Wisconsin has risen. It's no longer in the category of these other schools.  Plenty of JR kids with perfect or near perfect grades not getting in. [/quote]

I do know 3 going to Wisconsin this year...which only seems high because I know 3 (vs in prior years not actually knowing any personally) so assume there are more, but maybe that's it.

One is above average, but not perfect or near-perfect.  The other two are strong students that [b]probably fit the profile described above.[/b][/quote]

Do you mean the "perfect or near perfect" profile?  thx--just clarifying![/quote]

Yes.  One is robotics team captain with perfect GPA and the other takes lots of APs and likely also has near perfect GPA.[/quote]

Thx! That is my impression as well.  I have one kid in DCPS and one in private and Wisconsin is a very challenging admit everywhere. 
It is no longer a safety school at all--the kids I know going have perfect grades in top rigor courses.  [/quote]

Again, one of the three is unlike the other two.  Decent but not perfect or near-perfect GPA and not nearly the number of AP classes.

Believe a liberal arts major which may be an easier admit than STEM.[/quote]

Sure, of course.  Humanities is always easier (often much easier and especially for a male--not sure of gender of the kids you know).  Also, there are always kids who get in with lower qualifications. But the typical matriculant from this area to Wisconsin this year is an academically top kid.   [/quote]
