interesting. UW says they superscore but just checked unofficial transcript online and states ACT is 33… however, superscore was 34. ??? Anyone else check this?
how do you know you got a direct admit to foster?
@takeboys5 if you were direct admitted to Foster, then your portal (and presumably letter once you receive it) indicates your major such as below:
You requested the following major(s): Business Administration, Communication
•Your assigned major: Business Administration
Otherwise it will say something like pre-business or similar (not sure the exact wording.
Accepted
In State
29 ACT
3.5 GPA UW (low Sophomore year, the rest is 3.7+)
Decent extracurriculars (mostly work)
Good essay
@takeboys5 and more re: Direct Admission to majors - this is per post earlier this weekend (Saturday) from UWadmissionsstaff with more information for everyone:
- Majors: If your assigned major is Computer Science, Business Administration, or Engineering - Undeclared; Congratulations! You were admitted directly into those programs. If you applied for any other Direct to Major programs, you will be assigned pre-major and direct entry will be determined in 1-2 weeks as the website states. For all others, pre-major will be assigned but you are not stuck in “social sciences” if you really want to pursue “arts”. It’s more or less a fancy word for undeclared. I encourage you to read: http://admit.washington.edu/apply/freshman/admission-to-majors/
Has anyone else still not received any update?
@christinareanna Still no update here.
@christinarawrr @GeometryBoy same here
USPS Informed Delivery shows admittance letter arriving today in Seattle suburbs.
@christinarawrr@GeometryBoy@ashlaurel same
No update here - in state
No update - international
My theory:
1st wave: acceptances
2nd wave: waitlist
3rd wave: rejection??
@4DagoBwl4o0 I don’t think so. Lots of people were rejected and waitlisted in the first wave. I think they just have a big volume of people to work through. Finger’s crossed!
We are 2 miles from UW and informed delivery shows mail from the Office of Admissions!
D was accepted. Applied to Business and accepted as pre major Arts and Science? Do some people get admitted as pre major business?
You requested the following major(s): Business Administration, Business Administration
Your assigned major: Pre Major (Arts & Sciences)
@Meryna123 - See UWAdmissionStaff Post #1522. This means your D was not accepted Direct Admit into Business.
@meryna123 pre-anything just means you arent accepted into a major yet, you have the freedom to go towards any major in the future and no, intended business majors will get premajor if not accepted.
How can you track your acceptance mail?
@llhoneyforest - Go to USPS website and from drop down menu select Manage and Track and then select Informed Delivery. This will email you images of mail being delivered that day. Not all mail gets scanned - it can’t be too big and no junk mail.
