Official UW Transfer Thread 2020

@123a123b Thank you! Right after I submitted that question I saw that they had stated “We do not anticipate any delay in providing transfer admission decisions.” So, fingers crossed we start hearing back in May! https://admit.washington.edu/covid-19/

Yea UW has said admission notifications wouldn’t be affected. They weren’t for freshman, so I doubt they will for us. The only thing I see Covid affecting is that more in state students are choosing to enroll at home instead of going out of state, so in state students that get placed on the waistlist will find it harder getting off. I saw in past years (not this last year though), that transfer students began getting admitted on the last week of April… so fingers crossed for some of us getting in starting tmrw!!?

Yeah wasn’t last year delayed because they delayed the application deadline for Snowpocalypse? Hopefully we’ll find out earlier than they did, because they found out in July.

did anyone hear back today?

Not yet. I haven’t heard of anyone’s unofficial transcripts loading so I don’t think any decisions have been released yet!

mine hasn’t loaded but I keep checking lol

the wait absolutely sucks, i just wish it was one day instead of two months! like we could know tomorrow or in 7 weeks ?

I know they said that COVID wont delay decisions, but hopefully we get our decisions beginning of May and not the end of June, the wait is killing me.

I got into my major last week, but I haven’t heard from the school yet. Last year is not a great model because of Snowpocalypse delaying decisions.

@chicgeek9 omg congrats!!! what is your major??

That’s awesome, congrats!! Would you mind sharing your stats and major?

Hey if anyone is applying to the Allen School for CSE, I emailed them about decision dates and they said that “The Allen School is currently reviewing transfer applications for admission. Applicants should be receiving their decision by Monday, May 11, 2020”. To be clear, I am an out-of-state four-year university transfer so I would suspect this applies to everyone. Either way, it’s a date and most decisions should be coming out that day. Good luck to everyone applying!

Thank you!!! I’m excited, but also eager to hear back from the university.
My major is Chemistry. I’m from a WA CC and my cumulative GPA last quarter was 3.5 (white female; if that matters)

I also got accepted into a major last week, but it was my second choice major (biochem). I don’t know if that means I didn’t get into my first choice major (public health), or if I still have to wait to hear from the public health department regarding their decision. I’m from a CA CC with a 3.9 GPA

Wow congrats to you both!!! Does your unofficial transcript load?

@sullengirl where exactly do I find that?

edit: i think i found it and I got an error message, so no

No, my unofficial transcript doesn’t load. I’m checking it like everyday lol

Hi everyone,
This is my stats by the time I applied:

UW- Foster school, HR major

Cumulative GPA: 3.81

Pre-GPA : 3.7

WSA score : Waiting

I got accepted by UCLA and UCSD already, yet I am still waiting for Foster to make a decision.

Anyone in state or OOS applied for the summer transfer? Have you guys heard the results? Did the unofficial transcript work? I’m an international OOS and waiting for the results for summer
