Hey guys. Hope this info helps. For transfers applying for a major right away, general admissions waits to make a decision on them until after the department makes theirs. So if you’re accepted into the department, you’re accepted into UW. If you are rejected and didn’t have a 2nd major, or got rejected from that as well, you’ll be rejected. If you’re rejected from your 1st major but your 2nd is an open major then general admissions makes the decision. Some majors already have heard back. Engineering has for example. I got rejected from mechanical so I’m still waiting to hear back from general admissions. My friends all go accepted into engineering and they’ve already accepted the offer and put the deposit. Based on this, my guess is we’ll hear back after all the departments send their decisions.
There are any CS majors here who got their decisions?
@boyomimi Hey! how did you look up your Bothell transcript, I only see one link to viewofficial transcript at myUw but it doesnt specify if its for UWB or UWS.
@yazanmaini Hi, I checked unofficial transcript page and the application status page that UW Bothell sent me with username and pin number by email.
Does anyone know, then, if decisions are sent out earlier for those who don’t need to wait on departmental admissions?
@LeonorC Really is arbitrary. But they get sent out from May and as late as July (based on 2018)
Any news for business transfer students? any unofficial transcripts that loaded?
@LeonorC I just called the admissions office, the lady I was talking to basically said that the whole May 10 thing is false and departments vary in when they send their admissions so everyone really just has to wait until May to June. She said that there isn’t a chance that anyone would be hearing back sooner just because they got accepted into a major
@wiltonsutardi no changes on my unofficial transcript yet
@sammysammy21 we’ll just have to be patient then! hopefully there will be some changes soon.
@beatrees Thanks for the info. Also, getting into a major isn’t a guarantee for getting into UW(sorry). Our advisor in the chem department told me this. On the bright side, the departments could write a letter of recommendation for those who got into their majors on the off chance that one doesnt get accepted to UW.
anyone hear back today? :o i’ve heard back from UWB and UWT just waiting for the last one :’( getting super nervous as the day goes by
@NoahFence I heard about my info from one of the admissions officers at the UW. I made an appointment with them and they told me that they don’t make a decision on your acceptance until they hear back from your major and that they just respect whatever decision the department made.
@jorgegzuniga I’m not always optimistic, but an admission officer is definitely more reliable than a department advisor. Also, our advisor said that since she doesn’t know the criteria used by UW office of admissions. Definitely good news for those who got accepted into their majors!
week two coming up… good luck guys!
Good luck to everyone
Anyone heard back who’s Political Science major? Or are there any fellow international transfer students like me?
This might just be my computer/internet glitching, but when I tried checking my application status it says:
“Admissions Application Status - Unavailable. The Application Status service is not available at this time. Please try again during normal operating hours”
Anybody else see this? I wonder if they’re coming out soon. Or my account is glitching. Lol
@lizzzzzz Happens very often actually. If you’re still awake around 3am, then you’ll see that a lot.
Hey guys! Is there any unofficial transcript updates?
no news thus far @intntntrnsfstd
