UW Seattle is grinning in a corner with a release date of mid-March, despite an application deadline of 11/15. No EA — single timeline.

Isn’t it awful? I see that campus daily from my I-5 commute and I die a little inside thinking of the wait 
Wow, that’s unbelievable
And UCLA is usually late March, as is Northwestern(except for ED applicants).

NW, all the UCs, then the EA deferrals again

It’s bizarre… honestly, it didn’t even pass our mind that we’ve applied to UW Seattle all this while, even as in-state, given this crazy wait! AND they don’t even consider senior term grades. Don’t even talk to me about them being Test Blind. Absolutely wrong state to be in-state… lol
From next week I guess that’s what will remain along with a couple deferral.
At this stage of the process, imo, this - even when only 2 days early - and, especially UVA’s, is what Admissions professionalism is all about:
“ Your child’s admission decision will be available this Friday, January 31 at 4:00 p.m.On Friday, they’ll [log in to myIllini and click on their application for admission to view their status update.”

With you. It’s brutal. I know few months from now, we’d look back at this time and perhaps laugh about it… but right now, I wish there was a gauge to measure the anxiety and stress

Well I hope UIUC is at least Major based admission. UF was sort’a dissapointing
Doesn’t major based admissions usually have low acceptance rate? We are OOS, applied for CS and it has acceptance rate as 4.6% as per above mentioned link. Is your student in state? Even then major based acceptance rates are low, right?
It depends on the major, the more desired ones are harder to get into

OOS physics major. Good question. I think it can go either way. Especially CS will have the lowest accept rate. But if the student is laser focused on a major, holistic admission can be tricky. If a student is okay for a university instead of major, then holistic works better. At UT I heard even in state students who are toppers of class wanting STEM (especially CS) were default offered arts and were deferred for RD. In my sons case physics major is not as competitive as engineering or CS, his chances are bit higher on major based hiring (I’m being bit selfish in this statement…sorry about that )

I can’t seem to find this on Reddit, but I’m surprised by these numbers. Some of these acceptance rates are higher than the overall University acceptance of 43%. Of course my daughter applied to ME which is only slightly better than the hardest major of CS
the reddit screenshot is from my message from yesterday here
Go to the UIUC sub and search for Grainger Acceptance rates. The much lower acceptance rates for some of the larger and more competitive majors lower the overall acceptance rate for Grainger to 24.2%You will also find a similar post with acceptance data for fall 2022 admissions cycle. It is quite interesting to see the changes. Also, the university publishes the acceptance rate by major. Last year Gies had a lower acceptance rate than Grainger. I do not know if the FOIA data includes admissions for second choice majors as well which would obviously make a difference.
Didn’t see your post. Sorry! My current Illini sent me that screenshot last fall.
