Delayed Acceptance Notification

Does anyone know if it is true that UW Seattle is delaying acceptance notification because they received four times as many applicants as expected? That is what I have been hearing at school, and if that is true, then UW will be much harder to get admitted to than it was last year.

That’s definitely not what I’ve been hearing. They received a 16% increase in apps from last year, not 4x as many. Judging from their website decisions should still come out as usual (hopefully).

TheCheese is correct. This Seattle Times article has the data (and a cool interactive graph!):
