UW Autumn 2018 Transfer Discussion (University of Washington)

@mtvy224 Congratulations again! Sounds like an amazing essay. You’ll do great wherever you decide to go. If possible, post on this discussion board what you decide.

It sounds like Pre-majors are getting their decisions now

I got in! There was no email, so i just checked the portal. I major in pre-med.

Have anyone else got accepted yesterday? Ugh so anxious… Can’t sleep well these days…

@hellouw18 Same. I really wish I get it on Monday. It would be the best birthday gift ever.

I got in thursday morning!! Forgot to post in here because I was too excited! In my acceptance it said that I need to decide by July 5th, so everyone else should be hearing really soon!!!

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think everyone’s reply date is different. I think read about it somewhere.

Hi guys. First comment here. Does anyone here apply as international transfer as well? Do you have any update yet? Also, is it fine for me to only apply for UW but not for Foster? Will my application be cancelled if I get in afterward? Thank you so much!!!

@HarryCheng Yeah. I applied the same way. You would be assigned Pre-Business major if you get in. You would apply to Foster while attending UW and completing the pre-requisites required.

Are you a freshman right now or a sophomore?

I am a freshman right now.

You would probably just take general ed classes and it’s okay to apply into just the school I think. I’m not an international transfer but a regular transfer but I’m sure it’s the same.

@HarryCheng I’m a freshman too. Did you finish your Foster school pre-requisites? It’s okay to apply to just Foster. A lot of people who got admitted from high school to pre-business major do the same thing.

@transfer3018 I didn’t. So I need to finish prerequisites in order to entering Foster, right? If so, is there online course?

Thank you so much for your help!! Appreciate it

@mtvy224 Got it. I was so worried that I might be cancelled because of that. Hope everyone here gets good news!

@HarryCheng Yeah. You need to finish the pre-requisites. I have no idea if UW has any online classes but maybe not.

@transfer3018 Do you mean that I don’t need to do anything right now, and once I attend UW then I apply to Foster and complete the prerequisites? Am I correct?

@HarryCheng I don’t want to give you any wrong advice but that’s what I’m doing. I’m taking gen ed courses in Summer quarter. With these I would complete all of my general education requirements. So, if I get into UW, I would only have to take courses for my major and not any gen ed courses

When will you guys have your Orientation?

Anyone else still waiting to hear? Good or bad sign?

I’m still waiting. I don’t think it’s a bad sign. People in the past have gotten accepted in August too. Since we get our decisions by July we could get accepted in July too. Fingers crossed!
