Thanks for sharing!

Already applied to UW a while ago, just need to do the essay section of the Foster App now, just been kind of putting it off because of the April 5th deadline.

I just submitted my application! Learnt that it will take about a month or so before the wsa scores and review of application is confirmed.

What did you guys think of the WSA?

I felt I should have given more time to develop my persuasive essay. Guess that’s what most people face hen taking the wsa. I’m hoping my position task will help bring up my overall score tho. How about you???

I didn’t think the WSA was too bad. I would have liked more time though haha. I didn’t study at all and just went in there and winged it. I had already applied to UW Seattle and UW Bothell for Winter Quarter, and got accepted to both. I had decided to just go to UW Bothell Business School for convenience before I submitted the Foster App for Winter. I decided after orientation at Bothell not to go there and to apply to Foster for Fall quarter.

Just hoping to get in so I don’t have to wait longer to figure out what to do with school.

Stats Are:

Cum GPA - 3.84
Pre-App - 3.96
WSA - 4.25

With stats like those, you’re pretty much in.

Looks promising! I have got a pretty strong gpa, my biggest concern is only the wsa. So my fingers are crossed on that :x Gulio, are you using your wsa score from Winter to apply for Fall?

Yeah I’m using my WSA score that I got from testing in October. They are valid for two years I think they said when I asked if I could use it for Fall.

Awesome. I wish it won’t be long till I receive my WSA score :confused: Please do let me know if you hear from Foster!(:

The WSA scores are valid for 2 admission periods, not 2 years.

Well, I have an email from a UW business adviser saying two years. So I’ll go ahead and trust them.

Yeah. Under “key information,” it says “scores are valid for two years.” http://www.tacoma.uw.edu/node/22372 Yu

Yeah, I just did a little searching. The admissions office must have miss informed me. either way, you’re WSA score would have been valid. Guhlio, it will be interesting the take classes with you! Very excited to meet you.

Haha yes, but we have to get in first. I don’t want to get my hopes up too high.

Did anyone’s unofficial transcript load to MyUW yet?

No not yet, I check everyday. Looking at past years threads, most would be loaded around May 8-15.

@Guhlio Darn … Post something on here if you do!
My friend, who’s a transfer student, applied for Autumn and I think I’m more anxious for him to get in than he is! lol When I was admitted last year, my transcript loaded around the 3rd and then I got my letter around the 6th or 7th. I used to check my account all the time too lol It seems like transcripts have been loading earlier and earlier over these last three years. Who knows, maybe they’ll load even sooner ?

Not to freak anyone out, but the pattern has been that once UW students hear back, transfer students hear back within 4-5 days. That was definitely the case for me last year. I could have sworn I overheard a girl in Paccar Hall say, “I got in!” and then her friend hugged her… That was about 6 days ago. She could have been talking about something else though … I’ll ask around. I wish the best for everyone. Transcripts didn’t load for me until mid afternoon (around 3pm). Hope this helps somewhat. lol
