Official UW Transfer Thread 2020

I’m from an out-of-state community college and I haven’t heard back. To say I’ve been anxious is an understatement.
I have to say though, while I didn’t have an account until a few days ago, reading everyone’s posts has been helpful in calming me down, so thank you to everyone who has updated!

OOS but WA CC with 3.9 GPA. Didn’t take SATs and have GED. Haven’t heard back…

Update: Someone posted on r/udub that they called yesterday and was told admissions should all be released by the end of the week. There will be a slight delay.

@E5dn10

I’m assuming that you’re worried due to not having SAT scores and having a GED. Then you don’t have to worry too much because as long you have more than 40 Quarter College Credit then the SAT is not a requirement for you and the GED is not a factor in admissions.

Emailed admissions to ask if they were going to be giving out decisions in July and all they said was “Unfortunately, we have not released all transfer decisions yet. We are working to get those out to students as soon as we can.” … super helpful haha ?

My unofficial transcript just loaded this afternoon! I wish you all the same good fortune!

Stats:

-Transferred out of a WA CC
-3.780 GPA
-Pre-Major for Infomatics
-7 Year Veteran from the USAF
-Strong essay speaking on my experience with the military and how it taught me independence and growing up as the son of immigrant parents.

See you all at UW!

Congrats to everyone who got accepted today, my unofficial just loaded probably before 5 pm. So check yours!

Stats: 3.7-3.8 GPA
Pre-Major
My essay is ok, that’s about it.

I got in! I checked my unofficial transcript around 5 and it loaded and I can accept my offer! MANIFEST IT GUYS! Good luck to everyone else who’s still waiting, I hope you all get in!

I should add, I got into Pre-Major for the College of Arts and Sciences, I said Business was my first choice and that Economics was my second (I didn’t apply directly to the departments because I don’t have one of the prereqs done). I applied with a 3.55 GPA but sent an updated transcript when spring grades came out, my GPA being 3.57. I guess my essay was better than I thought! Another way you guys can check to see if you got in if it’s true that unofficial transcripts only update once a day: go to the page where you would confirm enrollment and if you haven’t been accepted yet it will say there aren’t any offers for you to accept, but if you’re accepted it will let you confirm and pay the fee!

I got in! Checked my application around 8 AM! Congrats to everyone who got in, see u in the fall!

My boyfriend just got in! We can accept the offer in the confirm page but both unofficial transcript and application status have not loaded yet. I’m so happy for him! I guess the application status will load later today. STAT: 3.6-3.7 gpa, WA CC, pre major for business

Thank you for your update and congratulations! Same happened to my son! He can accept the offer but application status and transcript have not been updated yet.

Waited over 2 months to get rejected.
Stats:
School: WSU
Class: Entering Sophmore
GPA: 4.0
Major: Pre-Sciences

After a long wait, I was rejected by UW.

Stats:
Out of state 4-year university transfer (UNM)
WA resident
4.24 GPA (4.33 scale) / 4.0 (4.0 scale)
15 semester credits at the time of applying (around 23 quarter credits)
Entering sophomore
Applied to pre-engineering since my university didn’t have the major I was interested in

My unofficial transcript loaded about an hour ago! I’m so relieved that the wait is over. I hope everyone hears back soon. I hope to meet some of you in the fall!

@hamilsha, I’m really sorry you weren’t accepted. You sound like you would be an asset to the UW. I do not know if there is an appeal process for transfer waitlists. I’m trying to remember if you were planning on going to a WA CC and leaving UNM. Wishing you the absolute best with whatever choice you make.

For those who got rejected at a sophomore standing please don’t be down, especially after you waited for two months. There’s a higher chance of rejection for students who aren’t at a junior standing when they transfer.

I’m sorry for everyone who did not get in, do not be discouraged!
Here are my stats for anyone who wants them.
