UWashington Acceptance Early?

I am a Washington resident that is a bit confused.

To my knowledge UW does not do early action nor does it have rolling admissions. You apply December 1st and get your decision like February or March… However on Facebook/Twitter I have seen people posting that they have been admitted. One person even held up a letter.

What is going on here? Do you think they send out what major you were accepted to or just that you were accepted (for example would they decide the direct admission into UW Computer Science department)

I am fairly sure that all of these were from seniors, not transfers. Unless it has to do with the running start program.

“Admission decisions are made only after all freshman applications have been reviewed. Therefore, all admission decisions are mailed between March 15 and March 31. The UW does not participate in an early decision or early action notification plan.”

You most likely saw the people being accepted who applied for the WINTER Term 2017. :slight_smile:
