***Official UW Class of 2021 Acceptance Thread***

@sarah2499 Are you going to fill out the form? Also, do you know if you have to go to UWashington if you fill out the form and supposedly, you are accepted from the waitlist?

Waitlisted too :confused:
Does anyone know a rough estimate of how many people get off the waitlist?

Waitlisted. Yee haw!

@halleyscomet This is what the email said.

“We cannot assure any student on the waitlist of admission. The number of students admitted from the waitlist varies greatly from year to year: In 2016, 735 of the 2326 students on the waitlist were offered admission, compared to 215 of the 1150 students in 2015. Therefore, I strongly advise you to confirm your intention to enroll at another college or university by May 1 to ensure that you will have an enrollment option this fall.”

@Sandy12345 I am going to fill out the form because I do not believe you have to accept

Alright thanks so much! @sarah2499

Haha wait nvm. Actually read the email. 735 of the 2326 in 2016 and 215 of the 1150 in 2015 got off the waitlist

@Carlynn2017 i think if you have the money to pay for a quarter, you should. you could either retake classes to get your grades up or take more rigorous courses (that will either go toward your intended major or ones that you believe will put you at some sort of advantage).
