Accepted students thread

<p>And my D with similar stats (in final review since 12/11) just got her unofficial transcript load today!</p>

<p>I got in about 20 minutes ago :)
I'll just give some minor stats for now:</p>

<p>Applied: December 1st, Materials received: March 3rd, Accepted: Today (March 7th)
White Male
Washington Resident
Small public school, very uncompetitive
3.96, 3/~200
3 Independent Study APs, 3 Running Start courses
CR: 700, M: 710, W: 750, 2160/2400
ECs: Year-long exchange, Band, Speech/debate, and lots of others</p>

<p>No word from Honors yet. Good luck to everyone else :)</p>

<p>Woo hoo! My transcript loaded today :)</p>

<p>About how long of a wait was it before you guys got your packet?</p>

<p>You likely will have your acceptance letter in 2 to 4 days depending on location. UW does not send their full packet (housing and other info) at the time of acceptance. Their admissions office indicated to me yesterday that those are trailing the admissions letters by about two weeks.</p>

<p>Make that one week on the larger packet. It came today, one week after the skinny acceptance letter.</p>

<p>Cool thanks bmilstead! </p>

<p>I'm really excited about this :)</p>

<p>Bmilstead, I got the info packet a day after my acceptance letter, which came two days after the status change. It depends on where your residency is.</p>

<p>Where is your residency Sherwelthlangley?</p>

<p>Like I said above, still no word on honors...it's exasperating waiting. Maybe they are reviewing her app for a big scholarship ? (Hey, I can dream can't I)....the website says they review honors apps after admittance to UW...we'll they've had her app for almost 3 months now...but no denial letter...so maybe there is still hope????</p>

<p>Do they send rejection letters from Honors?</p>

<p>I did not know there'd be an info. package after the acceptance letter. lol</p>

<p>I got my acceptance on Feb.28th, that means I should expect the info. package REALLY soon? Because I live in Seattle.</p>

<p>congrats guys!!!</p>

FYI, I was admitted to honors about 1 month after being admitted to the U. And I was admitted in Dec., so now with the large volume of acceptances, it might take until April or so. Good luck!</p>

<p>@play-doh, I live in the Seattle area, some 10-15 miles from the campus, so it would be fast. In fact, I have a view of the campus from my house!</p>

<p>Oh wow :) that is cool Sherwelthlangley, it must be nice to be able to see all those beautiful trees in just a few minutes :)</p>

<p>I wonder if anyone from Colorado has gotten their letters and has seen how long it took them to get to them. </p>

<p>Now just have to wait to hear about Honors</p>

<p>i got accepted. not sure if i'll go though</p>

<p>I got accepted a month or two ago - can't remember. xD
