UW Summer/Autumn 2015 Transfer

I was thinking they might have taken a break between the last wave and this next one…

Plausible.
I just can’t believe how much this waiting sucks.
I’m glad I have this forum to find solace in others who are in the same boat!

It took about 2 weeks for the majority of BS students to be notified. So probably another 2 weeks for BA students.

I know what you mean @barshburs…i was very happy when i found other people who were in the same “boat” as me. I hope we know before june is over…it would be fun to have a meetup sometime…if we do get accepted. lol

@uwwannabe If I don’t know before June is over I’m literally going to be so frustrated I can’t even explain it. But I guess I don’t need to because all of Yall will know exactly how I’m feeling! :wink:

I’d be down for a meetup. We can all bond over this horrible experience lol (which will hopefully end w a good outcome)

Lets hope!!! I understand your frustration! i dont even know what to do to keep myself busy. lol…lets get through this next wave and hope we get accepted!

I think I got rejected from Seattle and accepted to Bothell instead. The banner says University of Washington Bothell for me now…This kinda sucks. :frowning:

Where is the banner?

I am talking about the big banner that is on every page once you sign into your MyUW account.

oh i see. nothing on your unofficial transcript page? Also dont stress yet, if you didnt get into seattle but got into bothel then you are good! you can always transfer from uwbothel to uwseattle.

It’s a new week but still no change in transcript…
I’m terrified I’ll see a letter from UW anyways

I have the exact same feeling…no change over here yet…ugh…we just have to keep our hopes up!

Last year it started up a couple on 24-25 and then a couple more on the 27th and then the only ones waiting seemed to be engineers, OOS, and drama.

Oh really? So sometime this week basically.

I emailed uw admissions (idk what I expected to get out of it) and they said:

"Thank you for contacting the UW Office of Admissions.

The majority of transfer applicants for Autumn 2015 will be hearing back sometime this month, but other students will be receiving their letter in July. You can always check the status of your application by logging on to your MyUW account."

AS IF I HAVENT BEEN CHECKING MY MYUW ACCOUNT A MILLION TIMES A DAY.

Also saying “majority will hear back this month” makes me scared because “majority” get rejected…

Thats pretty good news…so we only should have to wait untill the end of this month until we know…

If you get rejected just re apply, or appeal. Im gonna re apply in August if i dont get accepted this time around

They don’t seem to do anything to transcripts until noon. I don’t even think their office opens until 9AM, then they have to get situated and stuff. Don’t expect it at 8AM. Again, just keep yourself busy and only allow yourself to check a couple times a day. We are all nervous but it doesn’t help to check so often. You will get discouraged quicker if you check every hour and see no changes made. It doesn’t help to say that you got rejected until you know through an official form. It doesn’t only put yourself down, but it makes everyone else a little more paranoid. No one needs that, so be positive and trust that UW has a system that they are following. People have gotten accepted/rejected as early as may and as late as the end of july in previous years. We are all in the same boat with different circumstances. Chill out haha

If you’re new, then read through previous pages because your question was most likely covered if it has to do with unofficial transcripts or UW’s sister schools. Wishing the best to everyone.

i understand what you’re saying, but everyone has different coping mechanisms.
yours might be to just let live and that’s great, but mine is to check multiple times even if i know there won’t be any changes.
i never explicitly said that i count myself as rejected. i’m not putting myself down by being realistic.
also around the time acceptances and rejections come out, many people use this forum to vent and discuss their updates from the school/lack thereof.
and personally, i think it makes people less paranoid to connect with others who are in the same situation or feeling the same way, not more paranoid.

No offense man, I really do think you mean well, but the way I see it, this is like the one place we all have to vent and discuss and sympathize, because chances are other people in our lives don’t want to hear about it 5 times a day no matter how supportive they are. I dunno about you, but when I have tried to discuss it with other people I usually end up frustrated and resisting the urge to say stuff like “you don’t understand what its like”, which makes me sound like an angsty teenager–something i like to avoid at all costs lol. If we all had a rational approach towards this, this forum probably wouldn’t exist. As I’m sure you know, it is not an exaggeration to say this is a life changing thing. The way I see it, if letting out the crazy here keeps it from spilling over into other parts of our lives, well, then, let it rain.
