UW Madison Wait List, class of 2028

Are there any international students being put off the waitlist yesterday?

Has anyone seen any other posts of people accepted yesterday outside of the three who posted here? If not, this seemed more like part 2 of Wave 1 and not the second wave.

My daughter is checking every few hours, but no word. It’s so hard. On me. She is doing fine and pretty excited about her second choice. She was accepted at every school she applied to and is feeling good about that.

Congratulations! Can I ask about the time-line they gave him in the letter. What date did he have to accept by? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

Thank you for sharing that!

We live in CA also, and are wondering if there will be any business majors let off the waitlist? :weary:

Thank you! They gave him until Thursday June 6 to accept, i believe by midnight but can’t access that notice anymore on the website. It makes sense to have that Thursday deadline so they can release the next wave of acceptances on Fridays like they’ve done in the past. Hoping and praying for all of you to get good news soon, I know how nerve-wracking it is. I agree with @pilate that yesterday seemed like a very few were released. Still hoping that big second wave gets released soon for you.

Eagerly waiting for your housing spreadsheet :joy: We spent so much time doing the research on his committed school and submitting his preferences, it’s daunting to have to do it all over again.

My son tried to schedule his SOAR but no sessions available. Called the number and they said they’d send an email in about a week when it’s fixed/available.

As promised. I’m not familiar with UW-Madison dorms personally, but I combined student ratings/comments from two websites with details from the Dept. of Residence Life. The column I feel least sure about is “Single Rooms”. Corrections are welcome, YMMV

Wow, you are amazing. Thank you! I’m so glad you have an AC column, that was my son’s number 1 requirement.

One student on that reddit post was admitted pre-business during either EA or RD was just admitted directly into business. Hopefully that’s the first step before opening it up to business majors on the waitlist.

My daughter is a in state business major. Honestly our hope has been fading fast. There has been little to no movement when it comes to any of the business majors. I think we’ve seen 2 so far. I wish we could move on because the wait has been so difficult but we can’t. Madison has always been her dream school and the only school she’s ever wanted to attend. I just hope we find out any answer sooner than later. :crossed_fingers:

This is our third time through this with number 3 starting this fall.

Hopefully you’ve seen this from the official housing web site, but it’s a comprehensive look at the dorms all the way to floor plans. https://www.housing.wisc.edu/undergraduate/residence-halls/#our-halls

Another resource that’s somewhat helpful. https://www.madhousing.com/

The southeast vs lakeshore thing is self perpetuatingly real. My first two loved their experiences in southeast dorms Sellery and Ogg, and number 3 hopes to be in southeast as well.

Good luck with your decisions.

No decisions today that anyone heard on any forum? It’s a Friday after all.

Has anyone heard anything?

This is making me REALLY nervous for other school movements
 guessing they got close to their yield this year besides engineering

I don’t want to give false hope, but we’re still a few hours away from the deadline for students with FA offers to commit. I thought more decisions would come out today, but next week is the real acid test.
