Does the trick still work or did they fix it?
What was the old trick?
Well I guess it wasnt really a trick. It’s just what everyone called it. Basically if you try to access your “Unofficial UW Transcript” from your UW account, and it loads, it means you’re in. If it doesnt load, either you did get in but have to wait for the official letter or you didnt get in. Something like that. Saw a bunch of people constantly talking about it here on CC, so wanted to know if it still works. It apparently worked for people before the decision date.
When I click on mine, it just says the page cannot be loaded.
They won’t load for direct entries until at least 1 March. Expect that the first batch will start showing up the second or third week of March.
Okay thanks 
So basically we have to wait until the deadline. I can’t wait to see if I get accepted -.-
Hi, is this working? I also can’t seem to find my unofficial transcript. Where is it again?
I’m the same way!
Steps to checking your unofficial transcript:
- go to https://myuw.washington.edu/
- login
- On the left hand side, you'll see categories such as "MyFrontPage", "Academics", "Admissions", etc.
- Click on "Admissions."
- Once clicked, look to the right and find the box that says "After Being Admitted, Seattle"
- You should see "Unoffical UW Transcript." Click to see if you made the cut!
Hope this helps… Good luck everyone! 
Doesn’t work for everyone and will usually only work a week or less before your letter is sent out
It’s still too early to tell–I would try again around March 7th or so.
Best of luck!
Yeah but I still like checking it everyday to see if it loads
My unofficial transcript thing changed… It used to never load, now it says “Personal Services-Unavailable. The Personal Services are not in service at this time. Please try again during normal operating hours.”
"Hours of Service
The MyUW Student Personal Services, Time Schedule queries, and MyUWClass for faculty are generally available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the following exceptions:
a brief interruption each night between 1:30 a.m. and 2:30 a.m.
Sunday mornings from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. for system maintenance
Service may be interrupted on weekends for additional system and equipment maintenance."
Did anyone else get this?
The message states that it goes down at 1:30am each night, it was probably just some system maintenance.
Yeah I realized that later. I had a small moment of excitement where I thought I was accepted XD
When are decisions supposed to come out?
@gustavmahler I think anywhere between March 15-31
Yeah you’ll get either “The Big Envelope”, which means you’re in, or a regular white envelope which means you didn’t .-.
So is this “trick” actually supposed to work? I’m probably going to be check it every day now haha
It apparently has been working for quite a few people over the past few years. If it loads its supposedly means you’re 99% most likely accepted. I’ve seen posts about it on Udubs section for ages.
