Application information for 2008–09
The University of Wisconsin–Madison undergraduate application for 2008–09 will be available on September 15, 2007. At that time, students can apply online at apply.wisconsin.edu or visit www.admissions.wisc.edu to download and print a paper copy of the application.
While the majority of the 2008–09 application will be similar to the 2007–08 Application for Undergraduate Admission (pdf, 506K), we will be introducing changes to the Activities and Statement/Essay sections.
These sections will now read as follows:
Activities Section
- Please list, in order of importance to you, your principal extracurricular, community and/or volunteer activities, as well as honors/awards earned. You may include involvement with school organizations, religious and service organizations, family obligations, employment, and/or participation in the arts, athletics, publications, etc.
- Briefly explain (in 50–100 words), how you decided which item was the most important to you.
Statement/Essay Section
- The University of Wisconsin values an educational environment that provides all members of the campus community with opportunities to grow and develop intellectually, personally, culturally, and socially. In order to give us a more complete picture of you as an individual, please tell us about the particular life experiences, perspectives, talents, commitments and/or interests you will bring to our campus. In other words, how will your presence enrich our community?
- If there is additional information you would like us to consider in reviewing your application, please share this with us as well. This is your opportunity to tell us things about yourself that have not been asked elsewhere if you believe they will help us become acquainted with you in ways different from courses, grades, and test scores.
Students are encouraged to begin thinking about how they might respond to these questions in advance of the application being available for completion and submission.
