Autumn 2016 Transfer- Big Envelope/ Unofficial Transcript

But the thing is, it used to say “User is not found.” Also, I believe that the unofficial transcript is loaded before they say they’ve made a decision as well, because it sometimes loads while your application status remains unchanged. I could be wrong. I just want them to hurry up haha

Similar comments with that was in my unofficial transcript last week.
But it was just maintenance or down.
Nothing changed after that
I hope that sign means I am accepted because I had same comments in the libraries page, but…

My friend got accepted into UW bothell jun 1, major CE. Two days after I got accepted into UWB, major EE. Same friend he just messaged me he got accepted into UW Seattle, same major.
I see that a lot of the people that used to comment in this thread have disappeared. For example the person who started this thread, Ginger. That person no longer comments on here. Ginger probably got rejected or accepted and no longer needs to comment. I hope you didn’t put all your eggs in one basket, and have backup plans. I am still waiting to hear from UW Seattle.

That is not a good news for me…
After EE or Cs major start to notify, I think general admission or other major are already done…
I hope this year will be different…

@elpikador yeah, she/he got accepted already. So, did your friend (who was accepted at UW) apply for computer engineering? Do you know any of his/her stats?

I just talked to admissions again today, and they said that a decision has been made for general admissions, they are just waiting on the decision from the CS department. But when I asked how long it takes for that part, she again just said “it will be by the end of the month”, which we already knew. So not much more info, but thought I’d share anyway.

@CompSci18 Does it mean that all applicants for general admission has been made? Or your decision for general admission has been made?
Did you called to office or went to office?
Because I think they try to not say anything via call.

@seesee12 why? so will you go to office and ask them directly?

STILL WAITING! I am international transfer student and I have not received any letter(UW Seattle). To be honest, it is almost impossible to make a student visa, to find a room, and to get things ready within 2 months.

@crystalleexx No. I just wonder they answer or not applicant’s question via calling

Hey guys, I went to the admission office, they told me that they are waiting to hear from the department and they have already made their decisions.

@aabdin03 so did you ask when will the letter be sent ?

I just counted number of people who are accepted in this thread, and it is only 8.
In 2015 thread it was 28 (June 10 - July 7)
In 2014 thread it was 32 (June 6 - July 7)
Why the number are so different?
It’s not because of late envelope.
Most of them I counted, said about unofficial transcript not letter or envelope.
Does UW decrease acceptance slot for transfer, because of masive number of freshmen?
Or
College confidential is not popular forum anymore?

@crystalleexx Yes I asked him, but he only said I may get the department decision earlier than the admission letter. He advised me to meet with the department to double check my application status.

Decided to finally post. Transfer, instate, AA-DTA - still waiting. I think the level of intensity of some posters made me forum shy but I am taking one for the team and posting. You are all great regardless of the UW’s decision. BUT STILL, I want to know right now.

@liveyolife what is your major?

I applied to the business school, and saw a few people from this thread get accepted already. I haven’t heard anything and I’m thinking that’s not a good sign

Hi all, should we assume that we have got admissions but we are still waiting for the Department for those of You who applied to CS department otherwise why should we be waiting if the admissions has already made the decision to reject letter? I mean, (I wanted to meet with CS advisor but today they are holding an event) ,why would the department review application of an applicant who the admissions rejected? Just trying to come up with theories.

@seesee12 That’s really weird. Admitted applicants in this thread are only 8 people, and it is quarter of the previous year? I heard 2016 freshman admission got record number of applicants. Perhaps UW really decreases slot for transfer students. If it is true, Winter transfer admission will be in same situation . I planed to reaply for winter transfer also, but I am in hopeless situation now…

has any pre-engineering hear back from general admissions?

@aabdin03 @seesee12 I called, and although they cannot tell you WHAT the decision is, they can tell you whether one has been made on your application. SO when I called, they said that general has made a decision, and now they are waiting on the department. The thing is, as a transfer student, if you did not make it into your major department, you do not get admission to the university either.

At that point, they will look at your back-up major and see if you can get into that one. If not, then you do not get general admission at all. I talked to two advisors in person at the UW back in January/February and both of them said this.

UW guidelines is to have a major declared by the time you have 120 credits, so if they admit you as pre-major, then it is because they believe you are competitive for next quarter. (for example, you were just missing a pre-req, or something small) Else, you do not go to UW AT ALL. You cannot take general classes and not have a major declared by the time you are at 120 credits.

The person I talked to last time said that general adm checks if you have all of the things required for general admission (foreign language, english proficiency, CADR, etc.) and IF you have all of the basic requirements, they decide on general admission. If you get into general, you get sent to the department (CS in my case) and then they review it for the major. So at this point, I am past general, just waiting on comp sci.
