General Comments: I’m very disappointed. A bit mad.</p>
<p>I was rejected. Not gonna fill out that thing everybody fills out though, because there’s so much stuff I can’t fill out, since I have a different school system. I can’t see the most obvious reason for why I was rejected, so I am a bit surprised. But it wasn’t like a big shock either. Maybe my essays were bad. I dunno… I sucks, but life goes on. Congratulations to all new Huskies! :)</p>

Why you think you were accepted/waitlisted/denied: I expected to get in. Probably because of my poor grade trend and lack of work exp.
General Comments: Appeal in process</p>
<p>After seeing some of the people that have been getting in in this thread, I’m pretty shocked, too. Once I got my ND acceptance, I was 100% certain that I would be receiving a gold envelope from UW. I guess it’s only proof that UW isn’t kidding when they say they use a holistic approach to admissions. I thought I had the essays and ECs to go along with my grades/test scores. Apparently I didn’t.</p>
<p>And wow Downsmash, finally someone with similar stats to me that didn’t get in.</p>
