Question about "Unofficial Transcript" trick

<p>This question is for those who are accepted (or rejected), and found out using the unofficial transcript trick.</p>

<p>Well, my status finally changed to the "We have reviewed your application" stage today. However, my unofficial transcript didn't load. </p>

<p>Does it load right when you see the status change? Or do you have to wait a few more hours/days?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>I'm sorry, but you have probably been rejected</p>

<p>okay, thanks.</p>

<p>I'd wait for an actual letter before you jump to conclusions.</p>

<p>ah, fine. I'm not too confident however.</p>

<p>do they send an email out saying that a decision was made?</p>

<p>no they don't send out an email, (at least not for me)</p>

<p>Ya I'm sorry, but I think you've been rejected. It's not 100% but I'm like 90% sure.</p>

<p>Should this be a warning sign (I received this via email)?:</p>

<p>"Thank you for applying to the University of Washington - Seattle. We received a record number of international freshman applications this year and wanted to let you know that we are still reviewing and processing many applications. Over the next two to three weeks, we will complete our review of all applications and will notify you in writing of the admission decision. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience and for your interest in the University of Washington."</p>

<p>I'm assuming this because not a lot of admitted applicants had received emails. That "We received a record number..." is throwing me off.</p>

<p>I also got that email a while ago... but I don't think it's anything of a warning sign exactly.</p>

<p>And btw, I never got it (unofficial transcript) to load this morning. I think I've been rejected, pretty sure. For anyone's information, I'm also an international student living in Canada.</p>

<p>Anybody still waiting who DID NOT receive an email? My son is....no status change since 11/29/07.</p>

<p>For over months now...this is what is says:
"We have received all materials required to review your application. Your application will remain in this status until decisions are finalized. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made."</p>

<p>Only international students should ever receive such an email.</p>

<p>Thank you, Sher.</p>

<p>my status changed to "we have reviewed your application and we will send you by postal mail when a decision have been made" in april 1. but my unofficial grades does not load. I'm guessing they've rejected me. I have decent SAT (i think, for uw standards) 1310/1600 and 1810/2400 but awful grades. I'm an international student. So i don't really understand the admission process detail. So, should i just wait or should i email the status of my application? It's been so long.</p>

<p>The notification letter should come about a week after the final status change.</p>

<p>I guess we're both rejected... :|</p>

<p>I'm an international student as well, and UW was one of my top choices, but there are only so many spots, and add to that the number of international applicants this year.</p>

<p>yeah Im hoping that its at least a waitlist.</p>

<p>where is the "unofficial transcript" thingy? I have been looking everywhere for it cause everybody keeps talking about it but I cant seem to find it...</p>

<p>@rtheretnow: log on to the myuw site, and up at the top is a student tab, and after you go in, u'll see it.</p>

My unofficial transcript says student personal services. Does anybody know what that means?

@SUZMIAUN It just means that they haven’t updated your portal yet. It’s not a bad/good sign it’s just sort of “it’s resting state.”
