![Screenshot of an email. Subject: "The impact of Direct Admit on our family." Sent Friday, August 28, 2026. From and sender name redacted. To: Taylor Odle.
Body: "Hi Taylor, After reading the UW LC magazine, I learned you are the 'inventor' of Direct Admit! This program had a MAJOR impact on my daughter who never thought she would be accepted into so many colleges (for fall 2025 start date). This process boosted her self-esteem which was marred from the consequences of the pandemic and loss of learning.
The ONE LETTER showed her that she was smarter than she thought.
The ONE LETTER gave me a planning tool for finances.
The ONE LETTER saved so much time by not having to apply separately and wait for a response. She didn't even have to use the Common App or worry about an essay!
She is thriving at UW-[redacted] with a 4.0, even though she had a rocky couple of years in high school. Thank you for your work and presentation to the Board of Regents. Direct Admit eliminates the months of worry about 'where will I get accepted' and 'where will my child be living.' You did a great job!
PS In her letter, there were two colleges that didn't participate. It would be nice to have all UW's included. There is already an underlying theme, based on my anecdotal research that 'UW-Madison is impossible to get into, so why even try.'
Thanks again, [redacted]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:zafeioix6vmjo4wuskmz253t/bafkreidilofwgnb6xta6brl5vkfr4crznopwq4amezrty47w3t7kizpr5e)
