2020-2021 Wisconsin

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
TBH i think the ranking change is insignificant.

Members don't see this ad.
 
Anyone on the waitlist doing anything? I want to submit a letter of intent but they don’t accept updates...

i emailed them about LOI and what to do if on the waitlist. they said you can send a LOI but it has zero influence on where you are on the waitlist. soooo i’m not gonna waste my time 🤷‍♀️
In a way, this is kinda nice. Sure, it's unnerving knowing there's nothing you can do to control you own destiny but at the same time, the pressure to submit a stream of increasingly substanceless updates and love letters is alleviated.

It would do wonders for our mental health if the waitlist was ranked and continuously viewable (something like Iowa's).

Yeah I know, I said ranked+continuously viewable. From my understanding, you don't get real-time (or close to real-time) updates of your WL position at Wisconsin but you do at Iowa.

Can any current students comment on what it was like to move around for rotations? Did you have to find temporary housing or was it provided? Is there a process to receive an exception so that you can stay in Madison for 4 years?

What a current student told me- there are 4 blocks that are 3 months each and 1 of the 4 blocks has to be at another site. You rank the sites and most students get their first choice.
 
Planning on withdrawing, hope one of you amazing people gets my spot :)! Anyone know how to withdraw though? The portal doesn't have a button for this...

I emailed admissions for schools that I withdrew from without a button

scholarships are still going out for all types (most likely thru may): need based, merit based, both, etc.

they did mention that they only had a small amount left though
 
What did they say about scholarships? I couldn’t attend and the videos aren’t up yet
Yes they’re still given out scholarships! I attended the financial aid session and was shocked to have received one later today!

They’re giving them out until April 30th, but like @cayenne911 said they could go out until May - mainly if students who received scholarships ended up later withdrawing

Not sure about the waitlist process for scholarships, but it’s possible I would think!

Same. So far I see at least 2 IS withdraws on this page.
lol I need a lot more than 2 :( Definitely still have a small chance but it's gonna be close. Hopefully there's an unusually large amount of movement this year.

Also, the April 30 CYMS deadline hasn't hit yet... I think we can expect more withdrawals over the next couple of days

Usually how many students get off the waitlist? If you’re ranked 40th on the oos waitlist what are your chances?
Hmm, read through last year's thread and see what happened. But honestly, I would say your chances are not the best... but you never know! There could be HUGE WL movement this year
 
Just received my rejection from UWSMPH off the WL. IS, interviewed early December. Extremely disappointed. Good luck to all of you :)

So does decile rank (which is better high percentile right?) takes into account OOS WL and IS WL right?
 
So does decile rank (which is better high percentile right?) takes into account OOS WL and IS WL right?
I think higher percentile is better. But I'm not sure if they differentiate OOS vs IS decile ranking or if they combine all applicants into one pool for that...
 
Higher the decile the lower your rank number is. E.g. the first person in line (rank 1) is in the 100% decile
 
Quick google search on decile ranking because there is a lot of confusion on here.

A decile rank assigns a number to a decile:

Decile RankPercentile
110th
220th
330th
440th
550th
660th
770th
880th
990th

The higher your place in the decile rankings, the higher your overall ranking. For example, if you were in the 99th percentile for a particular test, that would put you in the decile ranking of 10. A person who scored very low (say, the 5th percentile) would find themselves in a decile rank of 1.

You're correct about the inverse relationship but minor correction on the example you offered:

*E.g. the first person in line (position 1) is in the 100% decile
