[reef widget]

oh woops

cant see thru the TEARS IN MY RYES

[bronze rose]

this is wild

[craggy atlas]

hey man we all mistakes

[rugged burrow]

UW CS seems to heavily value robotics, all my robotics programming friends got in

[reef widget]

ugh

[craggy atlas]

hmmmm interesting

[plucky carbon]

i wish the gym was open right now

[reef widget]

they hate in state running start kids i guess

[reef widget]

i just wanna go on a long long drive and yell

[plucky carbon]

[rugged burrow]

doesnt seem to work for top tier schools tho lol

[reef widget]

ouch 💀

[reef widget]

ikr😭

LMAOOO

YIKES

[craggy atlas]

🫥

[forest jacinth]

Idk, I basically have 0 formal ecs, just a ton of independent coding projects

[reef widget]

wtffff

[surreal hinge]

it was so weird

[reef widget]

ughhhhhh ugh ugh

dafuq

😭😭😭

LMAO FR

[forest jacinth]

Man don’t be sad you literally have uiuc the best school ever

[reef widget]

FUCK UW

i guesss its just really fucking expensive 🥲

[grim viper]

Bro

[forest jacinth]

Id trade honestly lmao

[craggy atlas]

what the actual fuck bro how ur dreams be 3 months long i barely get a few days most dream time

[grim viper]

I had this same reaction on getting rejected

[reef widget]

thanks guys 😭💗

[rugged burrow]

starting salary of like 200k

[surreal hinge]

no i mean like in the dream i literally was experiencing kidnapping through intervals

it was so weird

i was experiencing that shit in episodes and volumes

[craggy atlas]

that's weird af like time skips??

y'all need an mri fr

[surreal hinge]

yeah 😭

bro they open my brain theyre gonna find a new source of lovecraftian horror

[craggy atlas]

tumor salad fr

[surreal hinge]

these past few weeks ive been running on ritalin and yogurt bowls

[craggy atlas]

i personally rely on huffing paint thinner and eating nothing but oreos and tomato soup

[bitter flare]

how low can my gpa go for no rescind

[craggy atlas]

/s to be clear in case any uw officials on here

[forest jacinth]

Too late

[craggy atlas]

usually nothing below a c and only one c

[craggy atlas]

silence snitch

[grim viper]

How good is UIUC Nuclear engineering/science?

[forest jacinth]

Pretty sure uiuc is good for everything engineering

[mystic wagon]

time to float in waitlist purgatory!

[reef widget]

wait so waitlist mean waitlisted for the major?

or for the whole uw in general?

i said wait so many times in that senstnec

sentence

[plucky carbon]

I haven’t seen anyone get waitlisted for the major

[cold bobcat]

They accepted 8 ppl off the wishlist last yr

Waitlist

[reef widget]

oh jeex what

8 ppl

[plucky carbon]

i mean they still say it’s not impossible

[rugged burrow]

last yr numbers were probably skewed bc u could appeal presciences to get into major but they got rid of that

[cold bobcat]

idk how anything works dis so confusin

[mystic wagon]

jeez

highly doubt I'm high on that list, I'm instate and rs and still didn't get in so 🤷‍♀️

[reef widget]

DAMN

[craggy atlas]

technically they don't have rankings they select people for random factors that the school is looking for more of

[rugged burrow]

appealing was surprisingly effective last yr

[craggy atlas]

lol this year everyone is screwed

[cold bobcat]

Does everyone who applies business get considered direct admit?

[craggy atlas]

i predict that this year marks the year UW seriously starts its public ivy arc and follows the path of UC schools it's kind of been building up for a while but this year shit got insane

[craggy atlas]

yes

[cold bobcat]

And den u can get in pre major too right

[craggy atlas]

yup i got into pre major

[rugged burrow]

i think UW just has a formula like UIUC
for UIUC its write about changing the world with tech, UW CS is do robotics programming or something similar

[plucky carbon]

whats pre major?

[craggy atlas]

basically you have to apply to the major in your sophomore year and you start junior year if you get in

[plucky carbon]

ohhh

[pallid glacier]

guys

i'm having an existential crisis rn

[plucky carbon]

in higj school right?

[pallid glacier]

is cs arts and sciences

[craggy atlas]

college will do that

[halcyon cloud]

i got in ece

[pallid glacier]

paul allen?

or...

[plucky carbon]

yeh

[pallid glacier]

IT IS?

[halcyon cloud]

whats the acceptace ratte

[red citrus]

Why do you think robotics programming is uw’s formula

[craggy atlas]

what? you apply to the major during college sophomore year and start junior year for pre major

[amber gust]

i got fucking rejected

with a 4.3 gpa

[plucky carbon]

ohhhhh

[rugged burrow]

at least for my school for the past 3 yrs,
ppl who do robotics programming and have good stats get in
its a small school and multiple ppl getting in this way

[pallid glacier]

wait so it is paul allen school of cs?

[limber lake]

What did you apply to?

[pallid glacier]

or some other college

[plucky carbon]

yep

[pallid glacier]

OMG

TYSM

I WAS DYING

[amber gust]

undeclared college of letter and science

[pallid glacier]

PHEW

[plucky carbon]

did you get in?

[craggy atlas]

oos?

[plucky carbon]

cs?

[pallid glacier]

yeah somehow I did

cs

yep

[plucky carbon]

congratulations

[pallid glacier]

tysm 🙂

[obsidian tapir]

Congrats!

[plucky carbon]

instate or oss?

[pallid glacier]

thanksss

[pallid glacier]

instate

[plucky carbon]

nice

[pallid glacier]

which probably explains it ngl

[viral sphinx]

did u get scholarship

[cold bobcat]

Do u mind sharin ur stats?

[obsidian tapir]

Nope

[viral sphinx]

cuz u got stanford so i would be surprised if u did not

whut how

[obsidian tapir]

UW don't want me ig

[viral sphinx]

u dont want them either lol

[pallid glacier]

wait UW has scholarships?

[plucky carbon]

ye

[viral sphinx]

yea i got purple and gold

[obsidian tapir]

Ong 💀💀

[pallid glacier]

ooh

[jaunty fulcrum]

not true, ppl ik got in without robotics, while robotics kids got rejected

[obsidian tapir]

What qualified you for it

[pallid glacier]

wait how do you see if you got one

[craggy atlas]

yeah in state 3.83 unweighted 10 ap 1 de 7 honors a bunch of deca awards

[viral sphinx]

idk

the aos just liked me ig

[craggy atlas]

you won't as an in state student

[pallid glacier]

ohh ok 😦

well

[lethal sinew]

wait

so

[pallid glacier]

not complaining

got that sweet in state tuition

[red citrus]

Does the acceptance letter for pre science and CS look different?

[lethal sinew]

if i applied for EE

[cold bobcat]

Is in state higher or na

[limber lake]

No scholarships for in state because they say it’s pretty affordable

[craggy atlas]

hell yeah brother

[lethal sinew]

i can only be accepted undeclared right

[plucky carbon]

yep only 12 k

[vocal canopy]

put yes to be quirky

[viral sphinx]

the website says some in state can get scholarships

[limber lake]

Vs 40k

[rugged burrow]

could just be bc my school's robotics team is pretty good(but its not worlds level)
and just robotics ppl at my school get into presciences, only members of the programming subteam getting in

[pallid glacier]

I assume so

[craggy atlas]

higher in what way

[pallid glacier]

for CS it's much higher

that I know

[red citrus]

Are you in state

[pallid glacier]

cs in state from their statistics was like 20% or something

out of state was about 2 %

[vocal canopy]

yikes

[craggy atlas]

yup 💀

[vocal canopy]

wait does anyone have a link to those numbers?

[pallid glacier]

umm yeah I should be able to find one second

[rugged burrow]

yeah. also its not the only way to get in, just a weird pattern ive found at my school

[vocal canopy]

thank you!

[pallid glacier]

https://admit.washington.edu/apply/freshman/by-the-numbers/

here you are

go down to the bottom

[vocal canopy]

yayy thanks

[cold bobcat]

Acceptance

[pallid glacier]

keep in mind

it seems to be lower this year

[vocal canopy]

3% 💀

[craggy atlas]

definitely

[pallid glacier]

yeah 💀

[viral sphinx]

https://admit.washington.edu/costs/scholarships/#freshman

[pallid glacier]

that's around the same as UIUC OOS CS

I think

[obsidian tapir]

U instate?

[vocal canopy]

jesus

[obsidian tapir]

Says cs

[viral sphinx]

oos

[pallid glacier]

cs is a bloodbath 😦

[obsidian tapir]

Bruh

[pallid glacier]

I hope by the time we graduate it isn't an overpopulated major lol

[obsidian tapir]

A lot of people end up dropping it

[pallid glacier]

also guys

if you're planning on visiting campus

pls do so during cherry blossom season

it's BEAUTIFUL

[wooden pebble]

is it possible to apply to declare a major in freshman year so that im under that major in sophomore year? (Idk if this makes sense help

[pallid glacier]

ahh ic ic

[obsidian tapir]

I second that

[pallid glacier]

look at this!

like something out of an anime

[reef widget]

wait for for uw when do u actually start ur courses for ur major?

[vocal canopy]

yeah, it's so beautiful

[red citrus]

does your school do FRC

[viral sphinx]

wdym

[craggy atlas]

have been in person and can concur also the dorms are incredibly nice

[craggy atlas]

i think October

[rugged burrow]

both FTC and FRC, suck at FTC decent at FRC

[obsidian tapir]

Lot of people don't get past weedout classes

[reef widget]

ohhh really but u start ur first year?

[viral sphinx]

oh well.

[vocal canopy]

it's so green in washington i can never believe it

[craggy atlas]

if ur direct to major yeah

[reef widget]

ohhhh okay

[plucky carbon]

yeh and it’s always raining

[red citrus]

literally I've lived here almost all my life and I'm still in awe every time I drive home and see all the green

[vocal canopy]

the rain is pretty nice

[plucky carbon]

it is

[vocal canopy]

i live in california so it's always yellow unless it's actively raining and i loved seattle!!

we never get rain in summer so experiencing that was pretty special

[stray cosmos]

a lil too much rain in cali recently huh

[vocal canopy]

yeah it's currently storming where i am

we got a lot of landslides in the last big storm

[plucky carbon]

did you get in?

[craggy atlas]

a lot of ppl don't know this about Washington but the wind actually gets insane

the hail to

[viral sphinx]

is this not true for every college tho? a lot of people drop scholarships cuz they dont satisfy the min gpa

[plucky carbon]

it doesn’t really in seattle

[vocal canopy]

the landslide??

[plucky carbon]

no uw lol

[vocal canopy]

oml im dumb

yeah i did

[plucky carbon]

nice congrats

[craggy atlas]

i live like 20 minutes from Seattle bro and i spend like 1/4 of my time there lmao

trust me it's bad

[plucky carbon]

I live in seattle its not that bad

[obsidian tapir]

Ya I was saying cs too cuz someone was talking about everyone doing cs

[prime elbow]

So I got in but this school is expensive as fuck

[vocal canopy]

real

[viral sphinx]

im ece

probably worse 💀

[obsidian tapir]

Same thing jus more hardware fr

[viral sphinx]

wait what major r u at stanford

cs?

[obsidian tapir]

Yes

[prime elbow]

Guys what does it mean by pure science

Pre

[obsidian tapir]

The science building

[rugged burrow]

it means you didn't get into your major so if u go to uw u have to transfer in

[vocal canopy]

what? no

from what i understand, unless you applied cs and didn't get in, everyone who applies under science automatically gets placed into pre-science

[plucky carbon]

yep

[rugged burrow]

oh mb

[vocal canopy]

no worries

[ebon dawn]

I can second that - I requested physics, got into pre sciences

[prime elbow]

Ooh

Thanks guys

[craggy atlas]

maybe I'm there only when it's legit bad 💀 in my area at least it gets really bad

[fresh furnace]

So we know the acceptance rate for this year

[viral sphinx]

we do?

[scenic moat]

So with undeclared engineering can I get into CE

?

[viral sphinx]

everyone is undeclared

so yes

[scenic moat]

Oohk

[viral sphinx]

u declare whatever major u put in common app second year

[patent fossil]

bro how did I get pre-sciences when I applied to engineering wtf

[viral sphinx]

u got 2nd major it seems

[patent fossil]

huh

ig

[plucky carbon]

wait hold on

[patent fossil]

if you're giving undeclared

atleast give it for the first major ffs

[plucky carbon]

i didnt get in for cs but my second choice of major was ce

can i get in ce?

[viral sphinx]

did u get rejected

or admitted

[plucky carbon]

im so confused

[vocal canopy]

sorry that was pixelated as hell

[plucky carbon]

dont worry bro its not impossible to try

to apply again

[fresh furnace]

Sorry meant to make that a question

[viral sphinx]

idk then

is pre sciences related to cs

[plucky carbon]

yeh

[fresh furnace]

Everyone who doesn't get in for cs gets in for pre science

[viral sphinx]

or they get rejected

[fresh furnace]

Ye u know what I mean

[plucky carbon]

idk man it’s so fucking confusing ima email my counselor tomorrow

[fresh furnace]

I think u can pick any other major in the college tho

I think

[reef widget]

wait so the only options for cs are reject, waitlist, accept to cs, or presciences?

[fresh furnace]

Yeah I think so

No alt major for some reason

[patent fossil]

who got waitlisted here?

[plucky carbon]

haven’t seen any

[reef widget]

nobody that i know here but my bf did

[patent fossil]

oh

[plucky carbon]

for the major?

or uw

[reef widget]

idk tbh

[patent fossil]

waitlisted for direct admit to cs?

[reef widget]

no clue i didnt wanna ask 😭

[vocal canopy]

someone in #👻-the-medium-place did

[patent fossil]

oh

cool

[fresh furnace]

2 of my friends got wl'd for bio

[reef widget]

whats the diff btwn wait list for uw vs the major(

[vocal dragon]

IM IN

[plucky carbon]

nice

[reef widget]

yayyayyaa

[plucky carbon]

congrats

what major?

[reef widget]

wooot woot 🥳

[vocal dragon]

wtf does pre major means?

[reef widget]

i think it means you got into your major

[vocal dragon]

FUCK YEAH

[reef widget]

CONGRAYSSSS

[vocal dragon]

🇧🇷➡️🇺🇸

[plucky carbon]

so like for cs it’s different from uw you can get in uw but not cs but some people to get in to cs but for example they get in Stanford for cs too so they dont go to uw so their place goes to someone who applied directly to ca

[raw socket]

You still need to apply for your major once you attend

[vocal dragon]

brazil power 😍😍😍

[plucky carbon]

as for uw waitlist is the 160 major that they can chose

[vocal dragon]

i’m so excited

[reef widget]

ohhhh gotcha

this stuff is so confusing

[plucky carbon]

im still confused

[reef widget]

yea no same

all i know is me and uw have some beef

[vocal dragon]

understood this pre major thing

[plucky carbon]

still confusing for cs

[summer wolf]

almost impossible to get into cs if u didnt get into the major now

not the case with other majors because CS is unique in the way they direct admit freshman

[tight geyser]

how much did you guys get for purple and gold?

[viral sphinx]

3k

[plucky carbon]

its not impossible at least I have to try

[summer wolf]

True

[fresh furnace]

Nah I'm holding the L

I wanted applied math anyways

[cold bobcat]

are u oss?

[cobalt moon]

do u have to call

for setting up the uW accnt

[fresh furnace]

4k

[cobalt moon]

wait

wtf

what is assigned major

what does it mean to get in under pre sciences

is everyone pre sciences

or just lik e

the kids who didnt make the first cut

[fresh furnace]

U can do whatever u want except cs

[cobalt moon]

https://www.washington.edu/newhuskies/admissions-to-majors/

oh thats fire

i gues someone alr posted that link

cs is too scuffed

[rare tendon]

got in!

[cobalt moon]

samzies!

[fresh furnace]

Lesgo

Does anyone know how to talk to ur counselor

[blazing oasis]

W

[cobalt moon]

id oos acc that hard to get in

[fresh furnace]

Acc?

[lapis hazel]

Rejected out of state, political science

[rough surge]

moi

neuroscience waitlisted

fr

[glacial forum]

Got an offer for BA at Foster

[edgy token]

it does not

but getting into foster isn’t too hard once you’re at uw from what i’ve heard

[edgy token]

there’s only ever like 5-6 neuro da’s every cycle(~1% acceptance rate), it’s a much higher rate after you’re at uw and do the prereqs (~60%)

[edgy token]

you got into the school, but you do not currently have a major. once you’ve completed prereqs for a major you want (generally 3-4 classes) you can apply to a major (usually requires some essays and grades from the prereq classes). this means for your first year you do not have a major, and people at uw often say “my intended major is ___” for their freshman/sophomore year

[bronze rose]

wait rly?

is it that low

yeah?

not sure

[elfin stream]

congrats everyone who was admitted

and if not then just remember uw is a state school and there are others

[wooden pebble]

Anyone knows how A level credit works? For eg under maths it shows MATH 1XX (15cr). Math124, math125 (5cr each) are part of supporting coursework for neuroscience which i intend to major in. With the MATH1xx credits, does it mean that i dont have to do those classes?

[scenic moat]

What is the acceptance rate for engineering intl

[rare tendon]

where do we check for all the course credit we've gotten?

[wooden pebble]

https://admit.washington.edu/apply/transfer/exams-for-credit/a-as-level/

[honest ember]

The chances of getting into cs from pre-sciences are rlly low right

[trail jasper]

Dawg

I got mine

But i dont wanna ruin my day so imma wait

[blazing oasis]

Lmao

I got rejected

[trail jasper]

Its all g

Uw isnt even all that

If any oos students could lmk what their stats were that they used to apply for, please tell me and @ me

[near bison]

Rejected let’s go

[vocal dragon]

yes, i’m from brazil

[sonic socket]

This is exactly same like mine

[obsidian tapir]

@trail jasper just open it lol

[plucky carbon]

so does that mean I can take the courses offered by allens school then in my sophomore year or at the end of my freshman year I would apply to cs again? do you think I would have higher chance?

[urban wave]

rejected

[trail jasper]

Oh hellll nahhhhh

My gf wants to know so bad she asked for my uwid and pss

I just told her ill do it after school

I dont want my day to be ruined

[plucky carbon]

that’s just worse

[sly warren]

yeah lol

pst sorry

[forest jacinth]

Non toxic relationships be like

[vocal dragon]

congrats!! hope to see you there if both of us enroll

where r u from?

[sonic socket]

Indonesia…do you think it’s difficult to get to Foster if not direct admit?

Saw this article, don’t know if someone posted this before: https://plexuss.com/w/why-you-should-not-go-to-uw look like business is also competitive

[forest jacinth]

Tldr; there’s a lot of people and it’s competitive for some majors

[trail jasper]

Explain

Bc i think its sarcasm but im not really good at sarcasm lol

[forest jacinth]

She wants your login info ;-;

She needs to chill a little and let you check and tell her in your own time

[formal bluff]

bruh wl for bioengineering

[pallid glacier]

yeah they're really modern

[obsidian tapir]

For the people who got in for cs, was it into the college of arts and sciences

[serene pollen]

I did not, but from what I remember from previous posts yes it is

[plucky carbon]

its so confusing its college of arts and science but also paul G. allen school of computer science and engineering

[obsidian tapir]

💀 had me confused

[pallid glacier]

yeah so your degree is apparently granted through college of arts and sciences (as it's a B.S.) but you attend the Paul G. Allen School of CSE

there is no other CS at UW

just arts and sciences

so

if you got in that's the same as PGA

[obsidian tapir]

That's wack

[craggy atlas]

ok so like how many people here got accepted, waitlisted and rejected? I want to see a tentative acceptance rate for this year (don't @ me with ap stats talk i know my survey method is shit)

[near bison]

That depends on the major tho

Like cs is near impossible out of state

[halcyon cloud]

i got in for ce

computer eng

[tight granite]

React with your result ✅ 💤❌

[near bison]

Cool

[normal stone]

does financial info count as extenuating circumstances

[lone kraken]

Were you rejected?

[craggy atlas]

wdym by financial info

[normal stone]

yes

[normal stone]

like affordability and then i also have like mental health resources i don’t really want to leave behind and support systems

[craggy atlas]

you can't appeal your rejection just because you don't want to leave the state and uw is cheap 💀 usually people can only appeal if they had serious personal circumstances in high school or their grades and ECs seriously improved senior year and UW didn't see that in their original application

[lone kraken]

It wouldn’t hurt to try

[craggy atlas]

eh based on what they said it would likely be a waste of time unfortunately

[normal stone]

they said grades aren’t a good reason to appeal

like they won’t take grades

but i cannot afford college if i don’t go to uw

[normal stone]

they literally said this is what u cant appeal for

[craggy atlas]

oop i misread the passage as saying it's what you CAN appeal for my b 💀 either way UW being a good fit for you is sadly not a good reason to appeal

(asked my counselor about this a while ago)

[normal stone]

its not so much good fit but more of like somewhere i need or really want to go bc i know i will have the best experience close to home as well as leaving behind all the mental health support systems. as well as someone who applied to foster and didnt know they didnt take any foster freshman applicants this year it feels unfair

[lone kraken]

It literally cannot hurt to appeal so I would go for it. Maybe build a stronger argument though

It seems like this is really important to you so I would try to appeal for sure

[craggy atlas]

they took Foster applicants i know people who got in (both in state and oos) and yeah even if uw is in a good place to remain close to ur support system there are other colleges that are close too and uw knows this so unfortunately it won't be a super strong reason

[craggy atlas]

yeah try to find a super compelling reason if ur going to appeal but just a warning even if u do have a good reason it's still a major crapshoot

and it'll be worse this year cause of the sheer volume of applicants

[static basin]

anyone here get into informatics?

[trail jasper]

damn bro I waited and i just opened mine

I got rejected

[static basin]

for what major if you dont mind

[trail jasper]

engineering and arch and im oos

[static basin]

damn

what was ur UW gpa

its fine tho theyre gonna regret not having you

[trail jasper]

shi like a 3.7 ish

[static basin]

does UW care about ECs?

[trail jasper]

yea but i heard they mostly want good essays

[median plover]

i saw a lot of ppl on collegeconfidential say they had mid ECs

[static basin]

did they get in?

[median plover]

mine are mid in A2C standards but in my school’s context they’re good

yes

I think essays are important

[static basin]

im hella scared

[median plover]

my essay was good for them

[trail jasper]

did you not get yours?

[viral sphinx]

Did u still not open yours

[static basin]

no 😭

LMAO

[trail jasper]

lmfao im praying for you brother

[static basin]

thank you!

[dark fiber]

how do u appea

[normal stone]

wait until the form comes up on myuw

[dark fiber]

like the main app status

[normal stone]

they literally accepted some of the least smart people in my school

[dark fiber]

cuz there i don't see anything

[trail jasper]

^ i too would like to know

[normal stone]

and denied that smartest

they waitlisted our salutatorian

[static basin]

did anyone apply informatics? or know anyone that applied informatics?

[static basin]

thats wild

[normal stone]

they said it’ll come out in early march

[static basin]

this is early march

[trail jasper]

more like mid march lol

im still going to give uw a shot

[static basin]

its my dream school

[obsidian tapir]

Did u open it @trail jasper

[trail jasper]

yea i got a rejection

[obsidian tapir]

Oh damn that's tough

[viral sphinx]

Why

Just open it already

I think I waited like one minute to open my ed school

[dense oasis]

I legit have no idea how I was rejected 😭 I just wanted to do math

[viral sphinx]

Not a big deal if you get rejected

[dense oasis]

(not applied math)

[bitter flare]

CONGRATS!!!!

[dense oasis]

Asked my local UW admissions officer about the UW appeals policy bc I'm thinking their website is a little outdated (there's this one policy where UW officers would potentially admit you on SAT score) so we'll see

[weary vale]

I don’t understand why I got rejected for Biochem 😭

[blazing oasis]

isnt udub like a top 30 school in the world for the medical area lol

[craggy atlas]

yeah basically their hospital is really good too

[craggy atlas]

who got in 💀

[blazing oasis]

yeah i saw someone say yield protection

[weary vale]

I think it’s 9 or so but damnnnn

[blazing oasis]

Jeeesus

Thats insane

Udub is so underrated

[honest ember]

Does UW defer many ppl from CS to pre-sciences

[static basin]

i got in!!

lets go

my dream college

anyone know where i can find the scholarship info?

[worn dagger]

I don't think UW yield protects for instate at least

[worn dagger]

I heard so

word of warning from one of my seniors who went to UW as pre sciences

if you wanna transfer into CS it's nigh impossible

like you have to maintain a 4.0 or something in the weedout classes

which is not easy

and then there's a bunch of other reqs too

[viral sphinx]

it will say on ur portal if u got one

[worn dagger]

hey guys btw

if you're gonna visit UW

come in a few weeks

when the cherry blossoms bloom

it's beautiful

and also

if you like indian food there's a great restaurant in seattle downtown called the cricket club

it's kinda pricey

but good food

also noi thai

and araya thai

definitely check em out if you're in the area 👍

[static basin]

like the main one?

the main portal?

[cobalt moon]

ppl who are oos all 4 years get hte scholarship right

[umbral scaffold]

So I got accepted but I know soooo many kids at my school got waitlisted :\

[cobalt moon]

also how can you be qualified for in state tuition after the first year

is it possible to like get an apartment or smtg

or are there other ways to do it

[worn dagger]

seattle apartments are pretty expensive though

you might like

save more money just paying oos tuition

unless you get roomies

ofc

[cobalt moon]

hmm

thats fair

if you have famiily there or like friends

could you say thats ur house

and get in state

[worn dagger]

hmm

[cobalt moon]

there are ways to do it right

[worn dagger]

that seems kinda shady tbh lol

but

[cobalt moon]

well yea

[worn dagger]

you should email the finaid office

[cobalt moon]

but like

its a pretty penny at the end of the day

fair enough

[worn dagger]

with careful wording

[cobalt moon]

👍

[viral sphinx]

yes

[static basin]

okay cool thanks i just didn’t even see it bc i jumped out of my seat LMAO

[worn dagger]

LOL

[obsidian tapir]

I heard the scholarship was for oos

[viral sphinx]

yes it is

[rare tendon]

im coming in 2 weeks most likely

hopefully theres not too much snow on the drive up

[worn dagger]

yeah there won't be

probably

the passes are paved pretty frequently

or not paved

sorry

ploughed

lol

[rare tendon]

LMAO

[worn dagger]

brainfart

[rare tendon]

plowed*

[worn dagger]

oops

I should get some sleep 😔

ty

[rare tendon]

lmao

[craggy atlas]

straight copium 😭 uw probably hasn't yield protected since 2001

[vocal canopy]

@livid crest i saw your question in #👻-the-medium-place one of my school friends supposedly got waitlisted for cs

[livid crest]

ah interesting

good to know thanks

[vocal canopy]

np!

[cobalt moon]

how difficult would a minor in CS be

[craggy atlas]

i don't think uw offers a minor in cs but let me check (as the unofficial uw college counselor that i am)

yeah unfortunately no ca

[cobalt moon]

it’s chill cuz informatics is there asw as data science

[craggy atlas]

yeah that's true for sure

[obsidian tapir]

Ya same with most colleges

[forest jacinth]

I don’t want to be rude, but saying stuff like this isn’t very cool. If people get in, they obviously presented themself well and are smart enough to do well there. Saying that they only accept dumb people is not the best way to cope

[vocal canopy]

this is really unrelated but i'm curious if anyone didn't use their personal statement for the uw essay

because i remember the prompt was something like "tell us a story about yourself" and my ps just barely fit into that prompt

[lapis hazel]

lmfao

thats exactly what i did

[maiden wraith]

salty 🧂 ?

[craggy atlas]

oh yeah absolutely

lmao copy pasted that shit so hard

[weary vale]

Oh shit this made me realize I may have not answered the uw supplemental 💀

[glacial forum]

Anyone got into foster?

[lone kraken]

One or two people in here did

[sonic socket]

Can anyone see the pdf version of the acceptance letter?

[lone kraken]

I’m not sure if people have access to it. Would a ss work just as well?

[worn dagger]

is there a pdf version??

all I see is the ugly html page with all the stuff

[median plover]

I wrote a new essay

because my personal statement was about my idiosyncrasies and my major

[static basin]

did anyone get physical acceptance mail?

[solemn wedge]

i didnt !

i felt like mt ps didnt align with the uw prompt enough 💀 i also know it was REALLY common for people to write completely new essays for their uw app, like most of my friends who applied (im instate so like … everyone around me applied) all reworte theirs

[patent fossil]

My personal essay fit in perfectly with one of the supps I remember

So i put in my personal essay there and chose that option to not consider my personal essay from common app

[bitter flare]

not yet. I bet they’re sending it out but it’ll prob take a while

[static basin]

did anyone get into computer science

direct?

[obsidian tapir]

Si

[static basin]

if you dont mind can you show what the portal says for you? i just want to compare what the portal says

where it says additional applicant information

[obsidian tapir]

Ya lemme go look

[static basin]

thank you!

[static basin]

okay cool

same thing for me

thanks

[obsidian tapir]

👍

[edgy token]

hii just poppin in here to say general admissions doesn’t have a preference for majors, only direct admission does, your chances of getting into the school don’t depend on which major you selected as your preference, but your admission as a direct admit does

[craggy atlas]

a few kids in state got physical acceptances before digital ones but not many

[craggy atlas]

you go to uw right?

[edgy token]

yupp

currently finals week we r all dying 🫠

[craggy atlas]

what's up with the AveVengers 😭😭

am i gonna get high key murdered

[static basin]

whats that

[static basin]

arent you almost done with the school year?

[edgy token]

the who? the ave is just a street with a lot of food, yes there’s a lot of sus stuff that goes on there, but during the daytime it’s totally safe and even walking there at night it’s not bad

[edgy token]

no we end in june, we have a quarter system

so this is winter finals and then we have spring quarter

[static basin]

wait how long is ur winterbreak?

[static basin]

oh i see

[edgy token]

1.5-2 weeks very short

[craggy atlas]

I was on UW's subreddit and asked if there was anything i should know and like 8 people listed vagrants on the Ave wielding weird weapons

[static basin]

whattt

ohhh nah

[patent fossil]

I've heard Washington has a lot of homeless people. Does it become a safety issue?

[edgy token]

i prefer it, honestly, i would not like going to a school with a semester system

[edgy token]

yes there is an alarming homeless problem in seattle, but the campus is entirely safe. i’ve never felt unsafe when on campus, there’s been some times when i’m off campus in the surrounding seattle area that have been sus, but as long as you aren’t going out alone at 2am to seattle downtown you’ll be fine

[patent fossil]

oh ok, thanks.

[edgy token]

i do get notifications like these all the time tho 😭 never end up hearing about any of this on the news which is weird

[patent fossil]

damn 💀

[edgy token]

honestly, i do really like it here, and if anyone has any questions about UW i’d be happy to answer

[raw socket]

Anyone got in and is now waitlist for CS but still pre sciences?

[patent fossil]

waitlist for CS and prescience?

I applied CE and CS

Admitted as pre-sciences

nothing about a waitlist

[raw socket]

Someone on college confidential is apparently waitlist for cs

But already in as pre sciences

[patent fossil]

oh

[raw socket]

KillKam
5h
I applied to CS but got pre sciences. Today I got an email from UW saying that I am being waitlisted for CS. What does that mean? Does getting pre sciences mean waitlisted ? What are my chances now?

[patent fossil]

For me they just said I'm admitted but not guaranteed CE.

[raw socket]

Same

[patent fossil]

I wanted ACMS anyways

which also seems tough to get

first year grind 😭

[edgy token]

pre sciences does not mean waitlist, i’ve never heard of being waitlisted to direct admit but getting into general admissions, maybe if you send the email you got over pm i can help you figure out what it means? up to you

[raw socket]

Yea same, I have not heard of it either . I would send an email but it was a comment from another user

I was just wondering if anyone else has the same thing

[edgy token]

wdym a comment from another user?

[raw socket]

Someone posted that on college confidential

[edgy token]

ah, i strongly believe it is not true

[raw socket]

Yea, I figured

Otherwise uw would say something on their site

[edgy token]

because being a direct admit is a merit thing due to capacity constraints, they give out all the direct admit spots at the same time as general admissions

there’s a lot of misinformation about uw’s admission process just because it’s very different from other schools

[fast crescent]

Did anyone who applied to cs but was given prescience’s get an email today saying they were on the cs waitlist

Damn I should’ve just scrolled up lol

This is what the email looks like @raw socket

@edgy token

[vocal canopy]

i see, that makes sense!

[vocal canopy]

huh pretty interesting, thanks for letting me know :) i'm happy that sense that my ps was pretty much a story

[stray cosmos]

got that today

i asked my friends - not all of them got it

[fast crescent]

It seems kinda rare from asking friends and scouring the internet

[stray cosmos]

Yeah the good thing is that u don’t have to commit to uw

[fast crescent]

That’s the waitlist for the university

Not cs lol

[stray cosmos]

Idk what that was supposed to prove anyway💀

But yeah

U don’t have to commit

[serene pollen]

does anyone know what the percentages are for cs vs ce applicants?

[stray cosmos]

They let u know like mid may to July 30

[stray cosmos]

The same cuz it’s the same school probably

[obsidian tapir]

Cs for in state is 25%

According to last year

I bet CE is also the same as Adam said

[bronze rose]

whats neuro da oos?

[low yarrow]

whats the acceptance rate for pre-sciences oos

is it 50% thats what i heard from someone

also can u go from pre-sciences to cs?

[raw socket]

Very hard if not impossible

[static basin]

is there any way that i can get my udub edu email?

[low yarrow]

hmm ok

[strange axle]

its emails are forwarded to the email you put on your college app. You’ll get full access to it once you enroll and are a student I think

[tacit marlin]

Any place to submit locis?

[bronze rose]

email ur regional ao

[cobalt moon]

is there a discord for admitted kids for co '27

[forest jacinth]

Yeah I think so but I don’t have the link

[cobalt moon]

😭

how bad is grade deflation at UW lol

[worn dagger]

it's overhyped

once you get past the intro classes (which are arguably weedouts) most of the major classes are curved generously

You shouldn't have a problem maintaining a high GPA

especially if you got direct to major admission

and you have credits to skip some of the intro courses

(thru AP)

[cobalt moon]

ahh ok

ok but if your a bio major

then you dont have direct to major

so then id have to do the weeder classes

[obsidian tapir]

Weeder classes aren't intro classes

[sonic zephyr]

is that even in uw bothell?

btw did u get in uw seattle @worn dagger ?

[worn dagger]

yes sir

[worn dagger]

nope, uw bothell's not tooo bad

in terms of academic rigour

did I spell that right? maybe idk lol

[worn dagger]

ah well in any event what i've heard is that the intro classes are exceptionally difficult

or a large majority

[static basin]

so you’re saying if you get direct admit into UW it is pretty easy to maintain a high gpa ? @worn dagger

[worn dagger]

well

not easy, but if you put in the work you will get a good GPA

you won't get screwed over by a bs curve

[sonic zephyr]

oh ok

[sonic zephyr]

grats

i got rejected

but i wasn't too surprised anyway since my stats and ecs are prob not the best and even people with way better stats and ecs didn't get in

[worn dagger]

dw UW admissions is like

the m ost random thing ever

[sonic zephyr]

yeah

[worn dagger]

my usaco plat friend didn't get in

[sonic zephyr]

that's why i said even people with way better stats and ecs didn't get in

[worn dagger]

yep

it's super dumb

[sonic zephyr]

damn

btw i applied for business not cs or engineering

[worn dagger]

ah ic ic

[obsidian tapir]

I mean most colleges want the intro classes to be intro

They aren't gonna drive you away 💀

Weedout classes come later on as you settle on a track u think you'll like but then the class makes you question your ability

[worn dagger]

well true, but I've heard that at UW, in order to get ppl to not choose the more popular majors, they make the intro classes harder than normal

[obsidian tapir]

Rare uw L

[raw socket]

The calculus courses at UW are a lot harder

[astral flame]

Do da to cs still have to go thru the weedout intro classes?

[median plover]

same w/ psych?

[worn dagger]

well

are you asking about transferring to CS ?

my expertise (if you can call it that) is strictly limited to CS lol

bc that's my major

in any event

if that's what you're asking

transferring to CS is notoriously difficult

nigh impossible

if you didn't get direct to paul allen and are only ok with doing CS as a major, don't come to UW

because it's far from guaranteed

if you're ok doing some tangentially related major (like IT) then go for it

[astral flame]

I meant like if u were directly admitted into cs as a freshmen

Like do u still have to take the super hard intro classes

[worn dagger]

well I believe like you have to take intro to programming I / II if you don't have AP credit to waive those

however if you took CSP / CSA and got a 4 or above on both

you can jump directly to intro to programming III

which is not that bad apparently

[solemn wedge]

does anyone know how quickly you can change majors? i applied and was accepted into marine bio but i had a BIG change of career choice and want to pursue early childhood and family studies. is it possible to change majors before the semester starts?

[balmy laurel]

you should probably contact someone at UW for that

[umbral scaffold]

I'm pretty sure that UW it's a much longer process to change majors (comparatively)...

[covert vector]

Wait is this uw or wustl

I’m so dumb

I subbed to the wrong thread

[patent fossil]

uw seattle

[covert vector]

Damn

[last bay]

wustl is Washington university st Louis I believe

[cobalt moon]

https://discord.com/channels/786557653924708373/1054270836099522621

@covert vector

[last bay]

But for UW we instate usually refer it as udube or UW. Any one that calls it uwashu hurts me

Like I feel physical pain from it

[forest jacinth]

Fr lmao

[covert vector]

Ty!

Wishing you guys the best of luck ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[static basin]

anyone get mail for acceptance?

[vocal canopy]

not yet

[west latch]

Got pre-sciences :/

Everywhere ive looked said that if you get admitted pre-sciences and want to go into a capacity constrained major you shouldnt attend UDub

What’re your guys’ thought on it

[vocal canopy]

you mean you were admitted pre-sciences but not cs? i would not attend

[scenic moat]

Yup

[west latch]

Even if i am interested in ACMS or AMath as well?

[vocal canopy]

if it is something that you want to major in, that's fine- i was under the impression that a lot of people here who apply cs are not willing to study something else

[obsidian tapir]

Really depends what ur other options are

[vocal canopy]

i think it's just this ^ is like telling you there is little to no chance you will be able to major in cs as a pre-science only

[worn dagger]

yeah

[worn dagger]

amath is different

I think that's a different school altogether

in which case yeah come to UW

but for CS do not unless you are comfortable doing some tangentially related major

it is extremely hard to get into cs if you're not direct admit

even with a 4.0

[west latch]

I think its gonna really end uo coming down to where i get accepted to, if i admitted to a school w a fantastic cs program im fs gonna go there for it but on the off chance i only get into safeties, ill prolly end up doin that

[low yarrow]

is there an acceptance rate for pre-sciences if so what is it for oos?

[forest jacinth]

I don’t know but I imagine it’s closer to the overall acceptance rate than the cs acceptance rate

[stone wing]

is UW considered prestigious

[worn dagger]

In CS it's very prestigious

only really beaten by Berkeley, CMU, MIT, and Stanford

[umbral scaffold]

Also very prestigious for its nursing and engineering, although engineering it's just "very good"

[last bay]

ok this might be a stupid question but how do I view like how much aid I got

like finical aid

[lone kraken]

I think it was emailed out but I’m not too sure

[jaunty dawn]

Anyone who applied for honors get a decision yet?

[last bay]

Yep I did

Got rejected

[static basin]

where did you see it?

@last bay

[last bay]

I was emailed

On Friday

[median plover]

i applied to honors but no update yet

[cobalt moon]

rip

[static basin]

anyone get financial aid back?

[bitter flare]

not yet, they emailed me saying “join the pack” but nothing about finaid. when did you do your fafsa?

[static basin]

i did my fafsa before priority deadline

and yeah i also got the "join the pack" email

not so sure when they give back fin aid

hopefully they give me good amounts

[tight geyser]

so if we haven’t heard from honors yet then we either got waitlisted or accepted?

[edgy token]

you need to take the intro bio classes regardless, direct admission doesnt let you bypass classes it lets you bypass major admissions (for life sciences majors like bio)

[cobalt moon]

ok thanks i just wanted a better understanding tysm

[edgy token]

this...is not true

[cobalt moon]

in terms of like pre sciences and all

[edgy token]

this is true to an extent

[edgy token]

getting admitted as a premajor is the same admission rate for getting admitted to the school

[edgy token]

this is true, my friend just did it though and she did not have a 4.0 but i think demonstrated very strong potential

[sonic zephyr]

is this channel just for uw seattle, or can it be abt uw bothell too?

[brisk radish]

i just visited uw seattle

it is a very nice campus

[obsidian tapir]

did u catch the cherry blossoms? idk if they are on full effect rn but when they are, its amazing

[brisk radish]

the campus was quiet af bc spring break

but beautiful nonetheless

[brisk radish]

uhh they are hitting next week i think

didnt see much :(

[viral sphinx]

do students get to eat the cherries then

[maiden wraith]

i dont think cherries grow from cherry blossoms

[obsidian tapir]

😢

[obsidian tapir]

fr pink cherries fr

[rare tendon]

yes they do lol

but idk if they’re edible cherries

or the other kind

[maiden wraith]

https://www.allaboutgardening.com/cherry-trees-vs-cherry-blossoms/#:~:text=Essentially%2C both trees are related,other in the opposing category.

its the other kind

[rare tendon]

oh

[obsidian tapir]

didnt even know cherries grew on cherry blossoms

i thought they were just pink flowers

[viral sphinx]

its in the name...

[rare tendon]

bruh

[rare tendon]

fr

[rare tendon]

how did you think they reproduce?

[obsidian tapir]

idk

[rare tendon]

they use flowers for pollination and fruits as seeds

[maiden wraith]

stanny should have a lot of fruit trees

right

[rare tendon]

like literally every plant

[rare tendon]

probably

[maiden wraith]

their mascot is a farm or something

[viral sphinx]

their mascot is a tree 💀

[rare tendon]

kinda

[viral sphinx]

it is

it is like a christmas tree or something

how does such a top uni have such a lame mascot

[rare tendon]

its not official though

they dont have an official mascot

[viral sphinx]

that's even worse then

[rare tendon]

yeah

[obsidian tapir]

? What

Ig the tree is the band's mascot but kinda been the school's as well

[rare tendon]

yea but its not official

[trail jasper]

Anyone here get rejected but going to appeal?

[west latch]

Can i appeal if i didnt ger into my major but did get into the college?

[raw socket]

no

[west latch]

Fug

[dense oasis]

MEEEE

I just appealed 😳

Math major

[trail jasper]

IM APPEALING TOOOO

HOPEFULLY WE ALL GET IN AND INTO OUR DESIRED MAJORS (I would be happy if I get accepted into the uni but not my major 💀 )

[dense oasis]

yipppeeeeee

[trail jasper]

If you don't mind me asking, how many words was your appeal?

[dense oasis]

950

about

you can go up to 1000

If you do less or more than 950 (but less than 1000) it really doesn't matter

its more abt content

so I just bragged about things I've done since applying, and expanded upon things I said in my application that have changed or improved since

[trail jasper]

thats basically what im doing lol

Im thinking of adding something like "and if you don't accept me, you will regret not having such a determined individual who has fought as hard as he could to earn an education" or something along the lines of that

[dense oasis]

I just said I was thankful for the opportunity to apply again and I asked them to reconsider. I gave that same sentiment by showing them what they were missing out on instead of telling them bc then it made me sound less arrogant. I mean,, idk if what I even have is worth the major but I think it is so I sent the appeal

like "over the course of the year, [x], and [y], and [z]" just throw shit that you've done + and are proud of

[low yarrow]

is the appeal form on the app status i can't find it

also how hard is it to get approved for cs appeal im thinking like less than 1% how far off am I

[dense oasis]

it's all up in the air. If you've got new circumstances and things to talk about, I'd say appeal. Otherwise, if you're just appealing and you've got nothing new to add, then probably 0

[low yarrow]

well i have stuff to add, but idk how substantial it is

[dense oasis]

add it. it's all a crapshoot, and what you think is not-very-substantial might be (or it might not!) if you the have the time, it doesn't hurt

[low yarrow]

how long is the form though and where can u find it?

[dense oasis]

https://admit.washington.edu/apply/freshman/i-applied/special-admission-appeal/

[dense oasis]

You need to submit your transcripts and a written response (up to 1000 words)

no rec letters

[low yarrow]

transcripts for what

where is the appeal form?

[worn dagger]

wait is there an admitted students discord for UW

[trail jasper]

Bro wtf is this, i didnt even get accepted now they want me to do this??

Anyone here know what this is about

[viral sphinx]

it says uw bothell

this is not seattle campus

oh nvm

it just says it for all emails

[bitter flare]

i got something similar i think it’s about finaid

[trail jasper]

Yea thats weird

Did u get accepted? If yea then that would make sense but i got rejected

[bitter flare]

yeah I did

[bitter flare]

i think it may just be for alternate uw campuses

[trail jasper]

Most likely

Im still going to do it eitherway since i wanna appeal

[bitter flare]

you got this bro you’re getting in go huskies

[molten solstice]

whens UW finaid coming out

[umbral scaffold]

It'll come with your UW acceptance package, which is being sent via physical mail.

[low yarrow]

how do you appeal

[trail jasper]

Theres a link if you scroll up a little that shows you where to appeal

Then just follow the simple steps and instructions to send in the appeal

[obsidian tapir]

😭have y'all seen uw as uwash

I'd like to think I'm close enough to uw to know what it's called 💀

[median plover]

no

[obsidian tapir]

No clue what they were tryna say lol

[molten solstice]

u wash

washu

washU in seattle

[median plover]

that'd just make it even more confusing w/ washu

[molten solstice]

university of washington in st louis

[obsidian tapir]

Send that lmfao

[median plover]

nah i dont wanna clog the channel

[obsidian tapir]

You're a better man than I am

Until they mentioned it, I didn't know UW Madison was a thing 💀

Thought it was just Tacoma and bothell

[median plover]

lol

OH

UW MADISON IS WISCONSIN LOL

NOT WASHINGTON

uw madison is dumb (deferred me EA)

University of Wisconsin, like the badgers

that's their main campus

[obsidian tapir]

Lmfao bro was tryna come up with an acronym for a school in Wisconsin 💀

[viral sphinx]

it is called uw madison not uw

[median plover]

yes

[viral sphinx]

and who calls uw uwash

[obsidian tapir]

Ong

[viral sphinx]

i guess washu simps

[obsidian tapir]

💀

[viral sphinx]

and then there are those who call washu wustl 💀

[obsidian tapir]

Ew

Anyways anyone else hear from the honors program?

[median plover]

nah

[viral sphinx]

didnt apply

[obsidian tapir]

Maybe it is on rolling

[median plover]

i think it is bc it says we'll be notified between mar 15 and apr 15

[obsidian tapir]

Oh must be

I had no idea it was so few spots open

[low yarrow]

anyeon get in for cs
