According to the CDS, only about 5% of UW Madison students get any kind of merit. I do have an OOS kid that did get a nice merit award. But that is unusual and it was a very niche award. You can and should dig through the scholarship hub if you haven’t done so! Some require seperate applications, etc. Most awards are small. And many are very specific (from a geographic area, for a certain major, etc).

Congrats to the new future badgers!
And don’t lose hope deferred folks! They have used more OOS deferrals the last few years. Many will be accepted yet, jump the hoops!

Yes, we are going through the 5 stages of grief. But, thankfully there are other great options that already came through. We’re going to miss Bucky.

Well, thanks to all the curious portal astrologers who keep these threads active, we got to know decisions much sooner than Wisconsin wanted… I hope no one is complaining of the madness on this thread now… lol
