<p>Accepted? Denied? Get your letter? Post it here:</p>

<p>No letter :confused: if it doesn’t come today we have to wait two more days! Argh!</p>

<p>Just checked…no letter. Pretty sure that means rejection haha</p>

<p>They never guaranteed that acceptances will be mailed first instead of in a batch with waitlist/rejections. Don’t worry about it unless people are starting to get mail from Honors.</p>

<p>Good point, thanks : )</p>

<p>Nothing yet!</p>

<p>Is the acceptance rate really 8%? anyone know typical stats?</p>

<p>Honors FAQ Here: [UW</a> Honors - Application FAQ](<a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/apply/freshman/faq/]UW”>Application FAQ | University of Washington Honors Program)</p>

<p>It says:</p>

<p>Incoming Freshmen, 2010
Total applications: 2,691
Admitted to Honors: 709
Enrolled in UW Honors: 220
Average Highschool GPA: 3.92
Average SAT: 2070
Average ACT: 31</p>

<p>Thanks! So more like a 28% acceptance.</p>

<p>Closer to that. If I recall correctly, the ‘admitted’ number includes waitlisted students who eventually were accepted, but I might be wrong on that.</p>

<p>Anyone receive anything yet?</p>

<p>Mail came today, nothing in it.</p>

<p>Hey guys, I’m a peer mentor for the Honors program. We got an email from the advisors today, and I’d like to quote one part:</p>

<p>“All UW decision letters were mailed March 15-30, while Honors admissions decisions were mailed beginning April 1 (we’re almost done mailing – all letters will be mailed by the end of this week)”</p>

<p>This means that not all letters have been sent out yet. Good luck!</p>

<p>Will honors decisions be apparent n the MYUW section anywhere? The unofficial transcript loaded about a week prior to the mail arriving. Thanks</p>

<p>Uhh, I’m not sure when it showed up on my unofficial transcript, but there’s a little blurb here (I also copied what was written above and below it):</p>

<p>HONORS PROGRAM </p>

<p>ETHNICITY/RACE: ASIAN </p>

<p>I’m not sure when this showed up on my unoff transcript though. I’m pretty sure I didn’t see it until later, so I wouldn’t count this as an indicator that you were rejected/waitlisted if your unofficial transcript does not say anything.</p>

<p>I don’t have that :confused:
Mine says Special Program: UNIV EXT because I’m in a UW French class at my high school, but that’s it :/</p>

<p>Again, I don’t know when it showed up on my unofficial transcript. I’m pretty sure it was during the summer though. The only thing to do now is wait. :confused: I know you guys have waited for a REALLY long time (I got my Honors letter in January… last year.), just a few more days left!</p>

<p>If anyone gets a letter from the honors program, please let us know. Also, do they typically send out rejection letters first?</p>

<p>I would think it would show up on the unofficial transcript after you accept being in Honors, not before, as many opt out even if admitted.</p>

<p>@niksabs - Last year, they sent out letters in batches from January to April, with acceptances in the first two batches, then a mix. I don’t know how it is this year. We’ll just have to see.</p>

<p>@tessey64 - Makes sense!</p>
