Act Scores at University of Wisconsin?

Hi peeps, considering applying to the University of Wisconsin. Does anyone have info on the average ACT scores they usually accept? Thanks a ton!

Sure, I'd be happy to provide some insight on that. For the 2024-2025 application cycle, the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW Madison) is still test-optional, meaning you don't necessarily have to submit your ACT scores to be considered for admission.

However, if you choose to submit your scores, you may be interested to know that previously, the middle 50% ACT range for admitted students at UW Madison was between 26 and 32. This means that 25% of admitted students scored below 26, while another 25% scored above 32. While this data is valuable, it's important to remember that this doesn't mean students with ACT scores outside this range weren't admitted; it simply signifies the scores where the bulk of admitted students fall.

It's critical to remember that while test scores can play a role in admissions decisions, they are just one factor amongst many that colleges consider, with others including your GPA, course rigor, extracurricular involvement, essays, and letters of recommendation. If you're unsure about your scores, remember to consider the entire context of your application.
