLE program (run by the university): there was a mass text sent out to all seniors in the program from the advisor (uw employee) "I was told that today the early admissions decisions should be released later today!"
well i hope they're right 😭
i do too... the only way its not is that the advisor just heard a sketchy rumor
hmm yeah
but if it was not sure why hed send it out... we hope!
istg if they do td then like why release it on a thursday
what was the point of waiting a day
great question
I need them today
cus they've had the decisions ready
bc i dont think theyve ever done that
yeah
I can’t have 4 rejections tmrw
always friday and wednesday
right
why wait
umich is js awful lol
erm so when is think gon happen
well supposedly either td 6-8 pm or tmr but i'd just expect tmr so u don't get ur hopes up
then it'd be a nice surprise if we do get it tn
yeah
hmmmm did it drop
ACCEPTED
Congrats
wow the advisor was right
I GOT IN
this portal so ass
had to freaking inspect element to get the full decision letter opened lmaooo
GOT IN YUHHH
I got in!
congrats!
congrats!
that would be good
What mod does that again?
I got in

i dont think i got any merit tho
@modest mica hi there, I'm really sorry for the ping, but decisions have been released. Could there please be a poll, if you get the chance

holy yield protection by uwm
Congrats guys
ur deferred right
yuh
lmao im not that stacked yo
if it makes you feel better I was also accepted uw, deferred cmu -> accepted cmu

do you go cmu
did you do an update
yea but I dunno if it was included
imma still do one even if they don't look at it
defer to uwm lowk shocked me too i expecterd an acceptance
it was just a um schedule update + some other stuff
what villains did i write about
anyways this is a uw madison thread
fair neough
same
I can drop the funni food recs for future students
lol
why is uw mad fucking official scores
i also forgot to submit test scores too
literally 0 reason
yeah im not spending 15 dolla for uwmdadison
uwmad is not moving like that bro
lmfao
i need uw-seattle now
yhea no ofc i applied for a reason
i need both uw's
i didnt evne know i had to submit sat score
but like evne these top colleges man the harvards and yales
fah
dont be requiring official scores
UW madison > UW-seattle
I learned but it was a little too late
CS rankings are a little diff
I'm assuming oos?
me too yo
i realized like 1 month oafter
test optional isnt allowed?
no it is
ohh
but if you want to submit test scores you gotta pay the fee
wait did u guys get deferred
also it's luck lmfao
no i got in
bro I'm actually 100% down to
i got in without test score im hell surprised but ig my school has sent a couple people to maidson
i live mn
go fully test required for UW madison lmao
Hey what do I do with these buttons
i got boosted chance im p sure
when u choose to commit
is that to accelt enrollment?
dont click them
Same without test scores
yet
"when" you musta lost it bro you mean "if" ?
Alright thank you all
it doesnt matter if u click accpet u still gotta pay n stuff so if its an accident dw
Does anyone know the out of state engineering acceptance rate
oh shityou're right
Sick! I’m gonna be on the premed path with the ultimate goal of becoming an infectious disease physician
Anyone know oos acceptance rate for business
i want to know this too
youre lying
maybe less
oos eng has to be higher than 20
gah damn uw mad is comp like that
noo..
purdue is higher than that
maybe i was NOT aware of its game bro
oh damn thanks
yeah fr
uw mad eng is comp
btw from what I've heard
and if u dont direct admit
this is probably gonna be the last year CS is gonna be apart of L&S
did you guys get status update in the email
uwmad is moving different ig
nah i just check portal
but im also mn i dunno how rates are affect by that
im always gon rep uw
bro uw madison's portal
i get reduced tuition at least
is so fucking dogshit
higher probs
:(
i still got purdue over uw madison broi
duo?
but people arent ready for that conversation
LOL
yeah i'd still go purdue probs but like another good option ig
i always say uw purdue and uiuc all very similar
yeah they all are
i get the bypass so
its truly not that different
my dad works at uw... duo is awful
only a demented graduate from CMU could come up with that shit
duo mobile?
yeah so to me its whicever one cheapest u go
is fair
whats so bad abt it bruh am i lost
wait...
Well hopefully getting into wisconsin improves my odds at uiuc (ik thats not how it works)
duos just a pain
you have to like re sign in every 30 minutes
Do lots of deferrals get in RD?
its a pain yeah but mine is verified for a month
what are we on abt
i open the app maybe 12 times a year
dont think it works for that long in all situations
is there no button that you click 'trust this device for 30 days"
I had to open my app like 5 times every day when I was at UW Madison
it doesn't fucking work on UW
this is why even UMN > uwmad bro duo mobile aint doing all this
but people once again arent ready for that conversation
arent they fully test optional?
why would it be required for one round
and not the other
idk someone said that earlier
Yo no shot
i didnt realize they didnt have my scores 😭
Hi guys
1470 for nothing smh
Who’s coming here next yr
yeah unironically bruh
uw website says test optional
36 act for nothing
no exceptions listed
i feel like i coulda gotten a little money
i rlly want to unless an ivy or smth accepts me which is unlikely lol
where can i check for scholarships
dont think anything financial aid wise is out
Best school Eva highly reccomend
it seems rlly cool :3:3
whats that
tbh i have an online friend in wisconsin and thats why i started looking at schools there
Free wud music show
that and i need to leave texas TwT
wait @abstract girder did you go to UW madison?
naww i got work actually
Fuckkk
lowk i be saying uwm is a sleeper school
Theyre so fye
It totally is
Hmm what do people have to say abt like student life and general quality of life at uw madison vs the other midwest big schools (like uiuc and michigan)
used to for DE
ah i see
Actually don come here I had to stand outside van vleck today for like 20 mins because the fire alarm went off
LOL
i second this question, especially michi since ive been comparing the two
its big like them
party culture like them
football culture

R u in lakeshore or southeast
lake
Wait twin
Thats cool
yah?
Well lowkey ima go to uiuc instead if i get in cuz i'd pay like 20k less a year

No I meant like twin as in me too
But if not then uw madison class of 2030!!!
is it out
im saying bro uw, uiuc and purdue are VERY similar in comp all that
Yeah
Yeah fair. enough
Uw Madison was hella cheaper for me
thanks
Even though I’m in state for uiuc
Damn how
Scholarship
my price calc says like 65k 😭
I’m getting paid to be here
Oh did you get it when you got in
Or did you apply for a separate one
I hope the financial aid is as good as the npc was telling me
I applied before
LMAOOOO
keep in mind uw is public
But a lot of it is finaid
BRO VAN VLECK IS SUCH A FUNNY BUILDING
old ash
Fuck that building
Hmm ok
have you seen the lecture hall on like the 3rd floor
Were you oos
Almost as bad as van hise
Wisconsin doesn't yield protect at all tight
I've been lazy with scholarships but i think a few are still open right
Yur
my ass hurt after sitting in that chair for like
B102 best lec hall
a couple lectures
Are they the wooden ones with the slammy desks
yeah
anyone know abt wisco --> biotech since ik wisconsin has a few companies hq there
they prolly do
So damn LOUD
So are we cooked if deferred?
no one is cooked if they get defer
its so random
if oos
I believe in you!
no, my school's data shows that most defers are admitted if you have stats within range
For UW Madison?
yeah
Alright thanks everyone if I don’t get rd it’s Ohio State
Wait what r u majoring in
wbu
cs220 calc 3 japanese and sum online
Wait when do u have calc 3
damn im doing that for most schools
miserable course bro
worse than lin alg x 10
fuckin liars out here telling you its easy
no shit bro
😭
lin alg is lowk easier than calc 2
i think
what is calc 2 bruh
wtv calc bc
we have the fucked up and evil
yo so like I kinda applied to madison without knowing how good it is, so like how does it compare to other top engineering schools, all I know so far is that the campus is tuff
oh
ez skip calc 1 and calc 2
truth nuke
its up there
look online
took ab bc freshman year straight into literal hell torture chamber in sophomore year
me too gang
its like purdue ish uiuc ish level
very good engineering program
wait did you get michigan data sicence?
yea
that was my intended major
wait so ts tuff ash, i lowkey didnt expect getting in
were you in coe?
are you not coe
i thought you was one of us bro
💔
i see you everywhere adn this is how you do me
PAUSE btw
holy shit
lmfao
for michigan i applied data science coe
and got defer
😭
should have lowk done lsa
yea
wouldnt have made a diff tho
cuz then u can do whatever within lsa
you disgust me
wym fam
One message removed from a suspended account.
i js always thought youw as engineering
dont start this shit bro
my hawks aboutta bta them pats
One message removed from a suspended account.
are you a pats fan
One message removed from a suspended account.
we will see in a couple weeks bro
i mean what do you expect the systems are so slow
Oh shit nvm
that portral makes my eyes bleed
with this kinda portal i wouldnt expect an email
its genuinely awful
dont understand how it hasnt been updated
Yeah get used to it
i see
i doubt it though right like
what's stopping htem from just deferring every good stat oos student
idk i'm a little confused what i did wrong cuz i wrote a super specific why madison essay
all good bro im sure you'll ahve a bunc hof other good results
or do have*
a
Should I send LOCI at some point?
how tf i get deferred what
Could anybody here that got in for CS (like cs as intended major) tell me which college is written on their acceptance letter, i go here rn and this is p important
wait is this ilke
not still letters and sciences rn?
or did they change
yeah thats what i wanted to know
hey did anyone get any financial aid info
I think i applied cs and i just got in for the college of letters and sciences
does that mean cs?
I haven’t yet
cs ds stats and info sci are moving to a new college next year
Guys is getting deffered from her like normal???
it looks like they havent taken that into account this admissions cycle
i thought my stats were really good for bme like 1510, 3.98, couple of published papers and lots of bme stuff???
But they have done some sort of yield prot stuff for sure
It wasnt this competitive last year
I also got in college of lettter and science
i literally expected an acceptence and now im tensed 
YAAYAYAAYAYAYYYYYYY CONGRATSSSSSS MADD
THANXXXXXX
congrats to all the accepted people ❤️
im literally sincerely hoping this is the reason
college of letter and science
Is honors out already?
Thankfully i think the defer to accept rate is p good here
theres no honors college??
Alr nvm then
Theres honors in each major but
Afaik you dont apply to those
it better be bc i fee like i like this college a teensy bit less now....
Shit I inverted
When do those come
can i still get aid after submitting css late
No like you dont get admitted into them
You have to take extra classes and theres a gpa req
cs has thesis writing of some sort (if i remember correctly) for senior year
And then you get a badge on your degree
Ohh ok
Are they generous with merit aid btw
No
Oos if ur broke like me youll probably get good aid
But otherwise you're out of luck
how broke are you talking
P broke
Alr ty
will 150k income qualify for any aid
But theyre generous
:(((
Look out for the finaid email though
too expensive for me
ok
Theres basiclaly a program you need to get into called banner for oos if you get into that you're set youll only pay what you can afford
But other than that its basically 0
Did you get in ea too
The good thjng is that theyve been upping the amount of kids that get banner each year
Submit your fafsa
asap
and css
oh no i was rd
This was one of my last picks if im being honest
so u got in last year?
yes
bro is this morgridge hall..
i wrote abt htis in my essay i thought this was already a thing 😭
All tge majors that have classes in morgridge essentially
Morgridge is just a building
Really really nice building
Most of the cs classes happen there
They opened it last fall
how the fuc
The old cs building is a dump
i got deferred too and i feel the same way as you lmao, just nervewracking bc of the decisions tmr
lwok yield protection
OH MY GOD I GOT IN
OMG congrats
