The University of Wisconsin is officially moving forward with its guaranteed admission program.
The school unveiled the Wisconsin Guarantee program yesterday. State lawmakers approved a plan this year that guarantees a spot at UW-Madison to all Wisconsin high schoolers who finish in the top five-percent of their class. Kids who finish in the top ten-percent are guaranteed a spot at other UW schools. Students will have to apply to be part of the program, even though some will likely also qualify for direct admission. The Wisconsin Guarantee website has more information.
