<p>rejection. was ****ing ticked but reading through here, it seems that the higher the numbers the more your app is scrutinized.</p>
<p>2250 SAT, 3.97uw GPA (with academic rigor, not coasting), solid ECs</p>
<p>whatever, I’m hopefully going out of state anyway</p>
<p>Wow! Yet another case of high stats and a rejection. Can’t believe it. AvgAsian, you have stats that are well above published averages. We can only speculate. My new guess is that since honors college is really inter-disciplinary program, they are looking to build a class with students wanting to major in different areas rather than the one dominated by science/engineering/business interests.</p>
<p>AvgAsian, I understand your disappointment. I am sure you will do well wherever you decide to go. I wish you all the best.</p>
<p>^ Thanks! UW was my safety, and it was somewhat demoralizing to get rejected from a program with relatively average selectivity.</p>
<p>Son was accepted to UW but denied Honors program. However, he just found out he was accepted to Georgia Tech’s honors program. Good luck to everyone!</p>
<p>gl92,</p>
<p>This is nice information for me, thanks! Do you know what her major is? I’ll be visiting WWU early April. I’m having trouble finding positive/negative comments on this school. However, my communications with this school have been outstanding. They just sent me an e-mail regarding scholarships. I’m hoping to get the WUE scholarship (I’m OOS).</p>
<p>I worry that Bellingham won’t have research, internship opportunities for a biology major. Also, I’m wondering how reputable their program is. I want to go to grad school, hopefully UW. Oh I just remembered something… someone told me that UW grad school admits primarily WA residents?? Is this true?</p>
<p>Any comments? Thanks and good luck to you!! I still love UW!!!
(I’ll stick to the topic from now on.)</p>
<p>To those who have received a letter accepting or denying them already, when did you apply? I applied for the Jan 15 deadline and am anxiously awaiting a letter from honors! Hopefully will come soon??</p>
<p>Probably won’t get in, but would like to know regardless!</p>
<p>limabean22,</p>
<p>I applied around 11/27, they got the letter of recommendation 1/8, I received “denied” letter 3/6. I’m now okay about rejected. Do you see those stats of those rejected??
My stats where okay, but it seems like they accepted those with brilliant essays. I tried my best on my essays but I don’t think they were brilliant.</p>
<p>Good Luck to you. If you’re in state, count yourself lucky to have UW. The UC’s are going through ugly, ugly times. Makes me nervous, if I end up in one.</p>
<p>Here is info on [late</a> admission](<a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/apply/lateadm/]late”>Interdisciplinary Honors Admissions | University of Washington Honors Program) to honors.</p>
<p>lol I’m from california so I’m well aware of that!!! not good. I just got admitted to UW last week (ish) and am waiting on honors decision, with fingers crossed. (but based on the above, I most likely won’t get in. My essays were not very good).</p>
<p>If I WERE to get in to honors, UW would be my top top choice above any UC at this point! Only problem, of course, is the cost OOS :(</p>
<p>Sorry, I didn’t realize the late admission link was given in another thread.</p>
<p>I applied on December 1st, got accepted on Jan 29th, and I am still waiting for a letter from the Honors Program!</p>
<p>When is the last day to hear from UW Honors? Does anyone know the exact date?</p>
<p>April 15th, 2010 - UW Honors Notification Deadline</p>
<p>I was rejected from Honors. But that is okay - I have a lot of other great colleges to choose from. </p>
<p>3.78uw, 4.64w
34 ACT
Unique extracurriculars
I dont think I spent enough time on my essays. That seems to be the most important factor when applying for UW Honors. </p>
<p>Good luck to all who have not heard yet!</p>

<p>Hopefully this gives the rest of you some more hope, considering they accepted me with a 2090 and only 1 AP class prior to my senior year. However, I think I had very strong essays and a combination of extracurriculars that you don’t see very often.</p>
<p>i got into UW honors, and honestly, I wasn’t that impressed with what was offered. No guarantee at all for departmental honors, a requirement to take a certain number of honors credits yet no guarantees in getting however many classes you need because they fill up quickly… </p>
<p>i don’t think im going to do it… im sure it’s a high quality program, but it was just a little to “program” and not enough “college”. i was hoping for some decent perks…</p>
<p>acceptance letter received yesterday! i had low scores (30) and no really remarkable extracurriculars so i was very surprised. i think it was my letter of rec and my essays that helped me.</p>
<p>congrats, duckduckgoose! 
Do you think you’ll be headed to UW then?</p>
<p>thank you!! i’ve always been hesitant about uw because i live very close to it, but this makes me a lot more interested. i’m still waiting to hear from my top choices/financial aid offers from them, but uw is definitely a consideration now</p>
<p>Just got my rejection letter. I had a 3.95 and a 34 on my ACT… good recs and a thought-out essay. Not sure why, but I’ll probably go to UW anyway.</p>
