Hey there! While I can't share specific examples of successful essays (to protect privacy), I can definitely give you some tips for crafting a standout UW Madison essay:
1. Be personal and authentic: Share your own story and experiences that have shaped you, rather than trying to fit a mold.
2. Showcase your passion: Whether it's a certain subject, an extracurricular activity, or a personal project, convey enthusiasm and dedication.
3. Connect with UW Madison: Do some research on the university and discuss how its programs and resources align with your goals and passions. This shows that you've put thought into why UW Madison is the right fit for you.
4. Revise and edit: Make sure your essay is polished and free of grammar and spelling errors. Have someone you trust (e.g. a teacher, counselor, or friend) review your essay and give feedback.
Ultimately, a strong essay will showcase your unique personality and experiences, demonstrate your interest in UW Madison, and be well-written. Good luck with your application!
