I’ve been waiting too! & I’m trying to keep my cool, and just be patient because I know I’ll hear back eventually. I just think there is no need for all this chaos especially towards the admissions staff that is trying to help everyone on this thread. I’ve been shaking my head at some of the comments on here and it’s really not necessary when you’ll know soon enough.
@Bigchoices2018, I doubt it - two totally separate departments however you may find out grants or awards based on merit.
@julietjuju3 Like what comments – be specific please.
@WolfBlood, I’ll say it. Yours for one was unnecessary.
@bigchoices2018 FA packages should be sent within 2 weeks of your admissions notification.
I think it’s fine to both appreciate that UW admissions staff is active on this site and be frustrated about a range of dates.
- @UWadmissionstaff has been very helpful and it’s great that UW is active on this blog (can’t imagine how many rat holes we’d go down without help).
- Given that decisions go out in waves, it would make more sense to have a specific start date for release for everyone’s sake. Many schools receive significantly more applications and release decisions on one, pre-published day.
Taking a deep breath is good advice because the anxiety levels will increase once the results start rolling out over an 8 to 9 day period.
@WolfBlood If you want specific then for starters, your post #515 I believe was unnecessary. There are a few that was too far back for me to find the number that I shook my head at, but yours was just the closest I could find.
@Keylime1974 Thanks for your opinion. It’s good to know that you’re reading my posts.
@julietjuju3 Gosh, what happened to letting people express how they feel? No need to shame anyone…
I liked post #515, and I think other people liked it too. Here it is again for anyone who has not seen it. Give it a like if you agree:
Dear UW,
Honestly, I have been spending the last 6 months distracting myself from your college by applying to a bunch of random wack schools that I have no intention of stepping foot on, just waiting for March 1 to come so that you would restore balance to the world. Then March 1 comes and you say psych.
But it does not end there. Then I am told to wait until March 5, and I think to myself, “Hey, it’s just five days nothing I can’t handle”, BUT YOU LIED. Oops, you did it again.
Now I am stuck checking myUW hourly because there is no specifc date set, and I’m sure others are experiencing the same thing. Come on UW, why do y’all have to screw with a bunch of teenagers emotions? You already do that to your wannabe CS majors.
Sincerely,
A disturbed applicant
Not to mention they sent email 2 weeks ago that it was ALMOST time and purposefully insinuated they would start on the 1st. They know when they are going to start releasing and are not being transparent with those on this site-period.
@UWadmissionstaff I called the admissions staff, ensuring the number was correct, and they said admissions decisions have already started being released. Anything else to add on this?
Maybe they were talking about athletes and applicants with special cases like that, who were probably notified in the earlier days of the admission window.
Soon
@WolfBlood Not shaming anyone, just think your post was unnecessary. Saying They lied when they never did. I think the only one screwing with emotions is our own selves because we keep checking MYUW constantly and not getting the answers we are expecting to hear from the admissions staff. They are doing their best and the time frame is between March 1st and the 15th, you will hear back sometime in that time frame.
Sooo, you’re blaming the people on this thread for checking myUW instead of the office of admissions that’s holding it back from everyone?
Sound kind of twisted, no? :-/
She(UW) is just playing hard to get.
^^ True
apparently someone at my school (I live in FL) has received their rejection letter… not too confident in this claim BUT just putting it out there!! :-/
@kyrasj did you get that from the person who was rejected or is it a rumor… don’t play with us girl
@jkirsy the girl herself!!! i literally asked to see her rejection letter but she said she deleted it lmao…
