<p>UW parent here who has watched the last several admission cycles at UW. With your unweighted GPA and SAT scores, you sound like a solid out of state admission. You have solid ECs as well, so as long as your essays are not crazy, you should be in good shape. </p>
<p>As difficult as it is, there is not much else to do but wait. UW does admissions on a rolling basis, but not that does not mean first-in first out. You will get an answer by the stated date. From what I have seen – and this is just my impression – the strong stats kids, both in and out of state – tend to be admitted earlier in the cycle. Then the middle group gets assessed, with a lot of postponements. </p>
<p>Good luck, and hang in there.</p>
<p>I’d be shocked if you’re not admitted. Good luck, I hope you hear in the affirmative tonight!</p>
<p>Ditto- should get in unless your essays or recommendations show problems.</p>
<p>UW does NOT have early action. Rolling admissions where they now offer an answer by an earlier date for those who got their complete application in by an early date. That answer can be yes, no, postponed. There is still more than a week for students to apply and receive equal consideration. Some students will get a quick answer if they are obvious admits or rejects. Most have to wait and see how they compare to the thousands with similar stats.</p>
