Thank you for contacting the University of Wisconsin-Madison Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
The wait list is unranked, and students who accept a spot on the wait list will receive a final admissions decision sometime after May 1, and no later than the end of July. All students on the wait list will be notified when the wait list has closed.
The number of students admitted from the wait list varies from year to year; over the last five years, we have offered admission to approximately 30% of students on our wait list. Wait list admits are offered on-campus housing and are eligible for need based financial aid, although some funds from campus-based scholarships may be limited.
Should you not be admitted, you may still apply as a transfer student in the future. You can find more information about transferring to UW-Madison here. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us again.
Sincerely,
Angelica
