Official UW Transfer Thread 2020

I got a letter from uw general (it said major: business administration (finance)) But I have not gotten foster letter yet… I am not sure which link are you talking about, but when I tried to confirm my enrollment I couldn’t. It brought me to the unofficial transcript link and it said The Student Personal Services are available to current and former UW students (enrolled since 1983).

Just got my acceptance letter from Foster. So its 100%, I cried a little seeing it.

@Areaze

Congrats, I hope everyone that is Pre-Science/Art gets in soon enough, feels sad man. My group of transfers gotta wait until Majors are done deciding I think?

Thanks! It seems like it, the acceptance letter implies that the department makes a decision then sends that decision to UW general. It makes sense because entering as juniors we would need to have a major declared right. That’s only possible if your major department has accepted you.

Hey guys, congrats to everyone who’s admitted. Just saw the result from foster. Rejected. Not really surprised though. Wish to be admitted by general admission.

sorry, this might be a dumb question! I’m a pre-science applicant, so do all pre-major decisions come out after the decisions for people who applied to their majors?

Is anyone around here applying for psychology (BA)? Have you heard anything? Still waiting…

@ahellers i applied for psychology!! in the past it seems that a lot of psych majors were admitted mid june which feels like a million years from now lol

@ahellers I applied as Psych but not directly to the major (my school doesn’t offer some of the pre reqs). Hopefully we hear back soon since people seem to be hearing back earlier than last year!!

did you guys apply for summer or fall? I applied for summer, which starts June 22nd.

@ahellers Did you try the unofficial transcript trick to see if you are in the UW system as a student and given a student ID?

@Areaze I did, no joy

@Ahellers I applied for fall, but I’m thinking about emailing admissions and seeing if it would be possible for me to take a summer quarter. IDK if I would be allowed to though.

@Uw10111 , Yeah I thought it was a little weird how you could apply for one or the other, but not both.

Are these people getting admitted to fosters super early?
I’m wondering how this timeline compares to last year and the year before tbh

@123a123b last year’s decisions for Foster started coming out on the 20th. That year was the supposed snowpocalypse delay, so i think things are going pretty normal, or maybe a little ahead. Page 4 of this thread had the timeline from last year.

Just received my UW General confirmation too.

So received both UW General and Foster in 1 day, today.

@nhxxxn @apple_pie @McLovinlife congratulations to y’all! Could you guys share your stats if you don’t mind? Thank you!

@imkuizxx Did you get that table of the admittance comparisons in your rejection letter?
