Does anyone know any information about applying for the Purple and Gold Scholarship? Or even any scholarships that UW has to offer?
“U.S. [OOS] students admitted as freshmen are automatically considered for the Purple & Gold four-year scholarship.”

Here are a few other scholarships:

@UWfromCA , which ones are based on Merit only? Is the 'Honors scholarship" the only one?
Purple and Gold Scholarship:
“Selection, by the Office of Admissions, is predominately academic, but also incorporates activities, achievements, leadership and socio-economic factors. The scholarship, which is not need-based, is renewable for four years as long as the recipient maintains good academic standing.”
Additional scholarships:
“The University also offers scholarship programs awarded through the UW Honors Program, Washington NASA Space Grant and many of our academic departments for freshmen (including non-resident students). Some of these scholarships are not need-based and do not require filing the FAFSA.”

Hi I wanted to know if anybody got their uw net I’d.
Thx
Nope, still haven’t heard anything about UW portal.
This got to be a national record – application deadline 11/15, and no portal info until late-Jan. Are they always this late? Or is something wrong this year?
Haven’t heard anything too until now
@bogeyorpar when I first submitted they emailed me saying I would get my net id in December then in the first week of December I got a mail saying due to our application surge we will send ur net id before mid-Jan and today is already Jan 16th. So I’m kinda of worried.
As long as nobody has gotten the portal, nothing to worry about – except, maybe, how much did the applications surge and how much will the admission rate drop.
UW doesn’t release decisions until mid to late March, correct?
Hey yall, I was looking for some advice regarding my application… so I put my gpa on a 4.0 scale when i actually meant to put it on a 5.0. I also put that i took 0 science lab courses in high school on the coursework overview but i did put them on my profile coursework section. I was wondering if I should email first and see if they can help or should I just call the office of admissions to explain myself better?
@labegg yes their filling period is from March 1st to March 15th. So you can a decision anytime in this bracket.
Hi there, I was wondering if I could have some insight on whether or not I have a decent chance of getting in to UW.
I am an in-state student at a fairly competitive high school. I want to eventually get into Fosters to study accounting. My stats are listed below.
3.49 UW GPA
33 ACT (Superscored)
I have taken 6 semesters of honors classes and five APs; Microeconomics, Stats, and currently in Calculus AB, Gov, and Comp Sci A.
My current classes are Physics, Foods 1, AP Government, AP Calculus AB, AP Computer Science A, and Senior Writing.
I feel like both my diversity essay and main essay are quiet strong. My main selling point was that I had taken Latin for four years, two of which I studied every Saturday during the school year and summer. in the additional information I included that I have received multiple concussions for contact sports which made focusing and remembering class material very difficult. Other extracurricular achievements I have are:
Studying Latin abroad in Italy for an immersion credit
Receiving Gold and Silver awards on the National Latin Exam
State qualifier for DECA
Leader of Entrepreneur Club
Won a programming competition in the Summer
Wrote a research paper with my Grandma who is a professor
Won an award for my AP Statistics project at my school.
Thanks for your input!
Still no portal? 10 days to the end of January …
I just checked the website and now it says we’ll get emails for the NetID at the end of this month…
I suppose the ID/portal access is not particularly necessary until closer to the decision dates in March.
@uwhopeful2022 , which web site did you check?
@labegg, very true. If it’s like any other portal, after checking reception of application materials, it has no use whatsoever until the day the decision comes out.
Can anyone chance me?
