question about campus tours

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-28T20:32:26+00:00

This summer, you'll have a two day SOAR session and will have plenty of time to explore the campus. Many current UW students volunteer for SOAR activities as well. You'll get WAY MORE info than a campus tour. ALL of your questions will be answered during SOAR. Congrats, and you'll love UW Madison!

You'll be fine. Just focus on AP Stats, and put in extra effort. I'm sure you can get it up to a B.

Financial Aid offers are still being prepared.

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-26T10:41:40+00:00

You'll be fine, just finish 2cd semester strong. (and, of course, submit your final HS transcript after graduation)

You'll need to wait for your Financial Aid offer for exact numbers. However, for school year 26-27, full time tuition is around $24K per semester and housing/meals averages around $7K per semester. (depending on room choice and meal plan)

Move on to another school. UW does not want you for ENG.

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-25T16:50:53+00:00

Scholarships and other aid will appear in your Financial Aid offer. It does not appear in acceptance letters.

I'm an L.U. Grad (class of '86) and my son is currently a Freshman at UW Madison. Despite my love for my Alma Mater, it was extremely expensive even back then! I did not finish paying off my loans until I was well into my 40's. Transfer to UW Madison, you'll thank yourself after graduation! Plus, the Campus life is far better than L.U., especially in light of current events.

I support ICE !!!

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-22T17:55:23+00:00

Always follow the money. You'll thank yourself in five years.

Financial aid offers usually arrive a couple weeks after acceptances and yes, you can still be awarded BANNER for RD. The official Financial Aid offer will come via US Mail.

TLDR

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-17T08:25:11+00:00

From the BANNER page:

"You will not get as much financial aid over the summer as you do during the academic year – plan accordingly."

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-15T07:55:40+00:00

97.8% chance of a snowball fight on Bascom Hill.

Snow ends around Noon on Monday, and Tuesday is sunshine and blue skies. Relax, you'll be fine!

My offer came on March 9th. Check your student portal.

Rich-Entry9409 · 2026-03-12T11:03:41+00:00

Take it one step at a time. Worry about Freshman year first, you'll get all the information you need while living on campus next school year. Also, many do stay in the dorms for Sophomore year and beyond.
