<p>thx mcf11 that would be great. its really not fair how the UW is doing everything there own way and not considoring everyone on the wailtist… they could at least give us some numbers…</p>
<p>Maybe UW had a larger than usual number of OOSers decline offers of admission because of the budget problems so they are trying to replace the OOSers before they hit them with another big tuition increase. :)</p>
<p>any1can- that’s actually a really good thought, i hadn’t thought of it that way before. too bad for them that everyone already knows the tuition is increasing like none other so they kinda screwed up already haha</p>
<p>I think any1can’s theory is quite good, because I was surprised when I was put in the waitlist. I am OOS and I was sure I would be accepted easily. I am just satisfied with late acceptance off the waitlist.</p>
<p>my friends’ friend got accepted off waitlist near my area (greater seattle)…instater of course. Anybody else with similar news? Mcf11? ESP?</p>
<p>nope haven’t heard anything new. i e-mailed the counselor at uw last night, asking if there is a revised schedule for waitlist notification since june 1 clearly is not accurate anymore. i also said is there a preference for out of state over in state since they are paying soo much more than us. …no response yet haha ill obvi post on here whatever i hear. any other sort of news?</p>
<p>Well I heard from my counselor that they are definitely going to the waitlist(obviously). Also the whole deal between june 1st - august 1st is that there will be people who apply to uw and deposit because they are waitlisted at places like stanford, MIT, or private colleges they really wanted to get into. Then comes july and they might get admitted and that means a spot for a person on uw’s waitlist…thats why the waitlist is going till august. Btw they know how long we’ve been waiting to hear back and how stressing the waitlist might be…so they will try to get notifications ASAP at the crack(early) of June…well other than that i’m not really sure…One news that i’m interested to hear about is how much tuition is going up for OOS since 30% went for the better off resident tuition???</p>
<p>Seaboy…Tks for the info.</p>
<p>The UW admin dept. is a shambles. Just yesterday I heard about friends of mine being accepted off the waitlists for UC Irvine and NYU, so getting students sorted out quickly and efficiently is perfectly possible at well run and properly organised schools. NYU etc are not facing any different challenges than UW.</p>
<p>I ask again in public, why is it possible for other college waitlists selections and student acceptances to be completed by May 5th or 6th yet UW is still talking about June ?</p>
<p>And I ask again, how is it that that we all know some students have been accepted off the UW waitlist already yet the UW admissions is still telling people about June ? What made their acceptances possible ?</p>
<p>Why doesnt UW accept students off the waitlist now then if they know they are going to use the waitlist… i mean i doubt there is going to be a significant number of students who are going to go to another school(i could be wrong)… so my question is, why are they waiting until June when they can just say yes or no to us anyday?</p>
<p>does anyone know how many students even enrolled at the UW? Also from articles that i have been reading on the uw daily it seems that even with the tuition increase, many classes and programs are still being cut, so i dont know how to look at the situation because i thought the tuition increase would be a good thing for some waitlisted students but its starting to look kind of bad…</p>
<p>hey guys-so i heard from my counselor today about those questions i asked. he said yes we did say decisions would be sent out in june, but that is all according to how well and how quickly they know how many are going to enroll. he did acknowledge that this means it is likely decisions will be sent out before june if the admissions office knows enrollment numbers before then. he didnt straight out answer my question about oos v. in-state but he did say there is no priority system, they just look at your app and senior grades as if it is the first time. seaboy what your counselor said is pretty interesting too…it makes sense though cause people on waitlists for other schools will get off then cancel enrollment at uw and they will still be needing us throughout the summer. i just hope we dont all actually have to wait until august, that would be torture</p>
<p>oh and he also said that we will receive decisions in writing…i guess that means no e-mail? idk haha at least he did say it could be sooner than june just depending on how everything goes</p>
<p>So they wont exactly know how many students will enroll untill later? Also did he say ne thing about how many students will be accepted off the waitlist as well as how many are on the list? cuz that would really be helpful… this wait is killing me…</p>
<p>Thanks for the info Mcf11…much appreciated. Ok so i’ve realized that if we think too much about it[waitlist] time itself will be painfully slow…So now i suggest kicking back and know that graduation is coming up so don’t think too much about it…</p>
<p>esp- no he didnt say anything about that, otherwise i definitely would have posted that info on here. i think they have an idea of how many are enrolling cause the may 1 date passed but like seaboy and udubwaiting said, there are other schools doing waitlists now too so most likely uw is going to go very slowly with their decisions, waiting to see how many enrolled students get off the waitlist at another school and cancel enrollment. unless they desparately need a lot of us, they probably will go slow in making decisions over the next month or so.</p>
<p>seaboy- im sure all of us on here have tried not thinking about it, but we all know that doesn’t really work hahah</p>
<p>“The UW admin dept. is a shambles.”??? Was that stated as known fact or naive opinion?</p>
<p>If you can’t find something else to keep you busy, at least refrain from making unconfirmed comments that others visiting this site might actually believe. And if you all can’t get off CC, try looking at most other big publics…I just checked UMich, UVa, and UNC in the last minute or two. They are all dealing with the exact same, NORMAL, order of events. </p>
<p>Don’t make a problem where there isn’t one… Seriously, I know you are anxious–but be careful about mixing fact and imagination.</p>
<p>hmmmm i just want a yes or no answer and i will never say ne thing about the waitlist again… also i hope that we waitlistees have a decent chance of getting accepted… and seaboy that is impossible for me… i check this lovely forum everyday hoping that good news will surface xD so ya…</p>
<p>Casey…yes it was me who called the UW admission dept a “shambles”. My opinion is based on much that I have written, and read from others above, comments I doubt you have read. </p>
<p>I am not going to repeat them again because you can read them for yourself. </p>
<p>And given that you have the same level of knowledge about what is really happening, your assessment of the efficiency (or not) of the UW admissions dept. is about as worthless as mine.</p>
<p>Since neither of us know the actual state of the dept., and both current and historical data show that the waitlist process seems to be proceeding quite like past years at the UW and at other peer institutions across the county, I think the comment as stated- “the UW admission dept. is a shambles”- without the disclosure that it is YOUR OPINION - is an unfair, misleading, and naive comment that I would hate for others to see as anything but what it is. My gosh–it’s May 7th!!! We can only hope that the dept. takes the time and effort to access fairly and fill the class accordingly. </p>
<p>Entry #216 on 4/29/09-- udubwaiting “sees” that the UW admission people have nothing to do since the early acceptance letters are now done"…are you kidding?</p>
<p>Hold it. Excuse me…I get it. I just finished reading your entire post – #216. Just realized this is an argument not worth having. Apparently your propensity for baseless, uninformed and unjust assumption is an ongoing habit.</p>
<p>I have followed the UW website on CC for 6 years now. I have had three children go thru the process-at the UW and other fine publics. No, I am not an expert. But I have seen the system work over and over again. And IMHO, you are attempting to make a totally normal and standard part of a yearly process into something it isn’t. Chill out. Stop turning uninformed assumptions into baseless “facts”. Get off CC - go do something for someone else - it’ll make you feel better.</p>
<p>ok lets stop there please…</p>
