Hey guys! Does anyone have recent stats on UW Madison's acceptance rate? I'm curious about overall acceptance rates and if they differ between in-state and out-of-state students. Thanks in advance!
Hello! UW Madison's acceptance rate can vary from year to year, but most recently it has been around 50%. This means that approximately 50 out of every 100 applicants are admitted. It's worth noting that acceptance rates can fluctuate depending on the applicant pool and other factors, so it's important not to solely rely on this number.
As for in-state versus out-of-state students, acceptance rates do tend to be higher for in-state applicants. This is partly because public universities like UW Madison have a mission to serve their state's residents. However, the difference in acceptance rates between in-state and out-of-state students isn't usually drastic, so don't be discouraged if you're applying from outside Wisconsin.
To improve your chances of gaining admission to UW Madison, make sure to have a strong academic and extracurricular profile, and submit a well-written essay that highlights your unique qualities. While acceptance rates provide a general idea of an institution's selectivity, individual factors will play a significant role in whether or not you're admitted. Good luck!
