Rolling Admission

<p>IS UW Rolling?</p>

<p>rolling beer kegs down the hill? Yup!</p>

<p>Funny dude, funny, but seriously does UW have rolling admission, and if so, when do applicants hear back from them, 2 weeks, 3 weeks?</p>

<p>Yes, UW uses rolling. The yes-no decision is made fairly quickly (in 1-3 weeks) once the application is completed. Sometime, a decision is "postponed" (different from waitlisted) until the end of the rolling period (Feb 1).</p>

<p>i already got in, i heard 3 days after my file was complete</p>

<p>Well, on the other side of that statement, it's been over 5 weeks for me and I haven't heard anything. Maybe that's not such a good sign haha, but oh well. They say it can take up to six weeks for a decision to be made...so I'm hoping within the next few days? It's kind of a weird position to be in. I'm not sure whether or not I should read too much into it.</p>

<p>But three days...wow. That is one fast turnaround. Congrats on your admission!</p>
