@cercit20 i thought we were going to hear back our adimission decision soon…I emailed them yesterday, and they told me the notification period is may-June. For the missing items, do I just reply that email attached with the stuff they need ? Or what should I do?

@RichL0828 If you don’t mind sharing, what kind of information were they requesting? Also, when did you submit your application?

GPA: 3.6
In state
Transferring with 93 credits (because we had to take a college success class that was 3 credits)
CC: Pierce College
Intended major: Sociology & Political Science (if I can’t double major, I’ll just minor in PS)
My essay touches on my struggles in HS, and how I found my way in College. I also touch based on my aspirations and being the first American born in my family. It goes into way more detail but I think it’s pretty solid. I would rewrite it now if I had the chance because some of my aspirations have changed, but I’m sure UW will get the gist of it.
I feel as though I have the same chance of getting in as I do of being rejected, but we’ll see! My HS GPA was a 2.7 & now it’s a 3.6 so that might help in my favor.

Does anyone else have an 8 digit number on their application? Is that a student ID number or just an ID number for the application?

@julietjuju3 where do you see the number?

@linnearrr When you click to view/download PDF form of your application there is a number at the top right on the same line as classification.

@julietjuju3 are you on a desktop or mobile? Lol I’m so curious now!

@julietjuju3 Also, are you in the myUW platform? I’m not finding a download PDF option.

@linnearrr Desktop. It’s not on the MYUW, it’s on the platform we used to apply at UW. I think it’s called applyweb.com

I actually don’t think it’s a student ID number. https://itconnect.uw.edu/learn/tools/myuw-help-center/find-my-student-number/
The website says that a student ID number is “The first two digits of your student number are the year you were admitted to the UW. The third digit indicates the quarter you were admitted: 1 for summer quarter; 2 and 3 for autumn, 4 for winter, and 5 for spring. The rest of the digits are random.”
The ID number on the top of my application starts with a 7… so must be something else.

@julietjuju3 I don’t believe that is a student number, because its the same on both my Tacoma and Seattle app. However, I did receive acceptance to UWT today, and that number doesn’t match my UWT student ID.

I applied to CUNY Baruch, Colgate U, Trinity Col, and Colby Col. If I get enough aid from them, I’ll attend those. Otherwise, I’ll apply again to UW for the next term.

I am getting really worried now. I didn’t get any email. I hope they ask me for my updated transcripts because my GPA is better than the last transcripts.

And for the number. I believe that everyone gets it when they apply. I trust the unofficial transcript trick though. It works. I keep checking it every hour lol

Does anyone know if UW offers credit for courses taken on EdX? Like if I add a verified certificate? It seems like it is a really cheap option if it is possible to get credit. I want to take a couple courses for free and if I get credit even better.

Didn’t get an email for what? @transfer3018

@julietjuju3 An email asking for missing materials. A lot of people last year got emails asking for updated transcripts. If they ask me I can send my new grades.

I applied to SPU as well and am very hopeful I’ll be accepted, since I applied last fall and was accepted (and didn’t even finish my application). I still have my fingers crossed though. If I get in, I’m going to pay for a spot until I hear from UW.

@linnearrr they want to know what classes I’m taking this quarter, and I applied February 10th
