west side. That is cool you’re taking calc! I decided to take statistics instead because calc at my community college is crazy hard! Do you like it?
Did any international students receive any decisions?
@UWadmissionstaff , can we expect portal update today?
@Yay1234awesome calc at any school is crazy hard trust me
@Yay1234awesome I took stats too, and I loved it. I’ve taken AP calc before so I might survive but it’s the worst. I personally love running start and I’m so glad I did it! I hope UW thinks its cool too lmao
I’ve been lurking on this thread for like 2 months and finally made an account. I applied as an English major, intending to double major in Linguistics
@Palaksh i dont think they have updated the portal for anyone yet… porbaly few instate kids got the postal mail.
Visual Communication Design because I like graphic designing, passionate in the arts department, but I don’t see many people going for it…
I applied for CS and Math. Did Running Start with 75 credits at two community colleges. I got a couple years of Calc done, plus other classes for pre-reqs, like English and Engineering Physics.
@ashlaurel my brother at UW did a dual major in astronomy and physics, if I’m not mistaken, that’s basically the same thing and they are both for the most part walk-ins. There was something about Astrophysics being competitive or it just wasn’t a major so a dual major was just easier for him. I would not take my word on it though, that’s just from what I remember him saying about it.
@pepper0983 astrophysics isn’t a major at UW but it’s a graduate program that I’ll likely get into at other schools. I know astronomy is a small program at UW thats why I was curious if anyone else knew anything. It’s cool your brother did it! Do you mind me asking if he enjoyed it? Like the professors etc
@Yay1234awesome Yes! Me too! On track to have my AA too.
@teddy21 I applied for visual communications too!
I applied for CS only. 36 ACT, 1580 SAT 4.0UW, took several college level CS courses, internships, etc. Hopefully that’s enough to get in CS DA. Essays were decent, in-state, so we’ll see!
@ashlaurel yeah he really does love it, still going at the moment, last minuet changed to a triple major so he needs one extra quarter to finish it all out, but he’s had great story’s about most of his Astro professors.
@JMoney5 Oh yay! It’s good to know that I’m not alone. I don’t know how hard it is to get in but let’s hope for the best!
How many people here applied to the Honors Program? I did.
@UWadmissionstaff so as you said, it takes a while to mail thousands of admissions packets out, but can we still expect portals to start being updated tomorrow/Friday?
Wow @hyang949, those are amazing stats. I dream of a CS DA, but my stats aren’t as impressive, with only 35 ACT, 1530 SAT, 3.9 UW (APCS 5 and Math Subject Test 800). I did lots of clubs, tutored AP Calc, and assisted special needs students in younger grades. I don’t think my essay was very good.
@superstar542 Most applicant’s portals will most likely update before you receive a mailing.
