Hi, I have been waitlisted at the University of Washington. I am from out of state, and UW has been my dream school since before I can even remember. I know many of you reading this are in the same situation. I want to start this forum to keep in touch with one another and to stay updated on the waitlist decisions made by the UW Admissions staff between May and August 1st. To my understanding, no one was admitted from the waitlist last year because UW accepted too many freshmen applicants. I am hoping UW didn’t make the mistake of accepting too many people this year and that the waitlist gets reevaluated. I scored 1250 on my SAT, received a 3.89 accumulative GPA. I am a State Officer for a highly respected Career and Technical Student Organization. I have an internship position. And I am extremely involved in and off of campus. I have been pretty down ever since I received my email stating I was on the waitlist this past weekend. Feel free to comment on this forum any information about yourself, the application status, or how you’re feeling. We are all in this together!
Hi,
My daughter got waitlisted for the psychology major. OOS Bay Area, 3.8 UW, 4 W, 30 ACT. Did you apply and get accepted to some other schools? You have so much to offer and UW would be foolish not to admit you.
My daughter also got waitlisted, but I just found out she was mistakenly classified as OOS (she has residency because her dad is a WA resident). She’s so disappointed – UW is her top pick and she was feeling pretty good about it.
3.8UW, 4.1W, 1150 SAT
We figured it’s that darn SAT score. She has a good offer at UofO, but we’re appealing the waitlist decision based on the mistaken residency issue. Not sure if that would impact how her application was evaluated, but it can’t hurt to try the appeal.
@meredithfp Go back and look at your coalition application to see how you answered residency questions. Mine correctly showed WA residency. I would not go by the portal info.
I am also waitlisted and my intended major is neurobiology. Washington was my top school and not I’m just losing hope. I did the appeal and my essay was sooo good. I had help editing but it turned out extremely well and I was so happy about it. I did not do so well this past semester and further explained why that happened in my appeal. Unfortunately, I received an email today from the admissions saying I did not get in from the appeal. I sent it last Wednesday…
Gpa UW: 3.5 W: 4.17
SAT/ACT: 1260/27
Taken 5 APs and my ECs are great: 3 paid jobs, 1 volunteer job, part of clubs and organizations, lobbied in DC, travel sport, maybe other things? I cannot remember
Essay: talked about being a female weightlifter and then my supp I talked about my jewish identity.
The email truly upset me as it basically said all that hard work I put into the essay for just an “I’m sorry” and a goodbye.
