Will failing a mid year class (AP Calc BC) ruin my chances of getting in? I wrote a strong LOCI and included why I did poorly in it so I hope I still have a chance, rest of grades were As for all APs/DEs
None of us has enough info on your application/loci/background, AND UW’s decision-making process, to answer your specific question.
Many schools state that a D/F in a senior class can be grounds for rescinding an acceptance offer, but also leave the door open depending upon the explanation provided.
I’m hoping that they accept your explanation for this rigorous course and that you receive a favorable decision.

That makes sense thank you, It just sucks that my chances of going to my dream school might be crushed from failing one class, Ive had all As/-As before this, but hoping for the best!
Yep, rules and competition are very tuff at this level.
You will be on my mind all week.
What major did you apply for; in-state or OOS; TO or SAT/ACT, score?
Undecided, OOS, TO, in my supplemental I talked about how Ive visited Madison for 18 years since I have family that lives there and how its my top choice + in my LOCI I said I would attend if admitted, hoping those help
The best part of what you just posted is that you didn’t say your major is Engineering or Business.
I’m pulling for any student who is not in those majors and has passed the pre-reqs for AP Calc BC.
I can tell you from personal experience, your future is not determined by the school you go to. It is best determined by how you handle disappointment.
If you are faced with that in this circumstance, sleep the disappointment off, and make the most out of your next best alternative.
All the best!

Is RD still expected to drop this week? Also does anyone know this years totalapplicant size?
Likely this week, probably Thurs/Fri 7p cst.
Check out the thread linked above for answers to questions you have. It is where most of the currently active UW posters are at.
is there portal astrology
Someone said 74,000 was shown at the admitted students event
Yeah just saw that thank you, wondering how many they will admit though with the new law.
I have a son who is a freshman at Wisconsin. Last year they released results right before Wisconsin went on Spring Break. Maybe it is a plan by admissions to be out the week following decisions (I say that partially in jest). That said Wisconsin is on spring break next week - so here is hope that my HS Senior son hears on Thursday or Friday!
Looks like they are updating the portal today, so sometime this week for sure…feel free to join us on the UW Early Action Fall 2025 Admissions thread
EA came out on a wednesday, you think it could come out oday?
No I don’t.
But seems a possible EA tell is still working.. see EA thread.
