How do you know if you were accepted directly into your major vs. misc acceptance?

@Globehead only business administration, computer science, and engineering have freshman direct programs. If you applied to one of these three programs and were accepted direct to that major, your assigned major in the portal will say either business administration, computer science, or engineering undeclared. If you were not it will say pre-major (ie pre-sciences, etc.) None of the other majors have freshman direct programs so technically they are “miscellaneous” acceptance.

@Globehead

Here are a couple of pages that describe the pathways to various majors (most majors do not directly admit freshmen, which allows students to take prerequisites and consider different majors before committing to any):

(Click “undergraduate program” after selecting a particular major)

@globalhead they have two line one says " Applied for : "… and other line say admitted to “Pre Science”

@tm8647 I got waitlisted too for OOS (34 ACT but 3.4 uw gpa killed me). But I heard that appealing your decision gives you a better shot of admission.

If you were denied DA to Business, will they email me if they change the decision? On the website it said “The following majors participate in Direct to Major, however, notify students of their admission to the major after the offer of admission is made.”

Congrats to everyone who got in!

My D accepted, but didn’t mention anything about into to what major. She applied for international relation. Does this mean it’s a general admission? ACT 32, SAT 1500, 7 APs, Concertmaster for Youth orchestra,All state choir and orchestra member

Do they release financial aid status along with your admission acceptance or does that come later? Has anybody received any merit-based scholarship yet (particularly the purple or gold scholarship for out of state students)? If so, where is the financial aid status located?

got in to poly sci
out of state

3.92 UW

does anyone know what acceptance rate is for out of state

@gijung I have the same question as you. The link shared indicates biochemistry will notify regarding the major and if directly admitted some time after the initial acceptance. However, it doesn’t say how long after. I hope your friend is right about it being 2 weeks.

@yeehawlolo 49.1% as of last year’s admissions cycle

@neurochic I have the same question. Can you let me know if you learn the answer as to how and when we find out about honors and purple and gold scholarship?

Accepted!

Not sure about purple and gold, but I got an email that said I was being considered for non-need based awards.

Honors decisions are supposed to come out between March 19 and April 13 (or whatever it says on the website) @collegemom111111 @neurochic
