If we have to wait for your application materials to come in one by one, the total amount of time we will need to evaluate your file may be significantly longer. If your application is complete when we receive it, however, we can immediately forward it on to an admissions counselor for review. Then, once we have entered your application into our database, we will send you a formal acknowledgment letter and information on how to access our touchtone Admissions Inquiry System so that you can check on the status of your application. Unfortunately, handling all those phone calls diverts counselor time from evaluating applications to answering phone calls. Be assured that we are processing your application as quickly as possible, and when we have completed our evaluation, we will notify you immediately by mail.
Admission is both competitive and selective.
Our admission policies are set by the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, the Faculty Senate, and in some cases, individual schools, colleges, and departments. We give particular consideration to applicants who have been out of school two or more years, veterans, persons with disabilities, and those disadvantaged as a result of substandard education, family income level, or ethnic background. We recognize that this can be a time of great uncertainty and anxiety for you, but the more you pay attention to the calendar and stay on top of deadlines, the smoother the process will be for you.
