Did anyone apply to UW-Madison and hear back from them?

Me either. When I applied they had rolling admissions on their homepage and said to apply as early as possible. I just recently went and looked and they took that off so I'm not sure
How do you think it went? I don't think they've sent out any emails yet

Honestly, not very well.. I did not like talking to myself and having no interaction? do you know how the process works for UW-M? will they do a second interview with staff and applicant or just send out acceptances/rejections?
Thats how I felt as well! It was very unnatural. And as far as their process im pretty sure that's it. I emailed them and they said they will try to have everyone notified of their decision by mid March 🙃

I was pushing off that as well and they consistently were emailing me to submit the assessment. I heard back within 2 weeks or so... Good luck!
Not for me. I literally check everyday 😆

I was waitlisted at rush university but after speaking with admissions about my placement on the list, I should hopefully be accepted sooner rather then later. As of now I committed to St. Ambrose in Iowa

I contacted them and they said they have not sent out any decisions, so no acceptances were sent out. They said decisions will be sent out by mid-march and everyone will hear at the same time.
Ooh thank you thank you! I emailed them last week but didn't get a response back about my application status.
I haven't. Im very surprised too as programs who had deadlines in December have been admitting students since January lol crossing my fingers we hear from them this week
Maybe try emailing them and asking when they are going to let us know?
On their website it says a summer start which usually that is June. I haven't seen a definite date tho
Unfortunately, that's not always the case. The program I will beginning if I don't get into Madison or Milwaukee has a summer start of May 17th. Madison has 3 different summer session start dates, May 17th, May 24th, and June 14th. This is what someone at the Registrar's office told me. It could be that last June date, but it might be in May, I don't know for sure! I just googled the academic calendar and the June 14th session is 8 weeks long, so it will probably be that one, but can't say for certain.
The program webinar mentions that the program is 3 years long and will begin in June every year. The undergraduate summer term (8 weeks) begins June 14 this year, but the graduate schedule may be different.
The webinar also mentioned that they would be running rolling admissions, but I applied in August so take that with a grain of salt.

Thank you so much for this resource! I missed the webinar so this is very helpful!
I applied to Madison and haven't heard anything. I cant even really pick them now because its so close to my other start date for the program that I committed too
I have not heard anything from either and have been watching my email like a hawk lol. I'm anticipating something this week, though...
Madison's start date is really close to the start date of the program I committed to already as well so choosing them and having to go through everything would be chaotic lol I heard back from my committed school in January, so it's a little crazy to me that Madison starts a month later and we still haven't heard from them
Thats what I thought also! I know its common to hear from schools late if you are on the waitlist but for their normal admissions decisions to just be announced mid/late March and start in the summer is crazy. I have friends applying to psych programs that are just starting to hear back but they don't start until fall!I have not heard anything from either and have been watching my email like a hawk lol. I'm anticipating something this week, though...

I was thinking the same! Aghhh I hope we get some news soon!

From Madison or Milwaukee?
Madison!
Did they email you?
Yeah I got an email with a decision letter attached
You mind sharing your stats?
So did I. I emailed them and told them to withdraw my name from the waitlist. Good luck!!
Where will you be attending?
Slippery Rock in PA! Are you gonna stay on the waitlist?
I think you're able to email them and ask or ask where you are on the list
I know. I think I might wait a week or so to see if people will drop off the waitlist before contacting them to get a more accurate picture. I’m hoping to hear from UWM soon too.
Awesome, congrats! I am going to stay on the waitlist, yes. At this point, it's all going to come down to cost D:
Yeah ofc!
My gpa was pretty low.

And I translated some research papers for an orthopedic surgeon. I had other extracurricular activities but they weren’t OT related.
Also I’ll be attending WashU in St. Louis!
Congrats on your acceptance! If I get off the waitlist, I think I will also be attending...so let's see what happens! haha
