I really like Madison. I've only been here since June, so I obviously haven't experienced a Wisconsin winter, but I think the city is great, i love the people and the culture, and the school seems like a pretty big community which is nice. The big thing I've been thinking about is could i imagine doing it long term. But I really like Wisconsin's value.

Just tailing off that, what exactly would constitute instate tuition qualification? As I said I've been here since June so when Fall 2014 would roll around if I were still here it'd be over a year. Would that constitute in-state tuition?

Has anyone seen any major movement? I applied on 9/2 and it finally went complete on 10/30. I emailed admissions about it and they said they were having some issues with residency stuff.
I also received an email with a scholarship form and today, I received an email about my CAS file being complete.

I don't know exactly how it is going
This year but This is my third year applying and the first two years were very very slow. I would expect the same this year. Very slow movement.

Yeah, I think for those of us who are applying ED we are looking primarily at the first two weeks of December... possibly the last week of November.....the wait continues

So I have received status checkers from schools I applied to days after UW but haven't gotten one from UW yet.

Were any of you able to get a merit-based fee waiver?

[kjm4815]

Checking in! Still waiting on ED decision

[McAvoy]

Were any of you able to get a merit-based fee waiver?

I was refused one, LSAT far above 75, GPA around median.

Checking in.

Madison offered me an app fee waiver - is that what your asking about? I never applied for need based.
GPA: median, LSAT: probably 75-85%

Went complete last week. So, we'll see! Good luck everyone.

Oh man if they aren't even through the ED's yet imagine how long it will be for us regular decision people.

[kjm4815]

deferred today from ED

[buckythebadger]

Oh man if they aren't even through the ED's yet imagine how long it will be for us regular decision people.

People with admit numbers will likely hear late next week, Thursday or Friday, if their past trends continue this year.

Good... I have been waiting so long for this. I was rejected twice and now retook the LSAT and I should be a lock. I think since I applied twice before there is no threat of yield protection or anything so I should get in!

[torresash14]

FINALLY in review as of today!
