If the directions call for recommendations, then that means you have to send them! If you can't follow directions, then that is grounds for immediate denial.... and I am a college counselor and former admissions rep.

I don't know where you worked or what you meant by your comment, but I sat at a two day round table last year with quite a few admission reps as part of discussion concerning how to simplify the paper flow to colleges. The flow of documents comes to the schools over a very long period of time and often recommendations are the last pieces of paper that complete an application. I never once heard anything from anyone about denial for any missing piece of information without there being some kind of either paper or online notification that the application is not completed in full.

I'm not applying this year (got in last year, actually), but I'd just like to say:
I know a ton of OOS kids (especially from the east and west coast) here right now who got in with very non-impressive stats. There's people from Delaware, Texas, California...with 3.1 GPAs, 1-2 AP classes, 1800 SATs, one teacher rec but probably very good essays/statements explaining their situations and all...thats what I've found out so far after talking to many people from outside of Wisconsin.

Yea, but selectivity appears to have shot up a ton this year.

Uh, I looked up "big red" and found Cornell and Nebraska- I think you may want to say "Go Badgers". btw- trivia- even though we all consider the school colors red and white the red may actually be cardinal.

Really? I know it is Big Red for Cornell and Nebraska but i swear that when I visited UW I saw a number of 'Big Red' t-shirts walkin around and for sale in the Bookstore. Oh well, though, I guess I was wrong... I'm just glad I got in!

| Acceptance posted on a Sunday!
My DS just got accepted. We have been checking everyday and it just posted today! A Sunday, can you believe it?
Stats: GPA unweighted: I think around a 3.7; 4.3 something weighted
29 ACT
Lots of EC's and leadership roles
Varsity Football Team and Basketball Team
2 Letters of Rec (which I assume were helpful)
Very rigorous courses, lots of APs, community college clsses, etc., but had quite a
few Bs
We are so happy! Good luck to everyone still waiting. We love the school. I just hope we can afford the OOS tuition.
