I was President of my High School's Rho KappaNov 04 2016Civil Engineering
I was President of my High School's Rho Kappa Society, I was a representative in Student Senate for 3 years, and in NHS for 1 year. I was also on Junior and Senior board during those respective years in high school. My ACT was around a 27, and my GPA was around a 3.75. I took 8 AP courses and 3 Honors classes in high school, and volunteered a good amount. It is not overly hard to get into Madison, but you're going to need to really try to get in.

I was pretty scared about getting in but asFeb 26 2015Pharmacy
I was pretty scared about getting in but as long as your scores are high enough, essay is well written, and you are generally showing interest in the school it shouldn't be a problem. I recommend VISITING first to make sure you're comfortable in the city of Madison, as there are people who aren't affiliated with the university often on campus and such.
