[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If waitlisted at Wisc, he can probably get admitted if his college advisor calls and says he will definitely come if admitted. [/quote]

Really? He's deferred now. You mean we have to wait to see if he's waitlisted or can now? His college advisor is clueless. Can the school counselor call?[/quote]

Ask the school counselor to call or e-mail the regional admissions officer to say that Wisconsin is Larlo's number 1 choice.[/quote]

This. Plus write a LOCI that says it is his first choice as well. [/quote]

Family member from public in similar metropolitan area to DMV wrote LOCI to Wisconsin and got in (prior year). Didn't rely on counselor. Add specific details about the "why Wisconsin," including embrace of the cold![/quote]

Just a piece of advice, def send a LOCI; do not reference the cold, or the sports or madison, but rather what specific programs and classes or certificates etc are they interested in. HOw will they contribute to the life of the school - what clubs or other activities do they envision participating in?[/quote]

More advice based on close friend of my DS 23 who got in to the B-program after being deferred-- Send in the LOCI and any other achievements since the application. Madison is BIG on the "why Madison" question. Include BOTH specific programs and activities where your student can contribute to the community, especially if they show he has made contact or otherwise knows about them beyond the website. If it fits, no harm in referencing that you are leaning into the cold- some see it as a feature and not a bug [/quote]
