***Official UW Class of 2021 Acceptance Thread***

Do acceptances get released tonight?

I just now submitted my waitlist form. Will that hurt my chances of being accepted?

Accepted!

Major: Pre-science, hopefully chem
Gpa: 3.81 UW / 4.19 W (taking 8 fine arts classes at my HS made me take a major L in terms of GPA lmao)
ACT: 35
Extracurriculars/community service: president of asian culture club, national honors society, volunteering for an art gallery
Full IB Diploma
Essay: I can’t even really remember what the prompts were but I wrote about visual arts and how it connects to chemistry
OOS: Colorado

I will most likely attend if I don’t receive any other offers, but I’m kinda bummed out about how expensive it is, even with the scholarship :confused:

Casey…Did they post this today?

@Bioed I got my letter yesterday morning and saw my decision on the 17th through myUW, but I hear they send things out in batches and I know of a few people who live in state and still haven’t gotten anything

Thank you Casey…Congratulations to you. I am still waiting for the decision on me. Also a lot depends on the cost for me as well… just got admitted at BU this weekend with almost full scholarship.

@Bioed Congrats!! I’m really excited about UW but it’s really expensive. I wish you the best of luck!!

@prayersforUW has UW reversed decisions on the basis of appeals that weren’t about new info in the past? Are people appealing because they think a mistake was made?

Good luck to everyone who hasn’t heard back yet

Applied for summer and still haven’t heard back yet. No email for waitlist/reject or portal update. The wait is killing me

Still waiting on the mail! Come on…we live 30 minutes away!

I think I’ve been accepted, but haven’t gotten anything in the mail yet!

Sent an appeal yesterday xD

My daughter got accepted to UW DA aero engineering. It was posted 3/14 on the website. She just got the letter today. We live in state, about an hour south of Seattle.

Same situation as @notmyname2 . Just received my letter as well, DA to Foster.

Did anyone put a DA major on their application, but your unofficial transcript says “pre”? Have you received your letter yet?

Because she is a current college in the high school, the transcript still says “non-matriculated.” The wait for the letter is torture, especially since she has an acceptance elsewhere we would like to move forward with if she isn’t DA.

For OOS students that got the purple & gold scholarship - was it in the letter itself? my stats are pretty high for UW and I didn’t get anything… Could anyone share if they got it & their stats?

^^^Yes, it is in the letter/acceptance.

Would the unofficial transcript indicate an honors acceptance? Or should I just wait it out for the email/letter
