UW Madison currently has some of the best graduate programs in the country, one being there sociology graduate program tied for first place. Wisconsin high school students have UWM on their lists from the start of freshman year and work hard in hopes of being accepted.

With the acceptance rate being the lowest it’s been in 20 years at 50.5%, students are having a harder chance being accepted.

Even then, students from Arrowhead are getting in.
Laurel Ruesch, Leah Sandefur, Andrew Wartman, Emily Mae, and Max Strange are just some of the students from Arrowhead that got accepted. Although they got accepted, some have chosen other schools over UWM.
