@dimeking you might want to follow this thread.

Record applications again? Not surprising but definitely adds to the stress for the current cycle. WSB has become such a tough direct-admit get over the last few years. It’s a bit of a double-edged sword—the prestige and ‘numbers’ are going up, which is great for the degree’s value, but it makes it so much harder for high-stats kids who have Wisconsin as their top choice. Did the email mention anything about the internal transfer capacity? With record apps, I have to imagine that path is becoming even more of a bottleneck
Good question. It was around 50-50 direct admit vs internal transfer few years ago. Yes that’s still the official answer from the SOB website ”No. Nearly half of all Wisconsin business students are admitted through the pre-business process and all students have a similar undergraduate experience. Our average time to graduation is less than four years, and that includes both direct admit and pre-business students.” Undergraduate Admissions FAQs | Wisconsin School of Business
