I love the UW APP

<p>I don't know about you guys but I felt like the UW application truly got to know us more as people instead of focusing on scores and GPA. The essays got us to explore ourselves at a deeper level. I have applied to many schools with commonapp applications and i don't feel like any of them got to know me nearly as well as UW will. I applied to honors also and although the prompts were difficult they made you think about different perspectives. I know this is a rant but i just felt like sharing and wonder if anyone else felt the same. Now we get to wait until April to find out if we were accepted :( </p>

<p>PS. Thank all of CCers who answered my questions, i truly appreciate it!</p>

<p>haha USC’s application was sooo EASY! Its strange how much their application changed now that its on common app. They used to have you write 3 essays and do a bunch of short answers. Now its just a paragraph. I’m scared of how many applications they are going to get, they had around 36,000 last year and are predicting 20%+ increase.</p>
