<p>No matter how great your stats are a “horrendous discipline record” will IMMEDIATELY put you in the “no thank you pile”. Sorry, but you wanted to know; character counts more than stats. Sorry.</p>
<p>^how far does UW go back on discipline records? and where did you hear that lol? i know someone who got in this year who got a MIP during his junior year (and he’s not in many AP classes at all)</p>
<p>Oh boy I hope not. I’m a genuine trouble maker.</p>
<p>Well my discipline record was achieved my freshman year, but after that i’m almost a blank slate haha. Who knows.</p>
<p>holdencaulfield1…Noticing your “username” - Are you living or have lived, the character from J.D. Salinger’s “Catcher in the Rye”? Can’t help but see a relationship with your story. 
or :-(. Good luck wherever you go for your education.</p>
<p>haha well that’d be tragic if holden’s life and mine were TOO related! but no i just love catcher in the rye. it’s one of those “i’ve read this fourteen times and carry it just about everywhere i go” kind of books for me. i don’t see the majority of society as being “phony”, and unlike holden, for some reason, my school has yet to expel me. ha :)</p>
<p>D: does this mean ive been rejected: my site says:
“We have reviewed your application. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made.”<br>
but there have been NO transcript loading thingy everyones been talking about!!! aigoo…</p>

<p>No, everybody gets that letter at some point during the admissions process. I got three since I applied to all three UWs.</p>
<p>@everybody</p>
<p>Well, I got the UW rejection letter a week or so ago. Not really surprising. UW is such a gigantic bureaucracy that somebody that doesn’t fit the mold is more convenient to discarded than make room for.</p>
<p>But… I did also get an acceptance from Seattle U! Hooray! Plus a scholarship! Yippee!</p>
<p>holdencaulfield, perhaps you should apply there if they have rolling admission? Since your parents have a house near UW, it wouldn’t be all that far from Seattle U, since it’s on Capitol Hill and their both on one bus line. (I’m a Seattleite too.) I also was hoping to stay local so I applied to SPU, SU, and UW. Glad I don’t have to resort of SPU now that SU wants me! I’m really not into their uber-christianyness.</p>
<p>P. S. Speaking of Holden Caulfield, I hated The Catcher in the Rye. I thought it was pretentious drivel. lol</p>
<p>k my friend got into UW with a 3.3-3.2 GPA, 1800 SAT, no AP/IB/honors classes, and one of the easiest schedules offered at my school. How? two words: boy scouts. Crapload of community service will get you in. Oh and church volunteering. </p>
<p>Want to hear something even crazier? Last year there was this kid who said he didn’t have the SAT scores for Bellevue College. His GPA was below 3.0, Regularly skipped class, slept in class, no sports, did drugs, beer, no AP/honors/IB. Only thing was that he went to church and did some community service (probably when he was doing time behind the bars, yeah he went to jail actually). Got into UW and is currently a student.</p>
<p>This crap happens. You just have to deal with it. Life isn’t fair.</p>
<p>WOWWWW… i cannot believe u didnt get in… my grades were much much worse than urs… wow im a CA resident. i have 3.3 av gpa, 1980 sat, no Ap or honors until senior yr, and even so I only have one AP, a little community service, no eligible sports, jv or varsity. but i actually disagree with u, i think my essays made the difference.</p>
<p>i’m a little happy that UW admissions are crazy. if i got accepted into UW and became a student, I wouldnt want to be around all 3.8+ GPA people who didn’t do anything in HS besides study. i shouldnt be talking though because I have a weak GPA, but i do have a point</p>
<p>^^ lol do you really think UW is full of mostly those kinds of people? What about all the recruited athletes? (not saying athletes can’t have good grades, but grades aren’t as important for recruitment as for admission) And about anyone with a 3.8 not doing anything besides studying in HS… I do know a few people like that, but for the most part, it IS possible to have a social life and get good grades. I know personally I’d go insane if it weren’t for the people I’m with in and outside of school.</p>
<p>nevermind. I just checked up with the drug guy who I said got into UW. Apparently he got kicked out of the school. Can’t say I’m surprised.</p>
<p>I have spent the past month in near constant communication with the head of admissions, because my HS counselor thought my rejection letter was a mistake.
Well, apparently they forgot to look at the fact I am, by all rights, a transfer student (graduating HS with an AA degree/over 100 comm. college credits) who is forced to apply as a freshman.</p>
<p>The way I appealed didn’t even follow protocol because the admissions office wanted me to send it in ASAP so they could decide quickly. They haven’t contacted me yet. I have a feeling I’ll receive a letter that says I didn’t follow protocol and here is a second rejection. Then I’ll get to call and yell at them some more.</p>
<p>But I know plenty of students attending UW. They’re kids who took all AP courses or athletes.
It’s a damn shame it’s the only school I can afford that I applied to.</p>
