<p>i was accepted to the school of arts & sciences, but i Just receiveed a letter in the mail saying that I've been accepted to the BUSINESS SCHOOL as a FRAP! im so excited. I just want to let you guys know that I had a 1700's SATs, 3.4 GPA, and pretty average extracuriiculars.. so dont give up!</p>
<p>snickerz7, do you mind sharing if you're an underrepresented minority or not? Thankx</p>
<p>i am 100% chinese. I'm pretty sure thats not considered minority in seattle.. haha
however, i do have a fairly stable foundation in business. my family have always been business people, I was a member of FBLA, took a business course every year in high school, etc.</p>
<p>congratulations on becoming a frappuccino.</p>
<p>Nothing surprises me anymore about UW. Just went around and around with UW about their FRAP crap. The process is an enigma wrapped within an enigma. No clear cut criteria - other than "holistic" by a mysterious board held by admissions office (not the business school).</p>
<p>Lucky for us our D has been accepted at another major univ business school (ranked higher than UW) - with a scholarship.</p>
<p>We were waiting to see UW's offer. No scholarship, and not even FRAP to business school. Makes our decision a whole lot easier - FRAP was just too much of a mystery for us. </p>
<p>Questions to UW business school about process to transfer from Arts and Sciences into the Business school after freshmen or sophmore year left us with even more uncertainty. If this was Wharton I could understand - but UW?</p>
<p>The process as explained to me was that the Business school only reviews files of business school applicants provided by UW general admissions office to determine FRAP. The process admissions uses to select those files could not be explained by admissions.</p>
<p>D has 1800+ SAT; 3.9 GPA; DECA officer; 3 year varsity letter (2 sports)</p>
<p>Good enough for one of best international business programs in the country but not for UWs FRAP.</p>
<p>Not complaining - D wanted the other school anyway, it was her Mom who was somewhat disappointed (wanted to keep D closer to home than the East Coast).</p>
<p>But FRAP rhymes with crap in-so-far as an open process, worse even that college admissions in general.</p>

<p>UW is ranked #12 in the nation for its international busines program... really doesnt sound that bad to me.</p>
<p>snikerz7,</p>
<p>Did you happen to see where the Moore School of Business (U. of S.C.) ranked in international business in your source (Princeton Review, or U.S. News and World Report?).</p>
<p>Rankings aside, I still happen to believe the the UW Business School is not as open as it could be due to a restrictive (and non-transparent) FRAP process.</p>
<p>I'll state again, if this was, say, Wharton, I could understand a more restrictive selection process, but not UW. </p>
<p>This is not sour grapes, just commenting on UW's FRAP process. D is happy with her USC offer - UW was just a "stalking horse" safety anyway.</p>
<p>This might be a stupid question but wha'ts a FRAP? I just got accepted into UW's business major today and I'm still debating on whether I should go or not.</p>
<p>What exactly do UW people look for when accepting students into the FRAP program?</p>
<p>AFA,
I looked up profiles of UW and South Carolina business schools. For your D's stats USC was a much "safer" safety than UW. 96% admitted to Moore students( 2006 numbers) were freshmen. As opposed to 9% at UW. It seems that there are two different approaches to admissions in these schools.</p>
<p>how hard is it to get in after?</p>
<p>The UW Business School is very competitive to get into after matriculation if you're not a FRAP. You can apply EAG (Early Admissions Group) during spring of your freshman year or UAG (regular admissions) anytime after. The average combined GPA (UW and other college credit) for admitted EAG students was 3.65. You have plenty of opportunities to apply though. It gets easier as you go along.</p>
