Yo! So, I'm hoping to apply to University of Wisconsin, La Crosse soon. Just trying to get a grasp on my odds, does anyone know their acceptance rate? Any advice would be super appreciated. Cheers!
Hey! The acceptance rate at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse varies from year to year, but it's usually around 78-82%. This means that for every 100 applicants, about 78 to 82 are accepted. This might seem high, but admission is still competitive, and top applicants have good high school grades.
In addition to your grades, the admissions committee will evaluate your application holistically, meaning they will take into consideration your extracurricular activities and involvement, letters of recommendation, essay, and possibly an interview. So, while grades and test scores (if provided) are important, they aren't the sole factor used during admissions.
A piece of advice: make sure your essay is well-written, well-constructed, and makes a case for why you're a good fit for the university. It should articulate your passions, special experiences, and why you're interested in UW La Crosse specifically.
And don't forget to ask your teachers or counselor for recommendation letters ahead of time. This can make a big difference, especially if they can speak to your personal qualities and skills that would make you a good fit for the university's culture.
Best of luck with your application!
