Apply early or regular?

For an in-state student, those are solid stats. As a UW parent who has followed admissions for 5 years, I don’t see any risk of rejection, the worst case is possible postponement – so go ahead and apply early. Good luck!

Great stats. Apply sooner than later so that task is done.
