Agreed. But this is from the email sent out on 2/16: "It’s been a long wait, but decisions are coming!
The freshman admission notification period is March 1–15. This year, we anticipate most decisions will be available the second week of March."

Yes, I read that two weeks ago. Obviously, the best thing for those waiting is to be given as specific of a date as possible but just as obviously it’s apparently a difficult thing to do given that so many schools choose not to give firm dates. In UW’s case to give a start date of the window seems odd unless some decisions come out today… Still, plenty of time in the day to see what happens but based on last year it does not look likely that any decisions come out on the “start” date of the window.
In past years, there have been posts (not necessarily on CC) about presidential scholarship (in-state, local area) admits being notified around early March (first week). Sometimes the UW admissions reps visit the HS of scholarship students to deliver the news to the student with balloons and UW swag. Rest of admissions decisions tend to roll out later (around Mar 10th).

Thank you for sharing that. I didn’t see any mention of that on this forum (I also didn’t dig too deep either) Given that info kudos to UW if they do such a thing. That’s great. That’s pretty special for the kids who are on the receiving end of those balloons. For the large state schools, I’m all for notifying local and in-state admits first. Not knowing that, however, can definitely cause a head-scratching moment on the “window” dates.

Yup, a really nice touch from UW. You can read the post on reddit from one such student about three years ago (March 1st). Search for “UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR” by reddit user knowledge_spoon. I know this to be a valid post, as this event was confirmed by students from that school.

When should we expect to hear back?
More than likely sometime next week. They said between the 1st and 15th, but most will be released the second week of the window

uwgreeklife on Instagram posted that decisions come out tomorrow. Not sure if that’s true but that’s what was also shared on ZeeMee. Good luck everyone!

How fantastic if they’re right…
If the post is correct, does it mean UW will start sending out decisions in patches tomorrow or all decisions will be available by then?
I think generally UW releases most decisions at once if I’m not mistaken
