UW-Madison Deferred Acceptance Rate?

Hi all! Just got my deferral from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I was wondering, what's the acceptance rate for deferred applicants? Trying to gauge my chances of getting in during the regular decision round. Thanks!

Hey! I understand it can be a bit nerve-wracking to be deferred, but don't lose hope! The acceptance rate for deferred applicants at the University of Wisconsin-Madison can vary year by year, so it's difficult to provide a concrete percentage. However, it's important to keep in mind that being deferred means your application is still being considered and you have a chance of being accepted in the regular decision round.

During this time, you might want to use the opportunity to strengthen your application where possible. You can update your application with any recent accomplishments, improved grades, or newfound interests. Also, consider submitting a letter of continued interest (LOCI) to express your enthusiasm about attending UW-Madison and reaffirm why the school is your top choice.

Remember, the deferral isn't a denial, and the admissions committee saw potential in your application to give it further consideration during the regular decision round. Stay positive and focus on maintaining strong academic performance throughout the remainder of your senior year. Best of luck!
