Our office is here to assist as you prepare to become a future Badger. Admission to the University of Wisconsin-Madison is holistic, competitive, and selective. In reviewing your application, we will consider your performance in rigorous course work, written statements, standardized test scores, extracurricular activities and an optional letter of recommendation. We are also looking for sustained involvement in activities in or out of school, leadership, community involvements, research or any special gifts or talents that you would bring to our university.
We encourage you to explore everything the University of Wisconsin-Madison has to offer. Take a campus tour. Attend an admissions or academic program information session. Talk with us and other prospective students online. Read what's happening in admissions and at the university. Check out where proud Badger alumni are living throughout the world. Most importantly, contact us with questions along the way.
