If you did get an offer from MSU or Rutgers, would you like it over Wisconsin? Because if in your heart you really like Wisconsin, then just go for it. No need to wait to hear from the others of Wisconsin wins anyhow

What deadline did they give you? Most grad schools have the universal deadline of April 15. I do not believe you can extend it beyond this point.

Hi, yes I'm pretty sure this is taken into account. You seem to have extensive research experience, so I do not imagine that would be a problem in your application.
