The University of Wisconsin-Madison contacted more than 40 applicants on Thursday to inform them that their SAT scores were among thousands miscalculated last fall. But the university said that corrected scores provided by the College Board this week would not affect admissions standings.
Only eight of 42 applicants with inaccurate scores had been denied admission, said Tom Reason, UW-Madison’s associate director of admissions. He said that in almost every case the corrected score wasn’t high enough to change the university’s decision.
