UW-Madison plans to enroll 500 fewer students for next fall’s freshman class

University admissions is aiming for a freshman class size of 8,100 in 2023, UW-Madison spokesperson John Lucas said. It’s a similar goal to what UW-Madison hoped to enroll for this year’s freshman class, before a larger yield rate of enrolled students stymied plans and led to a record-breaking class size of 8,628.
