Hey guys! I'm applying to the College of Letters and Science at UW Madison, and I was wondering if the acceptance rate for this college is different from the overall university acceptance rate? Thanks in advance!
Hello! You're right to consider that individual colleges within a university may have different acceptance rates. However, UW Madison doesn't release separate acceptance rates for the various colleges within the university.
While specific acceptance rates for the College of Letters and Science may not be readily available, keep in mind that Letters and Science is the largest college within UW Madison, and it's not a specialized or highly competitive program (unlike some engineering or business programs, which can have more rigorous admissions standards). So, it's fair to assume that the acceptance rate is quite similar to the school's overall rate, which is typically around 60%.
Best of luck with your application!
