No problem. Good luck!
My daughter was waitlisted to Psych, OOS. Got into Cal Poly SLO as well. Plus: UT Austin. 4.3 W, Eagle Scout, Varsity Swim and an intern in Psych Dept at a research university for two years. She said sheās glad to be in the same group as your daughter!

I feel all of this is super crazy! My son was admitted to UW last night-in state to Real Estate. Also admitted to Cal Poly SLO CM on Monday. Both are stunning admits but was waitlisted at more seemingly less competitive schools. His close friend (female) waitlisted with much higher grades and objectively more rigor in science and was waitlisted for Biology and has not heard from Cal poly. In state rigorous private school-and my son would fall in the 25th percentile of gpas admitted to both schools. I cannot tell you he did anything unique other than he did have two different summer experiences of competitive not paid for-construction internship experiences. Neither schools uses recommendations so itās not as if those people could have vouched for him. I feel guilty more qualified kids did not get in. I feel immensely blessed someone at both schools thought he could cut it. Letās hope they are right. He worked his junior and senior year and had sports and no APs until senior year.
I am sure this will upset people-I am just posting for those scanning later than itās worth the roll of the dice sometimes.

Every college seems to do this differently. Where do I look to see if my student was awarded a scholarship?
Purple and Gold merit awards were listed in the acceptance letter.

S24 got denied at U Washington for Env. Engg. It was a reach for him. We got to know today that he got into Purdue after getting deferred, so all is well!

I got accepted to UW
Requested Arch. Design and got assigned Pre Architecture & Urban Planning (I think Iām on the right track to apply to Arch Design Junior year?)
OOS
First Gen
3.98 Unweighted
Didnāt submit scores cause they were crap

Of the 9 APs, I did dual enrollment for 3 instead of the test in May

I hope this gives hope to somebody out there. Rejection doesnāt mean failure, it only means youāre redirected to somewhere that values you, as you.

Accepted to UMich and U of O architecture program. We were disappointed that our flagship āsafe schoolā waitlisted her while one of her āreach schoolsā accepted her. Still waiting for Berkeley and Cal Poly SLO. But she had options so we are thankful.

Congratulations to you!
Hi, Iām an OOS student from CA who got admitted into UW for business. I was wondering if you could share more about your daughterās experience. Iāve had a rough time with UCs and now that thereās only two leftā¦Iām not feeling really hopeful. I know UW is a great school and itās one of my top choices, but OOS tuition is really expensive 
Any insights would be really helpful and thank you so much!
You did not get one unfortunately.

Anyone here who was accepted into pre sciences major and subsequently took the placement test for a specific major?
anyone received their official welcome materials yet?
It will take a few more days. It just released on Thursday night! They might not even start mailing it out till this week.

Does anyone know if its possible to a appeal if you got accepted as a āpre-majorā. My son applied CS, got pre-science but isnāt interested in any of the direct admit majorsā¦heās not sure if he wants to risk going to UW and applying sophomore for CS, not getting in, and then trying figure out next steps or just attend a school that heās been accepted to that has a full CS and Cybersecurity program ā¦(I think the latter is the obvious choice, but I digressā¦)
Itās not possible. I canāt recommend going to UW at this point as he is unlikely to be studying CS snce the application process for students already attending is more challenging than being admitted right now. One of the full CS/cybersecurity programs would work better. Good luck!!

I keep hearing that the odd are against for students taking the placement test for CS program. However the website indicates that 25%-35% students who take the placement test are offered their major of interest. What am I missing?
