[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]not OP but note they said high 1300s, not 1300.  But not sure that will make a difference.  My kid scored 1380, but didn't submit it when doing applications as he felt it didn't reflect his capabilities (did better on pre-SAT).  Still got into Wisconsin.  But this past year has been a crazy admission season.  Who knows?

I'm not sure Wisconsin as #1 US Party school is really the best fit for him, but figure it is a big school and he is likely to find his people.  He has requested a dorm that are NOT considered a loud party dorm.  Perhaps your kid will do the same.  Fingers crossed, but also knowing transferring out is always an option![/quote]

They have come down in the rankings. When I was there, they had an asterisk that they didn't rank professionals.

Just because it is a party school doesn't mean EVERYONE parties all of the time. There are a lot of very serious students there and they all work hard. The town and the college spirit because of the sports are second to none.[/quote]

Right - no one should mistake “party school” for “slacker school” when it comes to Wisconsin or similarly situated colleges. Wisconsin is the definition of a “Work Hard Play Hard” school. It has a great party scene, but people also take their academics seriously (or else they’ll flunk out).[/quote]
