MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The UW System expects to send a record number of Direct Admit offers to Wisconsin high school seniors this fall.
The Universities of Wisconsin plans to offer automatic admission to about 40,000 students entering their senior year this August. That’s nearly 6,500 more than last year through the Direct Admit Wisconsin program.
The initiative, launched in 2024, allows eligible students to be admitted to up to 10 UW campuses without completing a traditional application. Participation has also grown, with 510 high schools taking part this year, up from 467 last year.
