<p>I don’t think stats from previous years are helpful in predicting how many people are going to be selected from wait-list for either general admission or admission to honors program. My gut feeling is that chances of getting in to honors program from wait-list is a lot higher than getting general admission from wait-list. I think this is an opportunity for you to submit additional material and tell them why you belong there. Wish you good luck!</p>
<p>For the people accepted into the UW Honors Program Do you guys live in the state of Washington?</p>
<p>and did anyone also get a wait list letter? should i consider that a complete rejection?</p>
<p>@swtdecember - I know many in state people who got into honors, but I know of some OOS who got in, too. </p>
<p>A few classmates of mine have received wait list letters.</p>
<p>Applied Jan 15, haven’t received a letter yet. I live in CA. Should I expect one soon?</p>
<p>@limabean22 - Probably. They’ve already handed out waitlists and rejection letters. However, I know someone who got in last friday. That means that if you haven’t gotten a letter yet, they’re probably still considering you for acceptance. :)</p>
<p>still waiting 
Literally have been waiting at the mailbox for the past couple of days. If I do get into the honors, UW will be my first choice by far!</p>
<p>limabean, I totally know how you feel. mailman probably thinks im stalking him >.< lol
but I actually called the UW Honors and asked for my status.
After I told her my name, there was a long pause. She said, “Oh, we’re still reading your application. So it will take another week or so.”</p>
<p>:(</p>
<p>haha about the mailman. Mine too probably!</p>
<p>Good luck! I hope we both find out soon!</p>
<p>I have a 4.0, no life, ALL extra curricular and DIDNT GET IN…■■■</p>
<p>Wow, Goldenglaze100. Mind if I ask what your test score stats were? What extra curriculars did you do? What were your essays on?</p>
<p>Goldenglaze- I"m really sorry, That sucks Lol, and this means I probably won’t get in either. oh well. i just wish i would get the dang letter… it still hasn’t come yet!</p>
<p>Are you a washington resident or out of state?</p>
<p>Yeah, Goldenglaze100 I’m also curious about your essay. If you don’t mind pasting it on here, I would love to see what a 4.0’s composition looks like.</p>
<p>No pun intended</p>
<p>I really don’t feel comfortable posting my essay on here.
As for test scores, 2350 on SAT. solid if i may say so.
Subject tests: Bio: 740 Math II: 770
Extracurriculars include:
pres. of honor society
student senator
volunteer at hospital
8 APs (the hard ones)
robotics
tutor at my local daycare/volunteer there</p>
<p>once again ■■■…</p>
<p>oh and im washington resident…</p>
<p>yes fyl. i got into uw honors with a 3.0. my sat scores arn’t amazing either.</p>
<p>Goldenglaze, wow. that is absolutely crazy. I can not believe you didn’t get in, your stats are awesome! And quite a bit better than mine… looks like i can look forward to a rejection as well :(</p>
<p>Where else have you applied besides UW?</p>
<p>limabean, I wouldn’t count on rejection just yet- uw honors admissions are really unpredictable. The average accepted SAT is about 300 points lower than goldenglaze’s; I think once you have decent grades/scores/ECs there’s no way to tell without seeing the essays and knowing what the admissions office had in mind. (and btw goldenglaze, I agree it’s probably best not to post essays on an internet forum)</p>
<p>@goldenglaze - Essays on a forum is indeed iffy, but could you give a one sentence summary about them? For example, “One essay was about my career choice.”</p>
<p>Well it was in the style of a newspaper article and was about pursuing my career in journalism…basically it was super legit</p>
<p>Oh and some other schools I applied to and have been accepted are Berkeley (just today!), Claremont Mckenna College and NYU (also today!) *** UW…</p>
