UW-Madison enrollment cracks 50,000 for the first time; applications are up 11.4%

The official count, based on enrollment on the 10th day of classes, puts UW-Madison at 50,662, a few hundred more than the University of Wisconsin System projected a few weeks ago. Of those, nearly 9,100 are new to campus as freshman or transfer students and just under half are Wisconsin residents.
