<p>Three of my friends who applied as a transfer for fall 2012 (like me) have already been rejected. I was under the impression that decisions are not sent until June. Is it different for rejection notifications? Has anyone else heard anything about this?</p>
<p>really? I’m suprised
what majors are they applying? can you share their stats?</p>
<p>thank you!</p>
<p>Maybe because they require applicants to scan their transcripts rather than mailing starting this year, this speeds up their evalutions</p>
<p>I hope the decisions will be out soon</p>
<p>Mmm, this is very strange. Did they get the actual letters of rejection or just letters asking them to provide needed information? Did they apply as transfers or freshmen (<40 credits)? </p>
<p>I don’t think they should be sending out rejection letters first and that early.</p>
<p>This is the most I can share is from two of the three. Both are pretty similar.
Freshmen class of 2015
Enrolled at another 4 year uni
3.3-3.6 gpas
Both graduated high school with honors and were enrolled in honor courses
1600-1800 SATs if I remember correctly</p>
<p>Yes they were letters of rejection and not letters asking for required information. They applied as transfers.</p>
<p>Ok, I understand that they applied as freshmen? If so, it’s reasonable that they got their letters of rejection earlier.</p>
<p>No they applied as transfer students and are part of the class of 2015 not 2016. They are currently freshmen finishing up their first year of college just as I am.</p>
<p>What I’m saying is that if they had fewer than 45 credits (I suppose they did have less than that, considering they are all freshmen now), they were considered as freshmen by the university, even though they applied as transfers.</p>
<p>Ah I see thank you. Now it is just psyching me out if they send those rejections to those “Freshmen” type applications earlier since I fall under that category!</p>
<p>I thought if they had 45 credits by the time they would start they were considered transfer, not 45 credits by the time they applied.</p>
<p>Perhaps I’m mistaken. Seatac, is there a link you know of to the specific info? I know people who were going to go to other schools (Seattle U, Seattle Pacific) for a year before trying to go back to UW.</p>
<p>I was under the same impression after talking to admission counselor. I went to Seattle Pacific University for the fall quarter of my freshmen year and after talking to the admission counselor I found out that it was much better to transfer from a community college than another four year university.</p>
<p>Here is some info: [Our</a> Goals & Priorities | University of Washington](<a href=“http://admit.washington.edu/Admission/Transfer/GoalsPriorities]Our”>http://admit.washington.edu/Admission/Transfer/GoalsPriorities)</p>
<p>It says:</p>
<p>“The University also admits applicants who have completed fewer than 40 quarter credits (slightly less than one year of college) at the time of application. However, admission for these applicants is competitive and limited.”</p>
<p>I assume they are talking about freshmen here. </p>
<p>On the application they are also always asking you about the number of credits completed at the time of application.</p>
<p>So, it looks like transfers are treated differently, depending on the number of credits they have completed. The highest priority is given to those with associates from a community college, then 4 years, and finally to those with less than 40 credits.</p>
<p>I think people with more than 40 but less than 90 still get higher priority than those from a 4-year.</p>
<p>But yeah, I’d misread it. Thanks Seatac.</p>
