Do you have an aspiring #FutureBadger in your family? Meet leaders from the Office of Admissions & Recruitment to learn about UW–Madison’s admissions process and timelines, plus members of the Wisconsin Alumni Association’s Recent-Grad Council who can share insights into the UW student experience. Bring your student and get information on the college application process, including:
- How many students from Chicagoland attend UW–Madison?
- What happens once an application is submitted, and what does holistic review mean?
- What does it mean that UW–Madison is competitive and selective?
- What needs to be submitted with an application?
- … and much more!
This free program focuses on the application process for those who have not yet applied to the university. It is recommended for high school sophomores, juniors, and their families.
RSVP by May 2. Registration is required due to capacity limits.
