@cercit20 I’m transferring from Seattle Central!
I was accepted at UW Seattle!
I just checked my status and I was rejected. Not surprised because I didn’t realize I needed the Math 98 till it was too late. It still stings even though I’ve already committed to another school. I’ve obsessed over getting into UW-S for the longest time so to have it be over is weird. It still is my dream school despite all the problems transfers have to go through in this process.
@octoberblues Congratulations! That’s awesome news! Are you still committed to UW-T?
Hi guys. Never posted on this site before but made an account just because I wanted to say some things… so if you’re anything like me and obsessively searched through all the previous posts regarding transfer admissions everywhere on the internet, I am hoping that what I say will reach someone even as little as it may be. This is my second time applying to the UW Seattle campus and this time I got in (rejected the first time). I just want whoever reads this to remember that there is always something that we can do. Many things never seem to go the way we want it to, but all we can do is do whatever we can to change the way we deal with and perceive things. That way, you might find yourself walking a path that you did not plan but realize that is what you needed. I believe that I only got to where I am right now after the experiences that I had that both broke and made me as a person. And as sucky as those things were, I can gladly say that now I feel that I am fully prepared to be attending UW (unlike the first time when I was rejected, I wasn’t really in a good place). So I guess I just wanted to send out a message of hope. Regardless of whether you get in or get rejected, remember that there are so many things out there for you that you just do not yet realize or see. So don’t give up! I had to slowly build up my very very low GPA (I didn’t do well my first years at community college) and at age 22, I am only now finally going to my dream school. I hope the best for the rest of you guys who are still expecting notifications (I got accepted a couple of days ago) and good luck everyone.
@julietjuju3 I’m so sorry to hear that, I was really rooting for you. Best of luck at your new school!
Hi guys, my last account was deleted by a monitor for some reason. I just wanted to say that I got accepted to UW! UW has always been my dream school and I never expected to be accepted. I just applied for fun and kept my expectations really low. My gpa isn’t that great, I don’t have a 4.0, it took a while to build up from my first year of community college. I also had a low GPA. It took many major changes and in & out of school to get to where I am. I do believe there is someone out there who wants it more than me and even deserves it more than me but I am so grateful right now. Good luck!!
@UWtransfer2018 I saw it coming. UW admissions kept emailing me if I was going to take a math course over the summer and I just never replied so they had no choice but to deny me. & Thank you! I think CWU will be a good fit for me right now. Things work out the way they do for a reason so maybe UW isn’t right for me at the moment, which is fine by me because I’ll be applying again for grad school. Maybe I’ll be ready then!
All the best for CWU @julietjuju3
Did anyone contact UW lately? Any update on when they will release the decisions?
@julietjuju3 Did you receive an email as well or were you only notified through the portal?
@UWtransfer2018 I got both. But I checked my portal first last night and it changed to “Thank you for applying to the Seattle campus of the University of Washington. We have reviewed your application and regret that we are unable to offer you admission for autumn quarter 2018. We appreciate your interest in the University of Washington and all of the time and effort that went into your application.” Then I got the email this morning, but containing more information.
I got accepted last week but decided to transfer to another university. Hope one of you who are still waiting can take my spot. Good luck to you all.
@julietjuju3 Thank you! I’m still, like, 90% sure that I’m going to go with the Tacoma campus since I have already put forth so much effort into planning my move to the area, and I think the smaller campus would be a better fit for me, personally. And they’ve been a lot more hospitable/helpful towards me as a transfer student, which is important, as I’ve been pretty unimpressed with how Seattle has handled things.
I’m sorry that UW didn’t work out, but you’re going to do great at CWU!!!
I got in! Pre-social sciences because I want to do the LSJ program
I got admits from Texas A&M and UT Dallas Computer science… Eagerly waiting for UDubb which is my dream school
GUYS! I GOT IN!! Well I’m a pre-major because I didn’t apply to Foster )-: BUT WOW THAT’S STILL SOMETHING. But now i’m really conflicted because fighting to go into Foster is really hard so I’m not sure if I should just stick to UWB )-:
@mtvy224 Congratulations! Yeah. Getting into Foster is a bit hard but I also heard that Foster only cares about your stats. So if you have good gpa and wsa maybe it’s worth a shot. Check out the stats on reddit. Theres a thread for every year or quarter
When did you find out? Also would you mind sharing your stats? I’m getting really anxious now
Yeah Foster does like a lot of stats but holistically reviews sometimes but I mean that’s very few. I definitely know my stats are too low for foster
Okay now my stats. THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU ALL IM SURE. but I think my essay is what got me into UW but I also had a positive grade trend!! I didn’t have extra curriculars due to time
Went into SFSU for a year for bio, dropped out, moved to Washington and went to edcc to continue bio. I really sucked at bio I was a C student. I finally switched to business fall 2017 and my grade trend change from 2.8 to a solid 3.6 student. Overall GPA 3.2 (bc of my poor gpa in bio)
My essay I talked about how my dad got a stroke and worked graveyard and how I took care of him. (Woke him up, made him lunch, got a second job to take care of more expenses)
I also found out yesterday! Yesterday afternoon I checked the status of the application and it said “we will inform you when we made a decision” and it was kinda funny because at night I was face timing my bf and complaining how UW hasn’t replied, I checked my portal preparing to repeat the same message and then it said “Congratulations…” Safe to say I cried for a good 5 minutes
