Prospective University of Washington, Winter 2016 transfers?

Mine just said congrats as well! I checked mine after reading both of yours. Ugh!! Foster please hurry already! @fosterhopeful I know you were asking @bear44 but I want to jump in because mine says business school as my college and my major says business administration and I don’t know if that means we got into fosters or what.

@baseball112 I don’t wanna celebrate before we actually get in BUT from what I hear, if you have a student number on your unofficial transcript and it says “business school” as your college…that pretty much means we’re in. My major says business administration too and specialized in information systems…sooo don’t celebrate yet but stay very hopeful

@Akeating so just in case let’s say for example I ask for an extension and if I still have not heard from UW I could intent to enroll at my back up university and withdraw whenever I hear from UW?

@jp1993 Yes. I would double check with the adviser at your current school first though! This is just what mine has told me.

@Akeating thanks :slight_smile: I’ll call them tomorrow !
What is/are your back up school(s)
?

So I clicked on the link titled “Transfer Application: winter quarter 2015” and it says “Congratulations, you’ve been accepted to UW Seattle Campus”. That’s another trick if you don’t trust the Transcript. Another question, do UW Admissions and Foster talk to one another? Is there a possibility I could be accepted to UW and denied for Foster?

Any out of state transfers?

@decoytag me ! Out of state and from another four year :frowning: my chances are hella small but we will see:)

@ijustwanaknow yes for sure.

Am I understanding correctly that the decisions have started to be mailed out? Bit too early, according to my adviser. Any tricks to know if accepted, before the mail arrives?

@NineBe…yes for sure they talk or yes for sure transfers have been accepted to UW and denied Foster?

@ijustwanaknow sorry, yes to you can be accepted to UW and denied to Foster

@ijustwanaknow so from my understanding of past threads, you can definitely get accepted into UW campus but denied from Fosters.

I finally caved in and called the admissions for Foster and thought I would share what they told me. I asked when Foster transfer students would be notified and all she was able to tell me was they get notified not long after they get accepted to the UW campus. I asked about how long, a week or two? And she just said not very long after. I didn’t bother to ask if rejection emails were also with that batch of acceptance emails because she seemed short over the phone. Hope this somewhat helps

@JP1993 This is my second time applying. I just really want to go to UW. I am from CA but I have living in Washington for 2 years now and the still consider me an out of state transfer. The guy that I talked to on the phone from the admissions office basically told me to re-apply for this semester and have my ducks in a row to appeal as soon as possible.

The admission office also hinted that it was almost impossible to get into UW unless you are from Washington which makes me want to go even more!

@baseball112 yeah calling the admissions office is really not all that helpful.

@ninebe Some Foster applicants on this thread have had transcripts load. That’s pretty much all the action that has occurred thus far. Judging from past winter transfer threads, there should be more decisions made available on myUW in the next week or so.

Fortunately I’m really busy with school and my job this week so I haven’t had time to obsess over UW too much… Still nervous though :((

@snailshellz Yeah i heard about the transcripts load, that’s why I am freaking out lol. My adviser assured me that it is more like the end of November rather than now that us, regular undergrad transfers, will hear from them. needless to say, until then i will be taking anti anxiety meds

Just got my official email from Foster! What a relief.

For those concerned with the transcript trick…mine never loaded. So as far as I’m concerned, you shouldn’t be worried if it doesn’t load for you. Mine still says UW Tacoma. Good luck to everybody else waiting.

I too got an acceptance letter for Foster, very much a relief!

Stats are as follows:
Admissions Factor Weight Applicants Admitted Your Factors
Combined GPA 40% 3.44 3.61 2.72
Pre-application GPA 25% 3.53 3.72 3.08
WSA Score 35% 3.94 4.29 4.5

I know my combined GPA is awful but I had many failed attempts at school in past years and the past two years have really just put my everything into school and have maintained above a 3.0. I am very thankful UW took my past attempts into consideration.

Hope everyone gets the results they were looking for!

edit: nevermind lol

Got denied by Foster (sigh
I feel very down right now…
but I want to apply next quarter.

Here my stat
Admissions Factor Weight Applicants Admitted Your Factors
Combined GPA 40% 3.44 3.61 3.88
Pre-application GPA 25% 3.53 3.72 3.9
WSA Score 35% 3.94 4.29 2.5

really want to know how to practice WSA

I don’t know what to do next… I don’t know whether I can still get in UW first cuz I didn’t receive letter.
Is there anyone who can still get in UW and apply Foster later?
