@badgers810 technically (not specific to UW at all) it doesnāt have to go down to push an update like this but I think they are running and older version of peoplesoft so it they may just to be safe.
You guys Iāll bet the UW system wants to update everyoneās status with a decision but it canāt get in because everyoneās too busy adding courses to their schedule and paying off their tuition early :))

@jbstillflying do you recall in past if someone didnāt get in to the first choice - during EA announcements would they admit them to their second choice school or simply defer until closer to actual regular admission?
@HHSMomx2 - no clue! When my D applied two years ago it seemed that a lot got deferred early. They may be admitting more to 2nd choice in the early cycle than they did in prior years but really thatās just speculation. Whatās interesting is the amount of ālead timeā everyoneās getting. Donāt recall being able to snoop around the Student Center like this in the past. Applicants seem to have a 24 hour heads up on 2nd choice admission now.
@jbstillflying when we met with the biz school for our tour they mentioned they would be doing the majority via direct admit for the first time compared to years past. Maybe that change also has something to do with it?
Agree the swap to secondary major is really intriguing to meā¦
My portal is down
As painful as the waiting is, everyoneās posts today and yesterday are helping me get thru this! Thanks to all!
on the main myuw page before you click over to āstudent centerā i have an extra tile now - there was 4 now there are 5. I donāt recall seeing one for āadvising resourcesā before. When you click on it it takes you to the undergraduate advising portal.
Did I miss that before?
Crossing our fingers itās in 29 minutes!
@mimi wong - I think I am more nervous than my son! How many schools do you have left to hear from?
Luckily Iām 4 for 4 right now so even if I donāt get into wisco (dream school since 3 years old) itās not the end of the world
@HHSMomx2 - not sure but the stuff on there reminds me of the stuff available just to enrolled students. Even if someoneās accepted Iām surprised stuff like Handshake and career advising is accessible before enrollment!
I am looking at the new added 5th column. If you look at the HTML source.
The code for that space reads:
I donāt know what it means
@HHSMomx2 Noticed that today too! Wasnāt sure if I had just missed it beforeā¦ Looking into this portal stuff has my mind playing tricks on me LOL
Is no change to portal a bad sign?
Did these changes last year equate with being admitted? A few friends who applied with higher stats than me all have them but I donātā¦ Iām so scared
I donāt think Iāve had any changes to my portalā¦ getting kind of nervous
