<p>I just applied to transfer to UW- Seattle and UW-Bothell. On Bothell's website it says you have 20 days from the day you receive the acceptance letter to reply. I have applied to UW Seattle before and it took them well over five months to review my application (and then reject me). I can't afford to send Bothell a deposit if I'm not going there. Anyone have similar experiences?</p>
<p>I’d say call up or even visit (depending on how close you live) the Bothell campus and explain your situation. They have probably dealt with this problem frequently, so I’d imagine they’d be sympathetic to your situation, especially if you emphasized that you are 100 % coming to the Bothell campus unless* you get accepted to Seattle.</p>
