Current UW-Madison Students
Students currently enrolled at UW-Madison will be eligible for sophomore admission if they entered UW-Madison or a transfer institution in summer 2008 or later. Students who matriculated in college earlier than summer 2008 and do not fall under the 10 semester rule will be evaluated under the previous junior admission standards.
We will admit both junior and sophomore classes for fall 2009. Please be aware that juniors and sophomores will apply separately, and will not compete against each other for admission.
