Update from Mrs. Kluge- Junior families- Check this out!
On Thursday this week our counselor, Mrs. Kluge met with the junior class to discuss two new initiatives in WI regarding admission to UW system schools. These include:
The Wisconsin Guarantee which offers guaranteed admission to all Universities of Wisconsin (UW) universities for all who qualify. Top 5% of a class for UW-Madison and top 10% for the remaining UW schools. Further information will be coming soon regarding this process.
Direct Admit Wisconsin is an initiative by the Universities of Wisconsin to proactively offer admission to qualifying high school students in between their junior and senior years of high school. Clinton Junior Senior High School has opted in to participate as this was not mandatory. Direct admission removes the traditional application process and instead uses data provided by the high school to admit students to universities. Students will have until June 3, 2024 to OPT In to this program.
