Hi everyone! I know every year applicants are always wondering when they will hear back from schools. This past cycle we had no interviews and offers were extended by email on 2/16! Obviously no guarantee that the timeline will stay the same but hopefully it will give you somewhat of an idea

Hi! Not to ask a stupid question, but I have a stupid question. I am finalizing my lists of schools I am applying to after calculating my GPAs for the 4th time lol. anyways, on the website for Wisconsin it states "Applicants become ineligible if they receive a grade less than C in a required course." Does anyone know if they accept repeated courses and if so if they allow the replacement or simply average the two scores. Thanks!

I applied to Wisconsin last year for the first time, I did not get in but I had an application review this spring. I was told by the person in admissions that they do replace repeated courses in their science and prerequisite calculations. However, for the overall and last 30 remain what they are (if that makes sense). In my case, I got a C in biochem. I am retaking it currently and on track for an A this time around. 🤞 Since both grades are on my transcript and within my last 30 credits those two grades will be "averaged" in those calculations. But for my science and prerequisite GPA calculations my retake grade will replace the original!

Hi, did you have a supplemental? & was there essay responses in it?

Is anyone else kinda weirded out that supplemental apps don’t get sent out until November?

I’m a little confused on that! Do only eligible applicants get the supplemental or do all applicants?

I think all applicants?? But honestly not sure it was pretty vague

From UW Madison's School of Veterinary Medicine website: The UW–Madison School of Veterinary Medicine also has a supplemental application. Our supplemental application provides the opportunity for applicants to expand on their personal and background experiences. All applicants are required to complete the supplemental application, which includes a UW-Madison application fee of approximately $60. Information regarding supplemental application will be e-mailed to eligible applicants after November 1st.

So it is only eligible applicants that are able to fill out the supplemental application.
