Good morning, we were told by a friend that we need to complete STARS for UW-Madison. The friend is a college counselor so we’re taking her at her word, but don’t know what STARS is and don’t see it referenced anywhere in the UW-Madison application requirements.

Thanks for any help or insight!

Thanks @Anthonydisdain already did that. Found this (at NYU’s site :grinning_face:):

“All students applying for first-year admission from a high school anywhere in the world, or those who were home-schooled and followed a traditional U.S. educational curriculum, will be required to provide the Self-reported Transcript and Academic Record System (STARS). The STARS is free and should take roughly an hour to complete if you have a copy of your high school transcript available.”

Our D has already sent her official transcript and SAT to UW-Madison. Just trying to confirm whether she needs to do something more with STARS (and assuming the above is what it is!)
