<p>congrats all! what's up with the "unofficially accepted" thing though lol?</p>

<p>Well, at least for me... </p>

<p>I checked the "student" tab on "MyUW" webpage, and then clicked on "unofficial" transcript. Once you're accepted, the information fills in with your major and standing.</p>

<p>Once I receive my envelope in the mail, I guess it will be official!</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
