<p>Submitted Jan. 1 at around 9:00 p.m. Status was finally updated today from "awaiting an initial review" to "All materials required to review your application to the UW Seattle have been received. Your application has been advanced to the full review process, and will remain in this status until decisions become available. When a decision is made, you will be notified via postal mail." Seemed to have skipped "awaiting review," unless that comes afterwards. Ah well. It's only the first week of January. Relax. :P</p>
<p>Don't take it personally! You'll drive yourself crazy. Keep in mind that applications that were put into the database by Monday, 12/3, were most likely submitted in time for the priority scholarship deadline of 12/1. UW probably has a lot of those to evaluate before moving on to the applications completed after the priority deadline, which is clearly your situation. </p>
<p>FWIW, my son submitted his app on 11/30, but his SAT scores were sent to UW in March 2007. The app was put into the system on 12/3 and it still took quite some time before it went to full review - I think around 12/20. He still hasn't gotten a decision, but he did get the postcard today acknowledging receipt of his honors application.</p>
<p>Okay, now that Bubbletea has blown my theory about the scholarship deadline apps being put into review first, I am fresh out of ideas :) But it's still way too early to worry.</p>
<p>i submitted mine before the priority deadline, by the way</p>
<p>literally on 12/1...at around 5 pm</p>
<p>^^ well, that really blows my theory then! Truly, the only thing that sounds at all odd about your situation is that you can't find the date your app was updated. Other than that, too early to stress about it.</p>
<p>lol im not stressed about it...im just aggitated about it...if that makes any sense. a lot of people who sent just a day ahead of me already have their acceptances...and a lotof people who sent on the day i sent it at least are past the initial review stage. and oh god, what happened with bubbletea doesnt even make sense! theres no way that status changed in 3 days...</p>
<p>Oh my Goodness. Sorry for the confusion. >< Hahaha...I'm a total spaz; I meant to write Dec. 1, not January 1. That would be super amazing to get full review in three days. Yikes. But still, no reason to worry. If anything, it's probably (careless) people like me who will ultimately end up being rejected...I probably spelled my name wrong or something. xP I've been too scared to look at my app since submission. Sorrysorrysorry.</p>
<p>My S's MyUW page was changed as of this afternoon showing that his review was completed on January 3. He followed the instructions given in this and other forums to look at transcripts and discovered that he does have a student number and shows up in the College of Engineering! A friend of his sent his application after my S and was accepted the week after Christmas. I think the most likely scenario is that they took all the applications they received up through November 30th, batched them together and pulled them at random.</p>
<p>Congrats DVU!</p>
<p>Haha now I can't wait for my status to change to full review! :D</p>
<p>lol thats fine bubbletea. nevertheless...i sent my app in 4 hours before you sent yours in and im not even close to where you are in the app process. i just dont understand it.</p>
<p>DVU - That's great! I remember you said UW is your son's first choice, so congrats to him. I don't remember seeing instructions other than "check the transcript link," but is there more to it than that? Is this on the "students" tab for the myUW page?</p>
<p>today i got a yellow postcard from UW Honors that my app is ready to review for them. but on myuw it still says my app is yet to have an initial review! i think im just a case of uw not updating my status. ive got to be in review by now.</p>
<p>Does this mean that no one has looked at this since Dec. 11th?</p>
<p>We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made. </p>
<p>(The status of your application to the UW Seattle was last updated on December 11, 2007. )</p>
<p>Lovesong, my D has been in the same state since Dec. 11th as well. Every day she checks to see if there has been any change. My only speculation is that they are waiting to see what applications come in prior to the Jan. 15th deadline, and at that point they will go back and see what to do with you. Not sure when that will be, but hopefully soon!</p>
<p>thank you---good luck to your D too!</p>
