<p>yeah, I applied jan 15 at like 11:00pm</p>
<p>D got acceptance package yesterday. Also accepted to U. of S. Carolina (Moore Business School).</p>
<p>Now comes Scholarship/FinAid decisions.</p>
<p>As parents we are split - one of us likes being close to her staying in-state (and tuition) with UW. The other wants to just let the financial bottom-line be the primary factor - again that may favor UW, but USC gives in-state status to anyone getting a scholarship of $500 per year.</p>
<p>Not yet prepared to make room deposit just yet.</p>
<p>got in.</p>
<p>GPA: 3.66(as on the website but 3.83 on my own transcript don't know wt happened)
SAT: 570cr, 750math, 620 writing 9essay
came from HK for 1.5 years. english is not my 1st language.
okay counselor rec (i guess), okay-good ec. music, sport, volunteer, red cross, other skills, etc.</p>
<p>hopefully some finaid to help me decide. :)</p>
<p>did all of you guys apply by dec.1st?</p>
<p>No, I didn't apply by 12/1, but I did apply by the end of January... Don't worry guys, I hear that UW has really random mailing system... some people didn't get their letters until mid-april :) Nevertheless, Good Luck!</p>
<p>ACT: nonexistent; GPA: 3.8; AP: US 5, Euro 5, (taking JP, Gov, C. Gov, Calc, & Chem) SAT II: Physics: 760, Math II 750, Chem:710, U.S. His: 770
Stuff: Debate, XC & Track, Robotics, internships, NHS, Founded some club, member of more, Symphony, volunteer at hospital and fair trade org. Work.
Other stuff: National Merit Finalist, speak 3.5 languages (including english, I don't think it's really relevant here but whatever,) came to US seven (?) eight years ago.</p>
<p>I got in but I have a question... How many classes do you take normally in UW? I know that at Hopkins, undergrads only take math and science for like a year (or maybe a semester, can't remember) and it's all pass or fail. Anyone?</p>
<p>Ahh... um, three per semester... I think, four to six if you're crazy</p>
<p>A full schedule is 15 credits, which is three five credit classes. Some people take 4+ classes that are worth lower credits and give less work (in theory).</p>
<p>I got accepted today, applied back on Dec 1</p>
<p>ACT: 26
GPA: 3.61
SAT: 630 (CR), 600 (Math), 630 (Writing)</p>
<p>How come my decision letter hasn't come yet? Our postal system here's whacked. I applied right before December 1 and sent my transcripts about two weeks after. So I should be getting my letter soon, right? I hope I do.</p>
<p>SAT: 740CR, 640M, 790W
GPA: 91-92ish (school doesn't do 4.0 scale)
Rank: Top 5% (not sure)/186</p>
<p>I'm pretty overqualified, I think. Haha. My financial aid award's not even finalized yet 'cause I got an email saying they have to verify my parents' income so I have to send in their tax returns. Sigh. Hassle.</p>
<p>Joanee49,</p>
<p>International admissions has some different issues/rules beyond stats. This is especially true for State Universities that can't have an uncapped number of foreign students admitted at the expense of state residents - even if those residents stats don't measure up.</p>
<p>I would have to say all schools have a 'quota' of international students - but not simply on the basis of diversity only (I would imagine that some states like Calif, Hawaii, even Wash) can fill a diversity quota from in-state applicants. </p>
<p>International applicants should recognize that they are not being admitted through the "big window" but rather through a smaller window where getting 2300-2400 on their SAT (don't discount big endowments from a rich relative) make it a much higher threshold to meet than an in-state resident.</p>
<p>This being said - international students should not be expecting an admission based upon stats that meet threshold admission standards.</p>
<p>Let's face it, if admissions were done on purely academic achievment the majority of all colleges in the U.S. (public/private) would be filled by majority of international students.</p>
<p>One word should be understood by any international student: Quota.</p>
<p>Oh sorry...I forgot to mention that I'm an American citizen...so technically I'm not considered International...but I guess I'm out-of state nonetheless. </p>
<p>I'll be eyeing our mailbox in the next few weeks. Hopefully my decision letter comes soon.</p>
<p>Accepted like two weeks ago, :)</p>
<p>Stats:
GPA:3.85 UW, 3.97 W
SATs: CLASSIFIED INFO, :/
AMAZING ESSAYS, AMAZING REC LETTERS, IMPRESSIVE EC's</p>
<p>I HAD A BIG CHALLENGE IN MY LIFE. BEGINNING OF JR YEAR, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER AND I THINK THIS HELPED A LOT, CONSIDERING MY LOW SAT score, BUT THERE LOW B/C I COULD NOT PREP LIKE YOU GUYS COULD SINCE I WAS ON CHEMOTHERAPY OR VOMITTING, HEHE</p>
<p>I was accepted a little while ago, as well. Pretty excited to go to UW. </p>
<p>I applied in mid-January and am instate...
GPA: 3.7ish
ACT: 32</p>
<p>accepted to honors program :)</p>
<p>^Nice one. I wanted to apply to the Honors program but I got lazy. Hehe.</p>
<p>Anyway. I just got my acceptance letter today in the mail. I'm happy about that. I actually got emails like a week ago about Housing and the Husky Experience already and they were already saying that I was offered admission already. So this didn't come as a surprise.</p>
<p>I didn't realize that I could've checked the status of my application with my UW Net ID. I checked it today and they last updated it March 7 and it said I was accepted and all that. Haha stupid.</p>
