<p>I applied in November, got reviewed in December and accepted in March.</p>
<p>I applied in early November, was reviewed in February and was final reviewed yesterday.</p>
<p>Dreamkissed. Well there you go. Congratulations! As I told my daughter; There's going to be a lot of people who ain't gettin in, so you better work hard and take advantage of a great opportunity.</p>
<p>they give deicisions on rolling base?
cuz i havent heard from them..
or do they give out acceptances first then rejections?
has anyone been rejected ?</p>
<p>No, there is no evidence to show a rolling base other than everyone with over an Admissions Index of 70 is pretty much let in first, and then everyone else gets a comprehensive review. Certainly some have been rejected but no one has posted here about it yet.</p>
<p>oh god...i havent heard from them...why??
WHY!!! am i rejected or something?</p>
<p>hhhsandy: Hang in there. My S has applied to 9 colleges and universities and has only heard from 2, it just takes time.</p>
<p>Do you have other kids coming down the pike? My s (7th grade next year) is now telling his mom and me he wants to go to Cal Berkley!! What is going on?? Next he is going to want to sign up for the pre-pre-pre-pre- SAT?????!! Time to take him fishing.</p>
<p>How do u determine your AI? I applied to U of W in December and was admitted late February. I'm out of state so maybe they just want my $$.</p>
<p>Based on a combination of SAT scores and GPA, with the GPA counting for 75% of the scale. Your SAT is 1210 with a weighted GPA of 4.0. But the UW doesn't count weighted. What is your unweighted GPA? If it is around 3.7; your AI would be in the high 60s. If unweighted is more like 3.5-3.6 your AI would be in the mid 60s.</p>
<p>Thanks mmboys. My GPA is 3.6 unweighted. If there's no weighting, do they give you anything extra for taking harder AP or Honor's classes. If not, it hurts you by taking the harder classes and potentially getting a lower grade.</p>
<p>iluvmusak,</p>
<p>I understand there is a preliminary review and those with high GPAs and good test scores get put into a "turbo-admit" path. Others then get a more full review where quality of curriculum does count, as do essays and EC's.</p>
<p>mmboys07,</p>
<p>I have another S currently in 7th Grade. His stated interest is in going to stunt school, though he is an excellent student and in a very advanced curriculum. The more I learn about the college application process, the more I tend to agree with his current choice.</p>
<p>Yeah, the auto-admit thing is a little frustrating, the most frustrating thing about it I think is there is very poor information on it, I didn't even know such a thing as AI existed until after I applied, might have retaken the SAT. They are going to be changing some stuff next year, there is of course the new SAT and the UW is going to stop using the states AI, so I feel even more sorry for the class of 06. </p>
<p>Anyway, UW is on spring break next week, I just really hope this doesn't mean the admissions staff has a week off too. I doubt that though, seems like there are much better parts of the year to give them breaks.</p>
<p>I called the admissions office the other day. My d applied in November with AI of 67, and no news yet. I only called because i wanted to make sure that a mix-up with her file that had occurred at the beginning had not placed her file in limbo. I was told that the comprehensive review involves evaluation on 40 different points. Seems hard to imagine how you could get that much from that application, but go figure. So, for all of you who think you were screwed by taking honors or advanced classes, i am SURE they take that into consideration. Applications are reviewed by two people and then placed in a "cell" with others. I was not bold enough to ask on what basis (if any) the cells were formed. Nonetheless, the final decision is then made by the admissions director, who makes offers from the cell. So, because there are so many apps, it is impossible to compare a single applicant to everyone else who applied. You are basically competing with people in your cell. If you haven't heard yet, the most likely reason is that the director has not yet gotten to that cell. The fact that many with lower AIs are getting in prior to those with higher AIs suggests that the timing of the decision (other than for the auto admits) probably does not correlate with academic achievement. Relax, guys. It's coming soon. </p>
<p>As for spring break- the woman i spoke to said that another round of letters is going out at the beginning of next week. Real people with real jobs don't get off for spring break. That includes the faculty, btw.</p>
<p>A very informative post. The 40 different pts. and the division into cells with admissions director making the final call; very interesting indeed. Like you, I find the 40 different pts claim rather incredible. I have never heard anything like it before. And, I suppose there is a weighting of the points? Thanks for the information.</p>
<p>Yes, thank you so much for posting that, very informative. Had no idea the system was so complex, really wish they would post things like that on their website. I think some of us were starting to worry that being so many other people with sometimes lower AIs had heard that we might be out of luck (I know I was).</p>
<p>A little relief, but I sure hope I hear something next week, its just sort of gnawing on me, ya know..</p>
<p>I sure hope there is a weighting of the points- Otherwise the academics wouldn't count for too much!</p>
<p>Oh, I am sure the AI still has a very high weight, followed by course rigor/personal statement, and instate or not, followed by everything else. I read an article in the schools paper sometime ago that said before the personal statement that AI alone was used for 90% of the decision, so I doubt its too radical of a switch. For example, I doubt they evaluate ECs on the same level of academics and such. Just guessing though.</p>
<p>Have you heard of anyone getting rejected yet?</p>
