@Huskybound They’re actually not self-named. They’ve been confirmed as an actual UW admissions staff member by the moderators of College Confidential. So, though the information we’ve received is vague, that’s what the UW admissions team is able to give us. It’s a lot better than nothing. We’d all be freaking out so badly if we had no information
I’m predicting sometime around 10 tomorrow is when they send them out. We’ll see though.
I’ll bet you’re correct. Gives them all day to finalize everything in the admissions office & transfer it to IT. by shutting it down, they can load everything and double & triple check before making it live. There have been errors at other universities that didn’t get caught until after upsetting some people, so this seems reasonable.
Exactly! I am glad we finally have some idea of what their plan might be.
@UWadmissionstaff Do you if rejections and waitlists are sent out first since they are by email? Or are all the decisions sent out at random times? Let me know! Thanks for the updates!
Decisions will probably be posted sometime after 10am EST tomorrow, because there’s a ‘planned student system maintenance’ between 6-10am tomorrow. FYI, ‘some data may not be current or may be unavailable’ and this will prevent display of content. Hopefully that’s an update to decisions!
PST* this school uses PST not EST.
@godawgs101 It’s random
@UWadmissionstaff is the time where majority of applicants are notified still looking like this weekend or has there been any update on the estimated window?
MODERATOR’S NOTE
The user is genuine; hence the College Rep tag under the name.
Don’t hype up the student maintenance. It’s a regular thing they do at the end of a quarter. It’s always on the Saturday after the last week of the quarter.
Update: thank you @Labainoriu !
From what I have heard, UW recalculates your GPA to an unweighted 4.0 scale
A similar thing happened with Emerson as is happening with UW – everyone expected decisions to come on a Thursday or Friday and then they came out Saturday morning. So I’m not saying it’ll happen but it wouldn’t be that weird if the decisions came out tomorrow morning
it says “Content for those applying to the UW will be unavailable. Please check back after 10:00 a.m. PDT to view your content.” I think this means our decisions will be updated. Also, @UWadmissionstaff said by the end of the week which is TOMORROW. Yet I also think what @hyang949 is saying could also be a reason to not get your hopes up.
@toomuchanxiety @pleaseUW7777 If you go to Twitter, and check under the latest posts for #newhuskies2018, you will find two users claiming that decisions are going to start rolling soon.
@Palaksh , “SOON” is what we are hearing for last 10 days :(…
I think the decisions will be out tomorrow. The portal is scheduled for a maintenance tomorrow morning so keep your hopes up!
Good luck sleeping tonight:
“Planned Student System Maintenance March 10, 6:00-10:00 a.m. Planned maintenance of the student information system will prevent display of content on MyUW from 6:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. PDT on Saturday, March 10th. Some data may not be current or may be unavailable. Content for those applying to the UW will be unavailable. Please check back after 10:00 a.m. PDT to view your content.”
Just got admitted!
The portal updated!!!
