uhhh about a week ago i believe
11 days ago to be exact
@mortal bane
ok thanks for the information
np
did you get the semi-finalist email?
this is all i got
ok thanks
thxs
UW Madison my favorite LAC
help 💀
I actually didn't know this till now. Thanks!👍
lowk never releasing lol
ong
😭
hopefully they didnt forget :p
i got one from ea. All it contained was one piece of paper
same
lowkey sad T^T
but eh
ong
isnt it coming out tmrw?
I believe Thursday or Friday
yeah
oh!
js lemme in 😂✌️
whats your major
chem e
ah, you got into purdue so you already have a great choice
ye
but kinda wanna see what other options i got
even if i dont end up going its still kinda a self-esteem boost
nope
oos for everything
are you going to chose madison over purdue if you get in?
id consider both
but honestly purdue is abit cheaper
fair, take your time just dont commit early
yea, purdue is $15k cheaper
ye both have good engineering programs
so might have to end up heavily considering cost
if you are looking for something very social, only then i would consider madison
u might see me ask in school x-vs-y lol 😭
hmm
im mainly considering cost and opportunities
maybe a lil on starting salary too
but thats if they even want me to begin with
not exactly sure how better madison would be over purdue for opportunities, but purdue has better rep so maybe it could give a very slight edge. at the EOD it all depends on your skills
ye ig
then i would prefer purdue over madison
and not sure if you want to consider ucsd cuz its way more expensive, but could have slightly more opportunities cuz cali and better weather. but i wouldnt say that the edge would be worth extra $30k
idk if any of the good uc gonna accept me
so far have a 3 rejection streak for ucs
its a stark contrast to my non-uc colleges
which ones did you get into
uc merced, u minnesota twin cities, purdue
waitlisted UF and uiuc
rejected cornell ed, uc davis, uc irving, uc sb
same major for all?
Yo you commited??
Yea
did any1 else got accepted in l&s honors ??
If I get off UIUC waitlist, then I might go to UIUC. But till then it's madison
what abt you
did u apply for i20 yet ??
not yet, in a week. working on the financial docs
ic ic
Not yet, waiting for a few more rd decisions
there is also a situation now
related to f1 visa apparently
you are getting chances only once a year for interview
coz of the less number of slots
Youtube university 🤓🥸👆🏻👆🏻
they'll lose a lot of money if they do that
have they released on Thursdays in the past?
yea but last year they dropped today
For future reference.
oh good to know
EA was on a thursday
so probably tmrw?
do they not tell us a few days before when they’ll release?
welp
they commented on one of their insta posts “on or before march 31st”
that’s so unhelpful
probably comes out today
today is the day ladies
fr?
ye, should be
are yall able to access housing
i still cant access
but my friend who got in EA can access it
Today?
if it drops today what time would it be around?
Yes
@misty parcel @rich valley can yall tell me about the engineering programs there
anything u know about it
computer enigneering or jus engineering in general
yeah
Ya I’m compe/cs/math
Lmk what questions u have
how is the grade inflation/deflation, how ppl on avg get internships there, im talking bout intl students btw, how many ppl get in summer research programs, how the program actually is, if its worth going to or not
and if anything else u want to share, thatd be great!
Ok I’m not intl, grades are slightly deflated but not too bad, the weed out classes are terrible. There’s two engineering specific internship/career fairs that happen every year so those are super cool. I didn’t do summer research I’ve lowk never heard of that
you are in triple major?
are those fairs helpful?
+1
Chem and physics in my experience
Yur
Yes there’s so many recruiters who go
woah, how many classes/credit overlap?
Lots, and I came in w/ 60+ credits
It’s a prerequisite for most engineering majors idk why
were there any positive outcomes from the fairs like any offers
effectively do you get 2 extra degress for just 50% more credits?
and wdym by "i came in w/ 60+ credits?"
did you transfer
yeah, were their?????????????
Idk I’m still a freshman
I had an interesting experience but that was on me
Aps/DE
Very strong here
But I’m not an engineering major
I do know it is rigorous for sure
@rich valley how difficult is it to get >3.9 GPA in compe?
yeah how difficult is it to get above a 3.7
On, Wisconsin!
?? Did they released
Dude you just gave me an mini heart attack in my kidney
Let's hope for the best.
I'll be looking forward to it!
has to be today no?
dont they release the same day as they released EA?
Not necessarily, previous years' history is inconsistent.
re: the EA thing.
well, last to last year it dropped on a thursday
the year b4 that year too i believe
so it drops 4pm CST possibly?
Usually, yes.
when does it drop
nope. do you mean the second choice thing tho?
uw madison today?
is that 5pm est
i dont know where that is
Under applicant profile
mm, seems like the change happened for all applicants yesterday, wasn't there before
is it like 100% confirmed today?
nope
whats the %
so everyone has the table now?
50 50 today or tomorrow
yup
oh hell no
right before spring break
im fried if i get rejected ngl
atp let's just hope lol
@bronze bramble i have two things i want to test do you mind if i send you links in dms
sure
theres a good chance its today tho
weirdest timing
So hard
i am
Harder than getting a 3.89
don’t even ask abt a 3.91
weird do u wanna test something with me
check dms
wait is it coming in 2 and a half hours or 28 mins?
its our guess only since they dont tell us when they gonna release it
Proof
denied
uhh im not able to send ss
can i dm it to u?
FUCK DUDE
i rly liked uw mad too
admitted
its not letting me send ss
yeah
got in yay
UW Madison out, vote on the poll @everyone
deadass its out?
ye
accepted
Congrats to those that got in
bruh how did i get in i got deferred ea and didn’t submit ANY updates (not even grades 💀)
yea same thing LOL
Rejected wow its been bad
i got rejected
Bro I got pre-business smh
i thought id get in for sure
waitlisted 💀
Go Buckeyes
Wow bro crazy
Wisconsin lost to high point lol
waitlisted
waitlisted
I’m already committed to OSU but I was gonna take a look at UW Madison if I got direct admit for business
Damn this one hurt
im so confused ive gotten into harder colleges but i wanted to go here
idk why they rejected me honestly
Same for me I literally got in here OOS but rejected to UMD in state
if ut austin accepted
Its because uw madison is more competitive now, nothing can be done
i hardly applied anywhere else
rejection is redirection ig
i feel so lost
im very confused why i got rejected by uc davis uc irving and ucsb when my non-uc decisions are not doing that bad 😭
waitlist feels bad
i got rejected after being deferred
Guys if you are upset at UW Madison right now just remember they lost in basketball to a scam for profit High Point lmao
they have a high waitlist acceptance rate i think
💔
They do but they announce it way too late so probably not worth it
i shouldve sent my sat
i had a 1470 but i didnt wanna pay to send it and i thought it wouldnt matter
genuinely considering a gap year atp
as do all wl 😭 if it isnt ur dream school prob not worth the wait if u have similar/better options
exactly
reload it
i just got waitlisted but it's not worth waiting over going to my state flagship uiuc
ts sucks tho
:(
dont be i got wl from uiuc
Explain to me how I got into UW Madison out of state but not UMD in state
kinda prob cuz im oos :p
It’s ok you have next year
so its abit harder
aah lets see
oo yeah prob ik many ppl who were rejected from my school and we're basically a feeder
uiuc was tough this yr but so was UW obviously
yea
Guys quick question I don’t want to make a whole post for this but OSU honors direct admit business or Wisconsin Pre Business
UW has like a 30% wl acceptance i think
honestly it aint easy even if ur in state
better than my uiuc and uf wl acceptance rate
i agree it's not
ok arnd same for uf but
that's true 30% ain't bad
which is more expensive or is that not considered
u got uiuc its good 😭
u dont gotta worry abt waitlist
waitlisted uiuc uw madison uc davis 💀 bound to get into one of them trust
yeahh i lowkey wanted to go OOS though UW was my top behind umich
but uiuc here i come
u got that
uc davis wl acceptance rate is good
with a 3.3 gpa i guess thats not bad
oh 100%
ye
that's good
yeah that's good u didn't get rejected from any of those schools
they're all difficult
ur portfolio is stronger than u think it is 😭
maybe but my gpa is dragging me down so bad
nah me too
and i go to a feeder school
Accepted for L&S despite applying for CS
is that what it says for evb
im admitted to the college of L&S
I got L&S because I wasn’t directly admitted into business
for CS ur admitted to L&S and have to complete some prereq courses
cs is in l&s
so is ds
a separate school is being planned possibly in the future
damn waitlisted
i really hope the waitlist acceptance rate isnt cooked like it was that one year
well all my friends got waitlisted too so i think it may be
welp time to wait for umich ig
real
congrats to everyone that got in!
yes congrats 🎉
wait if ygs have any questions about the CS program I can try and help ygs
i got into northeastern nyc scholars but i do not wanna pay 100k a year
i am like pretty sure the only reason they have that program is to get more money
Damn wtf
and they dont allow financial aid
same with ucs
holy scam LOL
but the ucs allowed finaical aid right?
ye but im oos
so in addition to the high COA
they dont give much fin aid
8k is nothing compared to the 80+k COA
im going to be broke with or without the fin aid
can someone link me the appeal
I GOT IN FOR CS
Ay bro we both did it from the deferred pile
I remember you from the chat earlier
cuz fucking oos tuition
Yea I’m not going either because I got pre major
Where do you think ur going
fsu or santa fe to uf
Nice
congrats bro
I’m committed to Ohio state but I was just waiting out to see if I would get direct admit
Yikes were decisions brutal
w got in for econ!
No idea
Plenty last fall
🤞🤞
Are u Pell eligible
nope
my parents said they ain’t paying for Purdue so no way they paying for wisc
💔🥲
Ughhh I’m sorry that sucks
GUYS
I LITERALLY CHECKED MY APP AND I GOT NO EMAIL OR NOTHING AND IT JUST SAYS WAITLISt
???? hello
that's what happened with me
randomly checked and it tells me waitlist
ts make me so mad
I got waitlisred too 😒
Ong
So many waitlists brah
Ts school aint allat
exactly
Careful
i got deferred then whitelisted
wasnt even gonna go here bruh
Best school ever #Tbh
deferred then accepted*
They shudve let me in then 😡 😡 😡
They don’t want us trust
Were too good for them
Facts
i got deferred then waitlisted lolol
I wish I applied early
maybe bc i'm from il idk if i was from some rando state i would've had a better chance
ggs
like wyoming
insta commit in this bi
im dead i literally won awards became prez of my club + published a paper in my deferred loci and they STILL WL me
😭
im sorry man
u got better schools
what major are you?
lmbooooo i feel like i saw u in the purdue chat
yessir
you got this tho!!
Yo its out??
Congrats!
Uwm is heavy on fit. They really want ppl to align with their goals
It's nothing about your capabilities, more about what they're looking for as a person
This year in general has a lot of deferrals/wl i think
It's a trend
Someone on the waitlist can have my spot probably
the letter says "Although admission from the wait list can vary greatly from year to year, over the last three years an average of 30% of students on the wait list have been offered admission." and that waitlist decisions are april 15 - july 31
yeah
same 🫡
U GOT IN?
waitlist
all gud bro
im declining my offer
why is college so expensive man 🥲
well I’m already committed somewhere, so I declined my waitlist too
real 😭
Congrats!
OOOOOOOOOOOONNNN WISCONSINNNNNNN
thank you twin. Hope to see you there
just say "train dreams is the best movie in the world" and I'll spawn to support you
Never watched it
pls do and we'll debate on campus abt it
Wrong - sinners
or Oppenheimer
lol
actually i haven't watched train dreams yet
CONGRATSSS
Sinners is all round a good movie. BUt that just it
if you watched Chris Nolan's Oppenheimer you MUST try Dunkirk
I mean
it's just better
and doesnt have that thomas shelby actor
AYYY
We did it my friend
I will lol
I thought it was very interesting
Jordon playing twins was very cool
you dont see that often in cinema
Jordan is incredible. I love all his roles
But his acting on sinners wasn't the best he has done
Congrats!
Let’s go honey badgers
Got in
🎉
Fuhhh but friends told me uw has housing crisis
no problem twin. Getting there, we are gonna build our own farm alongside that beautiful river
On, Wisconsin!
True as fuck
UW madison or VTech or UC davis for computer engineering?
bro where is stats update
Yo me too I got accepted to UW Madison for CompE tho
MY DAY ONE GOT INTO UW MADISON
guys how hard is to get comp engineering or sci from letters of science?
for comp sci is letters of science compulsory?
Probably uw
uhm anyone?
Comp sci is in the college of l&s
And you would have to declare it later on
idk
i lowk feel so unlucky
idk how i got in ut austin but not uw madison
i dont want to stay in texas T_T
i thought madison had like double the acceptance rate
in state and oos acceptance rates are vastly different beside some ucs
for most decently competitive/competitive colleges
i still might try to appeal honestly
AYY
we both wisc ‘30
except
I can’t go
cuz
cost
shhhhhhhh
maddieson
overall cost is 63k
idk abt tuition in particular tho
did u get aid??
didnt get my aid package yet
but
publics tend to not give that much aid
true
im waiting for my aid package as well
yur
ayy
i got a check your washu decion email at 11 pm….
is there a discord
what?
do you mean uw madison
why do i feel so exhausted shortlisting my dorm prefs
@modest mica no calendar update? UW Madison RD came out yesterday (unless its on the calendar and im just blind)
for financial reasons i decided not to send my 1470 SAT and 4 AP scores which were all 4s and 5s, do you think i have a chance of appeal if my reasons are compelling enough?
like appealing your decision?
you can always try
yes
sucess rate is always low
i know that :/
there’s a form to appeal up to 30 days after
no i was rejected
thats why im appealing
I mean its worth a shot?
you don't know unless you try
but keep your options open; knowing that sucess rate is low and dont count on it
alr, i already wrote my first draft for my appeal letter hopefully i have a shot 🤞
wishing you the best of luck :D
thank you :))
good luck on michi btw !! i also applied there
I got in :D
haha
I got in RD (SMTD)
Wishing YOU luck on mich! GO BLUE
oh awesome!! congrats :D
yeah! thanks
yeah oml im dead 😭
I MEANT UW MAD
all the colleges are blurring together
like thanks telling me after i found out
Is it not? It should be
only EA is there
am I tripping?
wait no I am
im tripping
yeah nvm is there
mbmb
This is 2026
We go by college classes
So you are looking at the 2021-2022 application cycle on that page
You need to use https://www.applyingto.college/decision-calendar/class-of-2030 for this year
does anyone have the wisconsin class of 2030 discord
yeah I need it as well
there is a discord?
i thought there is
I don't think there's one
There is bur u need to connect ur school email to discord i think
theres no dedicated 2030 server, and most of the servers are just dead with random discord invite links
Nvm then
Kinda crazy 50k students and none created a co 2030 dc
Did you get aid at cwru
I got like 32k scholarship
Its still expensive tho so im not sure if ill go
Ah, whats the coa after the aid?
Whats your major again? I just keep forgetting
I’m between this and UCSD. But that’s pending ivy day plus duke and umich.
EE
Like 60k but itll end up being less in reality
when will UWM give me my fin aid :p
Same
I gotm mine a few weeks after
you got into northwestern?
Decisions come out in 2 days
has anyone gotten their finaid package/scholarships yet
Took a few weeks for me
I was accepted EA
i see
alrifht thanks
i hppe i get a full ride im broke as hell
banner sace me
save
Yeah i got mine 20 days after my decision
U oos?
Did u apply EA or?
i hope its enough
rd💔
Maybe federal aid will come in clutch
its only like 17k at most i think
the pell grant
im not sure thoufh
so does that mean im getting it in mid april 😭
Probably
the bucky promise will prob save you
also do you guys know for financial aid do u need fafsa and cca or whatever its called
i saw in a letter i got from them
What were your act scores to get into Madison?
Any hope to get a good deal on scholarships from OOS (illinois)? Sucks how tuition and CoA is so high in UW Madison being literally an hour away from the state
same 😭 but im sadly not an hr away from the state
umm I got 1580
Damn
What's your major?
ummm didn't go
How do I calculate my coa tution and housing
Might be committing to UW Madison soon
29
Lowkey was not locked at all
tf
They send financial aid package
I didn’t apply for financial aid ? Do we need to apply for it?
Also do they give merit scholarships ?
Yes, just try and submit fafsa and css
What’s this?
Wait I might commit to UW Madison but I’ve to clue abt the scholarships or anything for it
you are an intl, you'll barely get any aid/scholarships
oh ye thats true sadly
but they can still try
i think
anyone know how many people uw madison took off the waitlist last year.
Quite a bit, check the cds
Last year they offered around 12.5k spots, 7.6k of which accepted the spot, 493 of which got admitted
class of 28 they admitted 61% off the waitlist it might not be over
madison plz gimme a good aid package ahhhhh
hi lol
UW Madison server there ?
@mental sinew did you commit to madison?
Gonna negotiate finaid first then I will
Wait bro we should totally exchange like instas or sum
Dm me
Ur Indian ?
No
Im moroccan
Are public colleges flexible?
Which major ?
No clue but might aswell try
EE
Solid
I doubt im gonnna get much though
Sorry, i don't really share my personal accs on discord
Where u from?
India
Oh same
Oh ofc no worries
Where from India?
Not sharing that
Okay
There’s a WhatsApp grp of Indian internationals going to UW Madison btw
But it’s fine I understand
whats the cost of attendance for internationals?
44k iirc
More like 70k
25-26 was like $63k, so maybe its gonna be around $65k this year
sure dm me
what
oh wait i only counted tuition fee
okok stupid me
When does Madison usually give aid for rd 😭
Need it to decide where to commit
hmm
was just wondering because the i20 estimated cost for engineering says 78k
Maybe thats an inflated price to provide like a buffer or smthing
Mine b4 schollies is 70k COA, 65k direct costs
sure
also ee is NOT the same as math
it's at most applied math
RD results?
31
56
1
Accepted
When I apply to Uw Madison, should I submit this act, or retake?
30
Composite
33
Math
34
Science
25
English
32
Reading
10
Writing
I had a 1420 if that helps at all
I forgot to submit it though
I do think uw really focuses on fit
Frrr
I went test optional and still got in
Add it ur chilling
Unless it’s somehow the worst aspect of your application
But generally it’s worth adding a test score just to prove your educational prowess
bruh you are still a freshman, you got enough time to apply
and its easy to get 33 in english if you just practice for a few weeks, most questions are quite direct
Sorry I’m not a freshman, I just never changed it, Junior
You can try and improve the English component, I think it’s grindable for you
In my superscore my English is a 27, and reading is a 33
real
i believe uw madison is one of the few colleges that don't take testing that seriously
and grades
cuz i had a 1490 SAT and got rejected from almost every other college
Do you have any examples of why Madison essays that got you admitted?
Same but which colleges did you apply 
What's the fit thing that everyone keeps talking abt?
stanford, princeton, upenn, bowdoin, umich, gatech, cmu, duke, and some more
UW Madison didnt give me any extra
Has anyone here received the Bucky promise
I have my fafsa under my parent that should qualify for it but the css profile says Madison requires both parents to fill that out and with both parents income I’m probably not eillgablr
Are you a resident?
Yes why
Did you get your finaid package yet
Bro if I didn’t get Bucky promise that comes with aid why would you think I have aid
If you havent gotten your aid package yet, just wait till you get it
Obviously bro I’m asking if anybody else has received it
Idk why you're acting like this when i jusg wanted to help you
youre telling me to wait for my aid which doesn't answer my question at all
You asked if anyone recieved the aid so I assumed you were worried you didnt recieve it yet, hence why I told you. You could be less of an asshole yk
Well I guess we ain’t lucky enough
You got the aid package?
I need it to decide and it’s getting uncomfortably close to the may deadline
I’m getting edged
I got in EA and got mine like 1 month after my decision
I asked if anybody recieved the buckys promise not aid
i figured out the answer to my question anyways so im chilling now
Bruh I hope they don’t release like in late april
you should probably call them atp
my friend did it and they figured out together that there was some random missing thing that they sorted out for her - she got her package pretty soon
Sadly I can’t call cuz I’m overseas rn
I will send an email tho next week
It’s been 3 weeks 
oh no 😭😭 best of luck!!
Thx
Sent it yesterday but the automated emails says they will only respond in like 5 working days…kinda cooked
FIVE WORKING DAYS 😭
they're off spring break wtf is happening
They said longer than 5 working days mb and they were closed yesterday
So ye extra cooked
Nvm the fin aid is up on the site(without sending me an email tho)
Got like abit over 8k in aid
Sadly might have to pick Purdue over Wisconsin cuz it’s cheaper and cuz I’m doing engineering 
someone know what to do after getting some random email telling me to join a residence group or some shi similar
the living learning community thingys? if you wanna join one, my friend said it’s on the housing page, but it’s a separate form from the housing form
idk it's more like a "residence group" idk what they meaning
not any learning community
oh?? yeah i’ve got no clue actually 😭
Purdue calls it learning community
yo guys
shoudl I pick UW madison computer engieering over uc davis computer science engineering
even i had to decide b/w that and i picked uw madison computer engineering
Got out of waitlist
its starting to move?
same
yep 🙂
Got out of waitlist
Rizzed up the representative who came to our school
guys any wisconsin server?
You can link your wisc edu email to discord and find one but its hella dead
its better not linking your email, theres not much happening
atleast save your privacy
oh
yeah makes sense
Any advice to find a roommate for housing?
wait is it not too late??
sure i don't mind!!
BOOOOOOOOOO UW MADISON BOOO 👎👎👎
Did Madison reject you or smt 😭
no
i didnt apply
but everyone thinks im going to madison when i say uw 😡
so i am going to campaign to every mod to delete the madison channel
also im mad bc their mascot is so cute and i want it
i am ok with purdue bc they sent me very pretty mail
:p
I’m partially mad at Wisconsin for not giving me an excuse to go there cuz their tuition is 16k per year more expensive than Purdue
Ye but I guess I ain’t broke enough
There is Perdue chicken
But I’m doing engineering :c
it looks so dry....
dang it
Then drink water :v
another one lost to purdue eng
I mean if mit wants me then sure I’ll transfer
And we have football team that is better at being bad
udub rowing 👀
Which is fine cuz I like watching basketball more
As long as the basketball team is decent each year I can put up with being in middle of nowhere
Because its the superior school
twin why would you do this to me
gotta say uwash twin
uwash ≠ washu & uwash ≠ uw
ironic bc purdue has ass food 💀
:/ well we certainly don’t have Michelin food but it ain’t that bad
I wish it was for engineering then I would get to enjoy some god views
no i know people who go to purdue (rising seniors/juniors/sophomores) who went to my school who hv horror stories about dining hall food
they make eggs out of a big plastic bag of scrambled eggs
and the color of the eggs is like greenish like what the fuck 😭
one of them worked in the dining hall
My hs food catering made the national news(not in the us tho)
It’s abt the shit quality and high price
So I think I will survive
My standards are pretty low
LMAO
Screw Madison for introducing the css profile this year
I could’ve gotten free college but it’s not even close
Same, would have gone but they only gave me the Pell grant
Like idk how they calc how much I was able to pay but they def assumed that my parents would sell off the house just for college cuz that’s like a few times more than my parents income
wait twin....im sorry i mean everyone except for you!!!!
you're the only badger that i won't mistake for a skunk
🦡🦨
how dare you nobody calls uw uwash 😡😡😡
APPRECIATE YOU TWIN
also uw-seattle starts in the end of september !? 💔 lucky
appreciate you 😝
Anyone know if they released any waitlist offers recently?
they did 17 min ago
I JUST CHECKED MY EMAIL I GOT IN
hell yeah congrats!!
september 30 🤫🤫🤫
common madison L
jkjk
rare madison L
If anyone gets off for engineering thank me (jk)
BRUH I THOUGHT MY FRIEND WHO'S GOING TO UW WAS LYING
🤬 no
HELL YEAH GO BADGERS
gs
Congrats new badgers!
ive never seen anyone in this server who goes to uw-m
but you have for udub
ooohhhhh snap
oh nvm theres a uw milwaukee. that's what you meant
man....
First time I heard of this 😭
There was 1 i think
Theres alot of uw schools
girl no uw madison
😭
Hellur
