Any word on wait list admissions from anyone? Nobody has posted anything so I’m assuming they are still working on it. Has anyone called the admissions office to find out when the decisions might be made?
So i just talked to uw - they said theres a high possibilty they my not take anyone at all; if they do its gonna be a very small amount of people
@edwin05 did they say anything else? did they say it was because they accepted so many people this year?
@Keylin I think what you said is true. It also has to do with the fact that UW is also in the process of admitting transfer students, therefore there will most likely be even less space for freshmen.
I called the UW Seattle Office of Admissions and they said that the international wait list has been closed. I didn’t think of asking but does anyone know how many got off that wait list ? That might help resident or out of state applicants, who knows haha. I asked if it was true that possibly no one would get in or only a small number and they were super nice but basically said they don’t have any idea what the timeline or number of applicants looks like. I personally think they havent made many decisions for resident and out of state freshman applicants because they were focusing on transfer and international applicants which will help them determine how many of us they can accept. Also I think they havent made my decision yet because that’s what it says on myUW. best of luck everyone! Sorry for the long message, this is obviously something I care about too much haha
Got an email today that said they don’t have any spots available for waitlist students as of now.
I havent gotten any email?
Really? Interesting. Hopefully you will get better news.
I got the same email saying that they had a lot of people accept their offer this year which means they won’t be accepting students unless some admitted students decided not to go. No one feel bad about yourself, we met the criteria if we were wait listed. anyone a running start student thinking of transferring? This has been so hard on me because I was almost sure I would be accepted and now I don’t really have anywhere to go because I got my AA in high school and UW is my dream school
I wonder if UW would consider waitlist students for winter quarter?
I was on the wait list and just checked my portal and it now says that they “regret that they cannot offer me admission for the Fall 2017 semester”. Did anyone else’s portal just update with the same message?
I’m sorry @huskiehopeful24 . You shouldn’t feel bad though. I think they will be accepting no one or very few this year. That’s what they said in the email they sent out. Also, just because you were wait listed means that you did meet the criteria to get in. Sometimes its just bad luck. I think we all just need to keep that in mind when we are thinking about the wait list. Life goes on and we all shouldn’t be upset because we did well.
Has anyone gotten in or have heard of anyone getting in?
nope. Anyone’s portal changed on UW?
I heard that uw overbooked so many people to the point where they might not even have rooms for them. In that case i think its safe to say that uw will not be taking anyone off the waitlist
URGENT
Hi I am an international student from india, I want to know in the waitlist form the the place where we have to write about the courses taken , are we supposed to write about courses taken outside high school or in high school ??
If you really want to attend UW and do not enjoy waiting, I would highly recommend you to submit an appeal as soon as possible. I was waitlisted so I appealed on April 16th and got accepted on April 30th. Many people this year also appealed and got in!
