Admissions Category - Academic Performance and Course Rigor
This data point provides a summary of high school academic performance through placing students in one of three groups based on similar grade performance and course rigor. Admitted students are not equally distributed between these hierarchical group. As of 1/29/2025, admitted first-year students are distributed across the three academic groups as follows:
- Group 1: (34.0% of admits) This group has achieved all A/A- Grades taking rigorous courses across 4-5 course subjects. Course subject areas include English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Language
- Group 2: (33.5%) Most of the students in this group have achieved A- grades with rigor across 4 subjects. Some students may have achieved higher grades with slightly lower rigor or slightly lower grades with slightly greater rigor.
- Group 3: (32.4%) This group contains all remaining admits. Most students in this group have achieved A-/AB grades with rigor across 2-4 subjects.
It is appropriate to note that access to high course rigor is not consistent among our admitted students and that some schools do not offer as many opportunities for advanced course work. As a result, not every student will have an opportunity to achieve at the highest academic performance and course rigor groups. The Academic Performance and Course Rigor Group should be used in conjunction with other aspects of student achievement.
Admissions Category – Wisconsin Idea and Impact
Extraordinary |
Few are given this highest rating. Students in this category have shown evidence of interest in making an impact on their community through a UW-Madison education AND shown evidence of currently making an impact on their school/community. This could include:
|
Exceeds Expectations |
These students show evidence of a genuine interest in making an impact on their community through a UW-Madison education. This could include:
|
Meets Expectations |
This is the most common rating in our applicant pool by far. These students show involvement in high school and/or interest in involvement as a student at UW-Madison though do not rise to the level of the first two categories. |
Average | These students may have limited involvement and/or share minimally as to how they will become involved as a student at UW-Madison. |

Other Undergraduate Admit Types you should not use:
- EOS (Engineering Outreach Student) is not used by any career.
- CAD (Connections Apply Direct) should not be used as they indicate current Connections students (doing first 54 credits at partner campus) and if they return after 54 credits, will reapply with an Admit Type of TRF.
- 2ND (second degree) is used when applicants indicate they want a 2nd degree. If verified that they can attend for a 2nd degree, Admit Type is changed TRF, RAD, or RET as appropriate; if not, they remain a Admit Type of 2ND and are denied admission.

Cronbach's alpha is a measure used to assess the reliability, or internal consistency, of a set of scale or test items. In other words, the reliability of any given measurement refers to the extent to which it is a consistent measure of a concept, and Cronbach's alpha is one way of measuring the strength of that consistency. See more here: Virginia stat Consulting or here (Wikipedia).

CRUDE PROTEIN
A measure of the amount of protein in a feed determined as the amount of nitrogen multiplied by 6.25. The factor 6.25 is the average grams of protein that contains 1 gram of nitrogen. The word "crude" refers to the fact that not all nitrogen in most feed is exclusively in the form of protein. Because most feeds contain non-protein nitrogen (NPN), crude protein generally overestimates the actual protein content of a feed.

FA - Expected Family Contribution (EFC)
FA - Packaging Status (Y/N)
Packaging Status (Y/N) shows whether or not a student has received their initial financial aid offer for a given academic year. If the student has submitted a FAFSA and received their initial financial aid offer, they will have the value of "Y." If the student has submitted their FAFSA but does not have a financial aid offer yet, it will show the value of "N." If the student has not submitted the FAFSA, the value will be blank. The intention of this data point is to offer more clarity around a student's financial information. There are several important things to remember when referencing this data point:
- You should not use this data point as a qualification. Doing so might negatively impact students in the process of completing verification.
- Even if a student has received their financial aid offer (i.e. has a "Y"), their financial aid offer may still change. OSFA is required by federal regulations to adjust student financial aid offers if a student receive additional financial aid (ie. scholarships, fellowships etc) after they receive their initial financial aid offer. A student may also experience a dramatic change to their financial situation (i.e. parent retiring, loss of parent's job) that might cause a re-evaluation of the student's financial aid offer.
- When summer enrollment begins in late spring, you may see some students who were previously marked as "Y" move to "N." Summer financial aid offers use the same FAFSA data as the preceding academic year. These students still have their academic year offers. For next year offers (so the future academic year), this will not be an issue.

L&S Department ID/UDDS
A Department ID is the sequence of numbers that identifies a specific campus department, program, or entity. Historically, the Department ID was known as a "UDDS," which stands for "Unit, Division, Department, Subdepartment." This term is still in use in some resources, so we are including it in this glossary listing.
In more practical terms, a Department ID/UDDS is the unique combination of letters and numbers that identify the division, department, and possibly subdepartment, associated with a particular personnel, research, financial, or other activity or transaction.
EXAMPLE: The full Department ID for a particular Letters & Science Department would be written as : 48XXXX.
"48" stands for "College of Letters & Science"
"XXXX" are the four numbers that identify the specific department, program, project, or other administrative entity.
A list of Letters & Science Department ID/UDDS numbers can be found at:

The three main sources of MP include rumen undegraded protein (the dietary protein fraction that has not been degraded in the rumen), the microbial (bacterial) protein synthesized in the rumen from the fermentation process, and the endogenous protein (intestinal digestive enzymes and sloughed cells from the gastro-intestinal tract). The latter source is minimal.
