Transfers - UW Status

<p>I only applied at UW- at my dads advice. What most of the other people have been doing is paying the $200 deposit- that way you have a security school. Worst case scenario is you are out of $200- but not without a school.</p>

<p>That’s probably what I’ll end up doing too . . . but it just kills me because I don’t have money to burn. (EFC $0.) Well . . . if I have to, I have to I guess. Don’t want to be stuck without a college in the fall . . . </p>

<p>On a different note, I sent in my Winter 2010 grades from my CC (it’s on a quarter system) and myUW updated within three days saying they got it. Still no change on my actual admission status, but I was glad to see they at least have the new grades in my folder or whatnot.</p>

<p>Really? I sent my Winter 2010 grades in a while ago and they still haven’t showed up on MyUW. Hmm…I’ll just keep waiting!</p>

<p>Do they need our Winter grades? I don’t remember reading that they wanted updated grades…</p>

<p>No I don’t think they NEED them. But I did really well last quarter and just wanted to make sure they knew.</p>

<p>Hey guys! I have two questions.</p>

<p>So I applied RIGHT on the deadline and my status is still “awaiting an initial review”. First question: Is anyone else’s status still like this? I’m worried, because I know my HS transcript is a day or two late. I am coming from out of state (Arizona State University, ugh), with a little over 60 completed credits. I have a 3.51 GPA as of the end of fall 2009. </p>

<p>Second question, please don’t kill me…Do any of you guys know if UW is need-blind? I’m not applying for any financial aid whatsoever, and as ******y as it sounds I am kind of hoping that helps, just because I’m nervous about my essays :(</p>

<p>i applied a few days before the Feb. deadline and my status still says “awaiting an initial review”, so i wouldn’t freak out. I think that’s pretty normal at this point. Just a guess—UW probably just started looking at Transfer apps. because they had to complete frosh apps first. the waiting sucks!</p>

<p>I applied right on the deadline too “awaiting an initial review” …</p>

<p>In regards to the need-blind they pay no attention to whether or not you need financial assistance when assessing your application. Last year when I applied as a freshmen I asked the same thing. That was their response.</p>

<p>Same here. Applied right before the deadline and still “awaiting initial…”. When do transfer students start to hear back from them??</p>

<p>If we’re lucky (which we won’t be) late-may. But more likely June-July.</p>

<p>I’m also an instate transfer, form shoreline community college
i have a 3.97 gpa, just over 110 credits (mostly science classes), but i’m not confident at all with my essay : (</p>

<p>Plus i also applied right before the deadline, i think the 14th of February, so hopefully they won’t hold that against me! My status is also “awaiting initial review…”</p>

<p>I didn’t apply anywhere else so hopefully that won’t come back to haunt me! They just loaded my transcripts like a week and a half ago even though I had them sent in early January. What I’m most worried about is classes filling up before we have a chance to register for them since we will have last priority the first quarter as new students.</p>

<p>One person said that their hs transcript was a day or two late, unless it was postmarked before the due date, I don’t think they make any other exceptions : /</p>

<p>Dude you are totally fine – 110 transferable credits with a 3.97?? Don’t even worry you’ll be fine. Did you apply for summer or fall? I’m also a CC hopeful transfer… 3.95 gpa with like 33 credits transferring for hopefully the summer…</p>

<p>Yay another summer transfer!!! Hoping to hear back in early may. Dini- me and you have almost the same stats- 3.95 gpa- 112 credits (mostly science)- and an AAUCT. Its also the only school I applied for!</p>

<p>I’m actually applying for the fall because I’m going to take my last organic chemistry class in the summer at my community college.</p>

<p>What major is everyone going into?</p>

<p>summer applicant and my major is sociology … hopefully i get in !</p>

<p>yet another ‘awaiting an initial review here’. intl applicant for the autumn quarter.</p>

<p>my friend from UW asked the admissions office and they said they’d only start mailing out intl transfer decisions in june/july :(</p>

<p>Has anyone’s application status changed from “awaiting an initial review” to “we have received all materials required to review your application” recently?</p>

<p>My transcript just change to “We have reviewed your application. We will inform you by postal mail when a decision is made.” My unofficial transcript loaded too. :)</p>

<p>Applied for summer quarter, btw.</p>

<p>Ahhhh! No way! When did you apply??? My heart is racing- let the anxiety begin!!!</p>
