For those wondering, the acceptance rate for UW is generally 45-50%. Last year they had 45,911 applications, and accepted 22,351. The number enrolled in the freshman class was 7,141. This info is on UW’s Office of Admissions web site under Freshmen by the Numbers. Colleges accept far more people than actually end up attending because people apply to many schools. They have their yield rate down to a science.

Public health does not have a freshman direct admission pathway. Your “pre-public health” status indicates that UW Admissions and the School of Public Health have put you on track to take the prerequisite courses and request admission to the various public health majors (BA or BS) through early admission or upper division admission, as more fully described on these pages:

Congratulations on your admission, and good luck!
Waitlisted OOS (SF, CA)
UW 3.65 W3.85
only took 3 AP’s total
SAT 1260
strong essays and appealing demographics were pulls for me which I think probably threw me into the waitlist pool rather than rejection. when I visited campus my freshman year the admissions officer said they strongly favor your GPA over your SAT/ACT scores and essays can really help you make up for lower stats. I’m hearing that they rarely admit waitlist students which is disappointing because if accepted I would attend UW without a doubt 
oof waitlisted for design ooc?
weighted 3.81
ACT: 33
Anyone know if there’s a UW groupchat?
