I'm planning to apply to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and I want to make sure I don't miss their application deadline. Can anyone tell me when the due date is and offer suggestions for preparing application materials in time?
The University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW Madison) operates on a rolling admissions basis, which means it reviews applications as they are received. Here are the key dates for their 2024-2025 application cycle:
- Their priority deadline is November 1. Completing your application by this date gives you the best chance of acceptance and access to the most financial aid and scholarship opportunities.
- The final deadline for the Spring 2025 term is December 1.
As for getting your applications in on time, here's a suggested timeline:
- Start your application at least one month before the deadline. This will give you plenty of time to ensure that all your information is correct, and you've answered all the necessary questions.
- Start drafting your personal statements early, too. Many applicants find them quite challenging. Beginning early gives you more time to revise and get feedback from teachers, counselors, and peers.
- If you're planning to ask for letters of recommendation, do it at least a month in advance of your deadline. This is out of respect for your recommenders' time and ensures that any unforeseen delays won't cause a problem with your submission.
- Finally, remember that the submission date is the last day everything should be sent, including transcripts and letters of recommendation.
I hope this timeline and these tips help keep you on track! Best of luck with your application to UW Madison.
