Autumn 2016 Transfer- Big Envelope/ Unofficial Transcript

@cheskaj I think it will be sometime in July because the notification period is June-July.

I want decision right now T.T
I am gonna take different classes in summer quarter depends on decision
Summer quarter begins next week
I don’t know what to do…

Anyone got letter or unofficial transcript loaded?

@seesee12 Nope

Anyone else an engineering major? I heard that they don’t get their acceptance/rejection letter until late July. Can anyone confirm this?

This year notification is too late than before right?
I confused because some applicants got decision already.
But they are all general admission applicants
What about Foster, biology, chem, etc?
Are majority of applicants general admission?
I don’t think so, because usually applicants apply for major also
Am I wrong?

I don’t even know if I applied to a major or general admission. I’m thinking I applied to a major because on the application link it shows the major I’m interested in. I’m so confused and just want to know if I’m in or out.

I wish that the admissions department would post decisions on the weekends as well as during the week. I’m starting to not like weekends because of this!

Hey @seesee12 I applied for general admission but I put biology as my first option major. The reason I can’t apply to the major and to the school at the same time is because the rule is I have to take some classes at UW before I can apply to the major. Idk if this rule only apply for biology major or all majors but all I know is I can’t get in to the school and to the major at the same time (this is silly). Anyway, I got my transcript uploaded last Tuesday and got my letter on Friday. On my transcript, my status shows I’m a junior and pre-science major.

@uwwa2016 There was a question that ask apply major directly or not in application. I checked “apply major directly”
If applicants cannot apply school and major same time, that question should not be there.
I discussed with my counselor about these things.
Even if applicants apply major directly, some of them cannot get into the major directly.
Some of them get into pre-major, and some of them get into major directly.
In 2015 threads, there are many people who got into major directly.

@seesee12 idk I got in as pre-science major. My friend also got in as pre-science major even though she applied directly to the major. You can go to the UW website and search for biology major admission. The first requirement for Biology major is be a matriculated student at the UW Seattle campus and in good academic standing. I seriously don’t know how this work.

Another person on here and I were hypothesizing that the deadline for me to send in my new student fee/acceptance of offer of admission would be the date of the start of the second wave. That date is July 7th.

I just got an email back from uwhelp:
“It is possible to get into UW without getting into the major that you applied for.”
Just in case anyone was curious, if you applied to a major on your transfer application, there is still a chance you can get in just as general admission instead.

How many admissions waves do they do?

Congrats to all who got in! I applied for Informatics, application was due on June 15th for the program so I don’t hear back until late July… Anyone else from a CC trying to apply to Info?

Very anxious… I want to get in UW so bad but they have me waiting for so long. Even if it’s a rejection letter I want it to come now so I can plan for the future instead of waiting in front of my laptop refreshing unofficial transcript every 5 hours. Still the dreadful internal 500 message I should be planning for the worst now

@albertzchen I completely agree with you. At this point, attending UW is starting to feel like an even more distant dream than it was during the application process.

@grey007 I feel the same way. When first applied everyone I knew was saying that I would get in and now that the notification process is happening it’s feeling like I’m not. However it’s not over till the letter arrives.

In 2015 the first wave was in second week, and the next wave was fourth week. This year the first wave was third week, so I think next wave will be fifth week. But I am not sure. Maybe the next wave can be this week.

@seesee12 that might be possible. Since no one got it either ytd or today. How many waves did they have last year

How do these “waves” work? Because I have yet to see people post that they got the big envelope. They have only said that their unofficial transcript loaded.
