lol at posting the exact same thing on 5 different colleges' boards. Wisconsin doesn't give many merit scholarships. You may have difficulty even getting admitted.

Also need unweighted gpa on a 4.0 scale- you dod the work to convert so we can understand it. Major makes no difference in admissions- it's to the U as a whole. Not much merit aid to freshmen.
