Anyone? :frowning:

3

Probably not too many people familiar with your academic preparation, but you seem well qualified.

What martial arts did/do you study?

4

I studied Wu Shu. Now, I practice Muai Thai.

5

How about UW Bothell? Is it similar to UW Seattle? I also sent an application to UW Bothell a few weeks ago.

6

It’s a branch campus. Didn’t exist a few years ago.

7

I see. How about proof of high school graduation? In Indonesia, in order to graduate from high school, we are required to attend National Examination (known as “Ujian Nasional” in Indonesian). Does UW require its scores or does it only require high school diploma?

Here is what the U of W website says;

*Upload a scanned copy of your final exam certificate or diploma that shows all coursework completed and grades received. Students educated in the British system or other educational systems in which grades are based on comprehensive national exams — GCSE, O-Level, SPM, etc. — must submit a copy of the official exam certificate by the published application deadline. *

Hmm, our National Exam will take place in April 2015. Thus, it hasn’t started yet. Is this ok?

10

Looks like that would be required only if your grades were based on it.

As far as the documents, haven’t you already completed the application?

Your online portal must have instructions about documents that you couldn’t have possibly yet received, such as your diploma.

11

I have. I finished my application several weeks ago. You’re right about the online portal :smiley: UW Bothell’s portal did notify me about a physical transcript.

I’m only concerned with possible time disparities.

They won’t make you transmit something that you can’t possibly have yet. I can’t speak for the U of W, but in any similar case they make a decision by whatever deadline and make it contingent on successful receipt of the documentation in question.
