Fall 2017 Transfer Thread

I also applied to Social Work at UWT. I haven’t heard from the school, and the social work board starts looking at applications end of this month. I’m going insane.

@seahawks.12 yeah I applied, still waiting to hear back.

I also applied for SW but I haven’t heard back yet either.

Anyone else apply to CSE?

Anyone from summer found out yet?

Its been two weeks since they sent out the first wave. Hopefully they’ll send out another one soon…

I got into the University of Maryland but I’m really hoping that I’d get in UW… Since I’m an international applicant and I only have enough resources to pay the acceptance fee for one university, do you think I’ll have a chance at persuading them to at least tell me when I’ll be getting my decision?

Persuading may be the wrong word. I don’t think it works like that, tragically. Plus, they’d only give you an estimate most likely of when you’ll hear back.

Is there anyone who got into UW as a communication major and also as an international student ???

Anyone heard anything more?? This wait is killing me!! I’ve been checking twitter to see if anyone has mentioned getting accepted but nothing new… we have to be a week, maybe two away from hearing something??

I still haven’t heard from admissions :frowning:
but I did check MyUW just now, and I have an update. It says this: “Your application to the UW Tacoma has been reviewed. All applicants are informed of admission decisions by mail when results of the review process become available”.
It was updated last night. I don’t know what this means. I tried clicking on my “unofficial UW transcript” link and nothing came up. I don’t think I got in, but I don’t know if they made a decision yet or not.

The UW’s new huskies page shares posts from all networks and it’s been looking pretty dead on there lately. I know several people who found out about two weeks ago but since then nothing (all were business or chem/biochem majors). From past threads on here it looks like the majority heard in back in mid-June so I guess the waiting game continues.

@ntsbmw
What are your stats?

If you go to……UWT transfer admissions > FAQS > guaranteed admissions
“Students who are Washington state residents and have completed an approved transfer degree at a Washington state community college with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75 are guaranteed admission to UW Tacoma. Please note that this guarantees admission to the university and not to a specific academic program or major. Students must still submit an application by the application deadline to be admitted.”

I applied to UWT in March as a transfer student and in late April I got an email telling me I had been admitted and my acceptance letter came in the mail a few days after that. I only applied for general admission at UWT so that’s probably why I heard back earlier.

@gold2112

My stats are complicated because I was doing Pre-nursing five years ago and didn’t do so well. I have since changed my major and re-evaluated what I want to do. I went back Highline to retake quite of few of the classes I did poor in and currently have a 3.4 GPA. So I’m not sure how UW will interpret my previous credits and grades from an out of state school. That’s what my concern is.

Ultimately, I think they consider you an in-state if you went to highline, which will really help you. If they see a grade improvement trend, that may be what benefits you because they see it as “maturing” or something along those lines.

Has anyone tried to call the office of admissions for more information about when we can expect to hear about summer transfers to seattle? Last time I called they said we could expect to hear anytime from May to June and Period 2 registration started today!!! What if we don’t get into the classes we need to take?

Good Luck @ntsbmw With your stats and with what godawgs1043 said I think you still have a really good chance. Hopefully you will hear back soon.

@gold2112 and @godawgs1043
Thanks guys! Good luck to you as well!! Keep us updated!

you still haven’t heard about summer?! that’s insane. Have you called??

@godawgs1043 I didn’t call but @Hajibaji1 did and they didn’t say much about when we’ll hear back ://

The sad part is the class I want to take is now full!!

That’s just crazy to me that it’s taking so long for you guys. I’m dying for the fall. That’s a rough wait. Sorry about the class!! I hope you hear back soon!!
