im only doing cs to make the 2027 CL final and watch us win it

[round yarrow]

Nah 2025

We’re getting revenge on fraudpool this time

[outer geyser]

meets every single weekday

trying to convince myself the workload will be too much
but 15 credits from a single class is too enticing 😭

[outer geyser]

bro tryna do hs classes

[vagrant flint]

it’s a 9 am class too

but apparently only lecture sections afaik? i didn’t see a quiz section in myplan for it

[outer geyser]

it’s only projects?

[vagrant flint]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

monday-friday, 9:10-12:30

[outer geyser]

ain’t no way u would do that bruh

[vapid vessel]

is there an accepted student gc on ig?

[scarlet tinsel]

Note that is three quarters' worth of material crammed into like 9 weeks, so you're going three times as fast. That shouldn't diminish your interest, but make you aware that the work you do won't necessarily be super easy!

[round yarrow]

they have like this zeemee app

though its not just cs

[raw sparrow]

Guys . UW ENGINEERING or purdue engineering

Aerospace(from second year onwards )

[vale pewter]

instate or oos?

[raw sparrow]

International

[vagrant flint]

yuppp

kinda why id wanna do it

but i think i’ll be better off doing 101-3

[wet folio]

bro just got bitched😭

[vagrant flint]

also as a heads up for any allen school admits:

[sturdy agate]

hi guys!! I got into CS from Brazil and am thinkin bout attending it. Just wondering, is the weather too depressive?

[scarlet tinsel]

Well rip me. I got my final exam score back... scored a 76% on my fin acctg but my final score went from a 3.9 to a 3.4 💀

Welcome to UW

[scarlet tinsel]

During October-February, yes it is always overcast and not amazing, but once it becomes spring and the sun comes, it's absolutely beautiful and everyone loves seattle.

[scarlet tinsel]

ngl why do they have to have student's admitted day during a weekend when all of us are here studying for midterms 💀

[sturdy agate]

that's nice to know. I've seen a few photos and it's absolutely stunning!!

is it too cold tho?

i'm used to 20°C - 40°C

lmao

[sharp umbra]

in washington like 60 f is good

60-70

it goes higher in the summer

[sturdy agate]

well it's doable, that'd be like 15°C

[sharp umbra]

washington is raining 70% of the year

not known for high temps

[vagrant flint]

sometimes it’ll be much colder

[vagrant flint]

i promise i will just observe and try not to interrupt 🫡

[fossil oxide]

i will be bringing a trumpet and making enemies

[storm fox]

Does UW provide scholarship to international students?

[scarlet tinsel]

this winter was moderately cold. It usually goes down to around 40 degrees F, but there was a week that hit like -3 lol. (which is rare)

[scarlet tinsel]

try to find me, i'll be there somewhere hehehe

[storm fox]

If so, what is the highest amount that they do?

[sturdy agate]

😬

thought I'd go to the beach often

[vagrant flint]

oh yeah theres beaches

it’s just gonna be cold on them

😅

[sturdy agate]

🥶

[vagrant flint]

its so pretty in the summer though, especially near gasworks park

[sturdy agate]

[sturdy agate]

woahh

are u attending uw?

[scarlet tinsel]

I've met a lot of international students who said they got used to it. One of them is from Brazil and they're only here for three months and got used to it during the coldest months... now they're leaving to go back to the heat

[vagrant flint]

not currently but i’m in the seattle area (or close enough to it)

[sturdy agate]

that's so cool, nice to know

they'll have a thermal shock, it's around 90° f here

[sharp umbra]

washington summers are hot and winters are cold

[sturdy agate]

nice

[sharp umbra]

it’s 80 90 in the summers

and like 30 in the winters

[sturdy agate]

wow huge difference

[scarlet tinsel]

well washington it really depends on what part of the state you are. eastern wa gets a lot cooler than western wa

mountains completely change how wind patterns flow

[slate lotus]

Meow

[outer geyser]

bro why do i not get these emails

[vagrant flint]

try checking your @uw.edu email

[fervent rampart]

Ok uw I didn’t want to go to your school anyways

[scarlet tinsel]

i'm so sorry!! but dw -- 99% of people here agree that uw's honors program is pretty trash lol

my roommate quit honors so that he could pursue a double major in classics and math. and he's one of the smartest people i know.

but you didn't want to go to uw anyways 😭

danggg

[frail dune]

yo what it just came in

damn did they send it to everyone together??

i gotta check it

didnt get the mail damn

but im intl, id need a miracle to make it in the first place

[fervent rampart]

That’s ok I wasn’t planning on going anyways 😭 hopefully the people who got in do have a better experience than your roommate

[fervent rampart]

WWW

[fervent rampart]

Yes

[frail dune]

didnt get it yet maybe i will soon enough

have all acceptances been sent out?

[scarlet tinsel]

no it's pretty universal most people who keep honors only do it for grad school lol

[vagrant flint]

where would we see the honors decisions

they just come out through email i thought

[scarlet tinsel]

I don't actually know since I'm not familiar with Honors -- I would guess MyUW under the Academics tab.

[frail dune]

just came out

les go

rejected baby

[fervent rampart]

Ohh

[vagrant flint]

i got nothing

[crystal eagle]

lmfao

[hardy wigeon]

If admitted to UW you will receive a separate decision email from the Honors Program between March 15 and April 15. ‼️‼️‼️
So for yall worrying/wondering about Honors, there’s at max another month of waiting.

https://honors.uw.edu/apply/first-year/notification-window/#:~:text=If admitted to UW you,in access to FAFSA information.

[azure cloak]

Email

?

I got nothing yet

[vagrant flint]

they’ll be sent in an email

[hardy wigeon]

Someone’s gotta pin my text 💀
Anyway don’t stress if you got nothing yet they don’t come out all at the same time; in fact, they’ll be rolling up until April 19th

[brisk sun]

does anyone know the deadline to fill out waitlist form? and do we have to do anything additional or do we just add ourselves to the waitlist

[fervent rampart]

They started sending

[slate lotus]

https://tenor.com/view/like-a-dragon-yakuza-tole-tole-mei-mei-tole-tole-cat-gif-13267161800197670066

[hardy wigeon]

Yeppers but they prolly come out in waves

[vagrant flint]

@scarlet tinsel is there any benefit to committing early

[scarlet tinsel]

I think that one of the bigger benefits is if you want to get housing. I think that housing options open fairly early (like in May or so) and those can get pretty competitive. If you want to get a good dorm at least.

Half of the dorms have private bathrooms, and have have communal bathrooms.

[vagrant flint]

i found my old promotional papers from uw and the allen school specifically

they're....... something lol

[vapid vessel]

Is there a difference in committing now vs committing in late march in terms of that

[scarlet tinsel]

It’s not an incredible difference

[vale pewter]

Another person saying the same thing has already been pinned lol

But yeah i right receive an honors email yet

im deleting this because it doesn't seem to be true!

@fervent rampart @frail dune sorry for ping but you guys got an email through the email you submitted your application right?

like not a @uw.edu email

[fervent rampart]

Yeah my normal email

[vale pewter]

okay

yeah i only got an email about admitted students day rip

[scarlet tinsel]

Ok I don’t know what you deleted but cool

[vale pewter]

you said all honors decisions were out

[round yarrow]

rejected by UW honors

its kind of dumb ngl

[scarlet tinsel]

ahh whoops.

[round yarrow]

no point in doing honors

like im already in cs

so I dont need any other major

[scarlet tinsel]

Lol well I completely agree but don't necessarily need to trash on it if you didn't get in. Only 2.5% got in soo

[round yarrow]

bro I aint salty

im not that type of guy

im not like a toxic person about apps

im glad it went to somebody else in more need

[scarlet tinsel]

Ok

[vagrant flint]

would you say there’s any upside to doing honors

[round yarrow]

if ur in pre sciences ig it helps you get good classes to apply to majors

but besides that not rlly unless u wantan ego boost

[sharp umbra]

how does that work

is it js an extra essay lol

[round yarrow]

dont know

dont care though

im so happy I got into UW

[frail dune]

no worries and yeah it was forwarded to both

[vale pewter]

where's my UW honors decision

[nimble rampart]

2.5% of students get into honors???

[scarlet tinsel]

according to the email sent out that someone got

[nimble rampart]

Jeez!

That’s not very easy

[scarlet tinsel]

not at all lol

[nimble rampart]

@scarlet tinsel

That’s around 15% if you use the 7k number

[azure cloak]

Real

[scarlet tinsel]

ahh.. the email I read said "there were 10,000 applications for 225 spots" (225 is what i remember but could be different)

so accepted vs. attending is definitely likely different

but similarly small

[nimble rampart]

Yeah def small

[vale pewter]

email for reference ^

[nimble rampart]

You got this in an email or in the portal?

[vapid vessel]

@scarlet tinsel What is the difference between pre sciences and pre humanities and pre social sciences

like can pre humanities try and declare a science major

[frail dune]

Email

[nimble rampart]

Scary

[frail dune]

Yeah Oxford also rejected me over email, those feel the worst💀

It feels like breaking up with someone over text💀

[round yarrow]

wut

why r u pinging me

[scarlet tinsel]

No difference! Just something for you to call yourself lol

You can declare a STEM major as a pre humanities and a humanities as a pre-sciences

[vapid vessel]

okay thanks man

[torpid oyster]

do all pre-engineering majors live at maple hall?

[round yarrow]

bro

they are assigning residency by majors?

wtf is this

[scarlet tinsel]

Only if you choose to live in academic residential housing. You can choose not to.

I as an Informatics student live with someone studying Civil Engineering and another studying Classics/Math

[round yarrow]

bro aint no way

[cobalt junco]

Why would anybody go to college to study books like I’m genuinely curious what careers can you get from learning about books

Or people who major in like Chinese what jobs can you get from those degrees

[vale pewter]

a lot of jobs don't require specific majors they just need a degree

Tbh you can do law school, work in media, PR, politics

[cobalt junco]

Yeah that’s true

But like going to law school shows you actually know something, but like studying books doesn’t mean a whole lot

I’m just genuinely curious

Not knocking down anyone’s majors

[vale pewter]

For law school specifically you don't need a major

So if your end goal is law, might as well spend four years studying what you like, no?

[torpid oyster]

Ohh ok thank you

[plucky jasper]

Has anybody gotten their acceptance package?

[vague pier]

nah

[vagrant flint]

heard a strange case today

one of my friends said she got into info despite putting it as her second choice

[cobalt junco]

Wait really

Does she have proof?

[vagrant flint]

i was just talking to her at a restaurant so i’m not entirely sure; the way she worded it was somewhat confusing too

according to her, she

• put engineering first, info second on her application
• after she submitted it, she contacted the admissions office and said she wanted to change her first choice to cs (which is a bit iffy?)
• apparently they said that was doable (also iffy? not sure if they can just change it like that)
• then when she got her decision it said she got into the info school

[cobalt junco]

That’s weird

Maybe they changed her first choice to info

Like when she said cs maybe they changed it to cs

[scarlet tinsel]

An anomalous case fs

[reef abyss]

Anyone else get honors college decision today?

[vagrant flint]

not that i've seen

its a slow rollout process

have you?

[reef abyss]

Yeah I just got mine

Their email said 10000 applied for 225 spots

[cold dune]

yes! mine also said that

[vagrant flint]

either of you get accepted?

[cold dune]

yeah

[reef abyss]

Yeah I got in

[vagrant flint]

oh awesome

[reef abyss]

I’m like shaking bro

[fervent rampart]

W

They rejected me yesterday but I’m about to reject uw though so who’s the real loser 🙄

[weak pilot]

is washington ur first choice

[round yarrow]

bro am @sharp umbra

[reef abyss]

pretty much

[round yarrow]

hop on fortnite

[reef abyss]

im waiting for ivy day but im in state for uw and i want to be kinda close to home

[lapis solar]

how's grading for cs

somebody i konw who went to uw said there was grade deflation but is this true for cs

[boreal elk]

isnt it by like percentile

or sm

[lapis solar]

yea they said instead it was like only certain amounts of people could get a's and b's

idk if that counts as deflation 💀 but

i'd prefer a percentile system more

yeah for cs it looked like majority 3.9?

but it was kinda like distributed everywhere

[vagrant flint]

allen school has a luncheon on april 20th (requires registration, as well as registration to the general admitted students day)

[foggy urchin]

same here

[foggy urchin]

what are your stats, if you don't mind me asking? 😅

[reef abyss]

4.0 1430 and like straight 3s on all my aps

lmao

but im from low income school so that was probably part of it

[foggy urchin]

lol
those are good stats though

[reef abyss]

yeah ig not bad

[foggy urchin]

my shame is that i have a 3.994
i am literally .001 away from being able to round up

good job with yours lol

[reef abyss]

thanks bro

[reef abyss]

hey at least you got accepted thats all that matters

[foggy urchin]

hbu @cold dune ?

[rugged nest]

no because 3.994 rounds to 3.99 and 3.99 rounds to 4.00

thats what i tell myself everyday

that or freshman grades definitely dont matter

[foggy urchin]

FR
it was in health too 😭

[rugged nest]

noo 😭 not health

mine was freshman civics smh

[reef abyss]

🥲

[foggy urchin]

🫂

[reef abyss]

theres always one class

[foggy urchin]

i was talking about it in my ap research and my teacher (who is mega chill) was like "yeah i never forgot how i just barely missed a 4.0. it sucks" and i'm like ma'am you aren't helping 😭

[cold dune]

4.0, 1570, 16 aps with mostly 4s and a few 5s

[rugged nest]

damn

[reef abyss]

damn

[rugged nest]

that explains the a/r rate

[foggy urchin]

wow!
16???
slay lol

ur the first person i've seen with more than me (15)

[rugged nest]

@foggy urchin youre in state?

[reef abyss]

i think my school only has 15

[cold dune]

aww ty :)

[foggy urchin]

mhm!

[foggy urchin]

hbu?

[rugged nest]

same lol

[foggy urchin]

nice

[rugged nest]

i cant help but wonder if i know anyone here irl 💀

then i think i dont really wanna know

ive said too many suspicious things

[meager flax]

uh so not only did i get played by uwash but also rejected by washu

[haughty zephyr]

Is ece at udub worth it

[rugged nest]

😔 wishing you good luck for the rest of your decisions

[nimble rampart]

Got into honors!!!

Is it easy or hard for honors?

Also any perks at all?

[sturdy agate]

sorry, but did we have to apply after we sent the application? 😭 I'm kinda lost here

[vagrant flint]

it was a separate essay that you had to fill out on the application itself

[sturdy agate]

ahh

[vagrant flint]

they had 10k applicants for honors, they’ll accept a few from that pool of 10k, and then of those acceptances they’ll have room for 225 people in the program itself

[sturdy agate]

oh yeah I remember

thanks

i don't think I applied 😅

[sturdy agate]

omg you're jasmine 🤩 I'm rapunzel

[reef abyss]

theres a couple honors scholarships that they announce starting like april 15 or something

theres some other stuff with the program itself but its all on their website

[nimble rampart]

Oh sweet

[nimble rampart]

Says they should’ve been in the email

[reef abyss]

im pretty sure its different this year because of fafsa

but im not 100 percent sure on that

[nimble rampart]

Maybe I’ll email and find out

[reef abyss]

yeah sounds like a good idea. lmk if you hear anything about it

[foggy urchin]

is the 10k number among those accepted or among the 70k that applied

[vagrant flint]

id assume among the 70k that applied

[foggy urchin]

oh that kind of relieves me
bc we're not actually competeing with the 10k

more like 2.5k? assuming 25% got in

[vagrant flint]

i don’t entirely understand what you mean…?

you could have applied for honors and gotten rejected outright, so i think that would have counted towards the 10k

[vagrant flint]

maybe not this low but you’d definitely have been competing against a lower number than the total number of applicants, unless that 10k is 10k of all accepted applicants

[foggy urchin]

I know, but you aren't really competing against those rejected

[vagrant flint]

oh yeah

actually im not entirely sure

they say this on their website

[vale pewter]

gg i got waitlisted for the honors program

[vagrant flint]

same

didnt even know that was a thing 💀

[vale pewter]

second honors program i've been waitlisted for smh

[round yarrow]

tbh it doesn't matter as long as you got ur first choice major

scause liek the only benefit of hbonros is that you get priorisity selection for classes

[vale pewter]

yeah but still getting into a 2.5% acceptance rate thing is cool lol

also it's interdisciplinary honors and i love interdisciplinary

[wraith eagle]

got denied honors

i saw the subject line and thought they accepted me

[round yarrow]

bro 💀

just get 2 doparmtnetal honors

[vale pewter]

IKR

[vale pewter]

No it's okay im not going to UW anyway

Nothing against the school it's just that i love california

[wraith eagle]

did you get la too?

[vale pewter]

yeah

[wraith eagle]

would you pick that over berkeley then?

[vale pewter]

idk😭😭😭😭😭😭

[round yarrow]

bro over berkeley is wild

bro berkeley is so good

go there, trust me

[vale pewter]

UCLA vibe though

[foggy urchin]

i also got waitlisted!!!

first one and it's strange

[viscid drum]

how is picking ucla over berk wild 😭😭😭

[sharp umbra]

isn’t berkeley like the unhappiest place on earth

picking berkeley over la is wild 💀

[vale pewter]

no

[viscid drum]

a lotta things that ppl say are bad abt berk become over exaggerated

[nimble rampart]

Are you in state?

[vale pewter]

yeah

[nimble rampart]

I got accepted to ucla and I just cannot afford it at all

[vale pewter]

for cali

[nimble rampart]

Ok that makes sense then

[vale pewter]

not UW

[nimble rampart]

Ye ye

That’s good that you’re in state tho

UCLA and berk are actually feasible options for you 😭

[vale pewter]

yeah oos insane

yeah im so grateful because i didn't know I'd be instate😭

my situation kinda iffy because I live in India but uh kind aqualify instate?

[nimble rampart]

Take what you can get and use it to your advantage 🤩

[vale pewter]

fr

[vague sequoia]

udub over ucsb/purdue 100%

oh shit

mb i didnt mean to respond to such an old message

💀

[vagrant flint]

ur good lol

[blissful kayak]

yall know if uw takes loci?

[vagrant flint]

dont think so?

i think there was an appeal process a couple years ago that people could write letters/essays for but it might be different now

i dont think their wl form does though, it’s just you putting your name on it and then if it’s selected they’ll tell you

[slate lotus]

Meow

[blissful kayak]

ok cool thanks!

[nimble rampart]

Any way I can get in state residency for uw?

It’s so expensive

[tawny stump]

What are the conditional offers like for ib students

[outer geyser]

who pulling up to admitted student day

[wraith eagle]

is there an admitted student discord?

[vagrant flint]

🫡

gonna be there (and at the 3 other admitted student events i signed up for)

[vagrant flint]

there's one for co28 and one for uw as a whole

there's also a server hub that you can join with your uw.edu email

[wraith eagle]

send me invite pls

[vagrant flint]

sent

[plucky jasper]

How do I access my UW email

Like the contents of the email itself

[nimble rampart]

POV you live in Arizona and can’t go to admitted student day

[vagrant flint]

https://itconnect.uw.edu/tools-services-support/academic-planning/myuw-help-center/access-uw-email/

[nimble rampart]

Can I apply for Washington residency and get in state tuition

Starting my sophomore year?

[vagrant flint]

yes

If a student is classified as a non-resident when they are admitted and believes that they qualify as a resident for tuition purposes, they must file a residency application with the Residence Classification Office to request verification.

[nimble rampart]

Fr???

[vagrant flint]

https://registrar.washington.edu/residency/

[nimble rampart]

Wait

This isn’t it

I don’t think

Like if I attend UW

and apply for Washington residence that year

Can I get my tuition changed?

[vagrant flint]

oh that

i dont think so…..?

[nimble rampart]

Bc I ain’t tryn pay all that for 4 years

[vagrant flint]

iirc i saw something that said residency had to be established a year before the quarter you’re trying to enter for

wait no

[nimble rampart]

So I could do it for sophomore year then?

[vagrant flint]

Individuals must provide documentation showing they meet the following guidelines to establish WA domicile:

Physically reside in the state for at least 12 consecutive months prior to the first day of the quarter students are seeking residency.

on this https://registrar.washington.edu/residency/residency-requirements/

but this is totally different

[vagrant flint]

does any school allow this? seems kinda iffy

[nimble rampart]

Damn this sucks

[rugged nest]

can i get the co28 invite please?

[nimble rampart]

Me too

[vapid vessel]

can snemd me the co28 one as well

[scarlet tinsel]

Ripppp i would actually recommend if you have the money, go. You get free card access to all the buildings for the day. It’s the one day in the year that you can enter a ton of cool buildings

I entered so so so many buildings with the little badge.

The cherry blossoms are pretty too

Picture taken today and quality kinda sucks but it was busy in the quad today lol

[formal yacht]

for the waitlisted applicants, is there any to showcase continued interest or commitment?

[sharp umbra]

appeal system i think

[round yarrow]

you cant appeal unless you reject waitlist

[runic crater]

[formal yacht]

what did the waitlist rate look like this year?

[plucky jasper]

Thank you

[vagrant flint]

do you think they’ll be out for one more week? i got something there and im hoping to see them then 😅

[scarlet tinsel]

they should still be out next week.

[scarlet tinsel]

that can never be predicted, sorry.

[nimble rampart]

Hey guys so I’m trying to figure out expenses for the admitted student day

Is it a good idea to get a rental car?

[plucky jasper]

Anyone get their admissions package yet 💀

[scarlet tinsel]

Not recommended. I would try and get a cheap hotel and use community transit/light rail for $2.50 a ride.

Get an ORCA card mailed to you
https://www.myorca.com/

[nimble rampart]

Nope

[nimble rampart]

What if I’m looking to get to know the city a little bit

Travel around, eat food somewhere different

There’s no Dutch in Washington???

[scarlet tinsel]

dutch bros? lol

[nimble rampart]

There’s none by the campus 😭

Rip

Closest one is a 39 minute drive

Does space usually run out for registering for admitted student day?

[odd shoal]

Anyone know how waitlists will look like this year?

Past years have been so random

Like only 7 people got off in 2022 but half the people got off last year or something

[vagrant flint]

no way to predict

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah it runs out of space pretty fast

[round yarrow]

bro

[round yarrow]

what major r u doing

[lapis solar]

for the finaid calculator can you just use your estimated sai for efc

[vagrant flint]

on my registration it only says this, should there be more?

[odd shoal]

General Engineering

[round yarrow]

uhh

then chances r pretty high

cause they accepted like 2900 / 4100 people from WL lasgt ytr

[scarlet tinsel]

no that looks pretty accurate. it's the huge welcome in the Alaska Arena stadium, then after you can explore all of campus and there's a ton of different events that happen that day from each department.

[vagrant flint]

ohh ok

i saw the giant list of stuff to do on the website and thought there was a place to register for those separately

[scarlet tinsel]

i remember staying until the early afternoon or something

[scarlet tinsel]

I don't remember having to register for any of those events, they were either community-wide or exclusive to students admitted to the major (they usually don't let you in that room unless your name is on a paper that they check off)

so for instance there was this Informatics FDA meeting that I went to, they just checked me off so i could go in

[vagrant flint]

ah makes sense, i have one of those in the allen school

gotcha

[scarlet tinsel]

yep! that saturday is the only saturday that you get to truly explore a lot of campus. not sure if they give y'all access to Ode but you get access to everything else i think

[runic crater]

u can’t predict the waitlist acceptance rate

[scarlet tinsel]

ya honestly can't really predict it too well at any university... and uw in particular is off the charts. 6 students one year and 2400 a few years later accepted off the waitlist 💀

[round yarrow]

bro wut?

some yrs are just affected b y other stuff

like covid

but its been consitently high cause u gotta remmeber its a state school

[runic crater]

Bro last year was 2900/4000 then the previous was 8/5000

[round yarrow]

well

[runic crater]

It’s so inconsistent that there’s no reliable way to predict

Only the yield

[round yarrow]

theres a reason for that difference

yeah the yield rate for UW is going down

during COVID

people wanted to stay in state to save money

but now that itsa over

people r more comfortable going OOS

hence UW yield rate is going down and WL acceptance rate up

[runic crater]

idk bro u never really know for sure

I’m just hoping they let me off

[scarlet tinsel]

that's speculation. i appreciate the reasoning but there are many other factors that impact who gets off the waitlist.

[round yarrow]

its not rlly speculation

its practically a fact

logically

ofc we dont know how much impact but its very reasonable to assume it had an effect

[nimble rampart]

Yikes I’ll sign up rn tho

Can I cancel easily?

If I end up not going?

Bc I’d rather sign up before I can confirm whether or not I can go

Then wait til I know but it end up being too late

[scarlet tinsel]

Well given that the admissions team is need-blind, they have no access to see who is "financially able" to pay for their tuition. They can only see who to pull of the waitlist based of the information from their application (i.e. first two major choices). Remember, students take into consideration whether they get into their major directly or not... and given how many more students are applying into capacity-constrained majors, those numbers also impact yield...

People "being comfortable" going OOS instead of UW post-covid because of finances is an... interesting argument. Remember that only a fraction of students who apply to UW are in-state (this year's numbers was 15k in-state vs 54k OOS).

[scarlet tinsel]

I know a couple people who signed up but didn't go

[nimble rampart]

Alr bet I’ll sign up rn

[scarlet tinsel]

I mean obviously not the most considerate thing to do but there's no impact on your admissions decision

[nimble rampart]

First come first serve sorry

[scarlet tinsel]

I think it filled up within 3-4 days yeah

[nimble rampart]

Bruh

wtf

I gotta do this rn then

[scarlet tinsel]

It's different every year... but yeah try to do it fast.

[nimble rampart]

It’s prob already full smh

[scarlet tinsel]

You'll quickly learn that to get anything at UW, you need to be on your toes. Registration, housing, career services, internships...

[sharp umbra]

thats js any school

[nimble rampart]

Good to know

[scarlet tinsel]

I mean, you need to be on ur toes as in ur stressed if your wifi breaks and crashes. We're not the typical school, we're a more moderate version of the extreme Berkeley.

I.e. wake up at 5:45am to click "Register" at 6:00am precisely otherwise you might not get your classes since 2,000 other students are trying to get the same ones at the same time

(so more like 5:59:58 lol)

[scarlet tinsel]

you'll get an email notificatoin once it's full

[round yarrow]

that argument does not work since 2/3 of the admitted class is In state hence meaning that its in their hands whether they want to go to Out of State or not. Also besides finances, safety is another reason, and housing as well.

[scarlet tinsel]

same with game days 😂 the football apple cup got full in like two hours

[round yarrow]

In 2020 or 2021

[sharp umbra]

could i make a macro to register classes for me

[round yarrow]

it would make sense that the majority group (in state students) would stay in state for financial as well as safety reasons. but now that they tend to have a lot more freedom in choosing, a lot more people r gonna go somewhere else

hence a lower yield rate and a higher WL AR

[scarlet tinsel]

I don't think I understand your argument lol. If 2k in-state students decide not to attend UW vs. 8k oos students, I think oos would impact yield much more than in-state.

[scarlet tinsel]

not sure what ya mean by macro

[sharp umbra]

create a program to auto register for me at 6 am on the dot

so i dont get sniped for classes

[round yarrow]

bro where is 2k vs 8k numbers

[scarlet tinsel]

Well then you would be in violation of the Student Code of Conduct and could be expelled from the university :)

[round yarrow]

UW said their admittec class is 2/3s in state

[sharp umbra]

WTF

thats such a stupid rule.

[scarlet tinsel]

Alright:
69k applied.
7k desired total acceptances.

Let's say they admit 20k total students with their yield. They accept 8k in-state and 12k out of state.

Let's say 2k in-state choose not to go, and 8k oos choose not to go, kinda a similar situaion last year where they over-accepted by a far margin (oops?). Which impacts yield more? In this example, there are 6k in-state and 4k oos, just a little under 2/3 in-state to oos ratio.

OOS students impact yield more because more OOS decided not to come to UW. Basically UW must balance between in-state and out-of-state charge sky-high prices to OOS students. Thus many choose not to go, causing the lower yield rate. Especially with the prices in Seattle, as you said...

[scarlet tinsel]

Anything that can manipulate UW technology means anything that can manipulate state-operated technology...

[sharp umbra]

man

[round yarrow]

im not understand how it can be 8k in state and 12k oos when 2/3s of their admitted students r in state

it has to be 8k vs 4k

[scarlet tinsel]

Sorry. Their expecting entering class is 2/3 in-state. So of 7000 students, they want to try and have ~5000 be in-state students and ~2000 be oos/intl students.

According to the video.

[round yarrow]

yeah

but even in that case

[scarlet tinsel]

Which means they probably accept about 8000 in-state (waitlisting another couple thousand), and accept about 12,000 out-of-state (and waitlist another couple thousand) to reach their desired class numbers. And because so many OOS choose not to attend because of the price tag, that lowers yield.

[round yarrow]

no

[scarlet tinsel]

The vast majority of in-state students stay in-state because the vast majority of colleges are funded by the state government.

[round yarrow]

I dont think they mean expected in that they r predicting yield rate

the reason they put expect is cause they dont know yield rate

I believe they accepted 2/3s of the admitted class as In state

and then 1/3 of thenm are OOS

also the different in yield rate between OOS and In state is not to justify them accepting like 2 times more people

its not that drastic

@sharp umbra I need ur expertise on this

[sharp umbra]

tf 💀

[round yarrow]

u research this info

[scarlet tinsel]

they don't publish this info.

thus, it's not researchable

[round yarrow]

either way

there are a myraid of factors

for WL being so small in 2020-2021 or 2022

but last yr

there was no extreme factors involved

[sharp umbra]

if we know the oos acceptance rate vs in state acceptance rate u can just figure out that

but its probably not published

hence nobdoy knows

[round yarrow]

that is more real than anything else

ofc nobody knows exact amount

but 2023's numbers

could paitn a very good picture for this yr

[scarlet tinsel]

Watch this video lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bvaJCD5YWc&t=302s

"16,000 from WA state, and of a class of 7,000, about 2/3 will be made up of WA state residents. Hopefully."

Meaning that in WA state, about 5,000ish students will be in-state next year.

I've honestly lost what argument ur trying to make and it's a pretty stale argument for me to participate in any longer. I have better things to do with my time

[round yarrow]

my main point is that 2023's numbers r pretty good as an indication of this yrs numbers

[scarlet tinsel]

If you got in, congratulations. Feel free to attend UW or go to another school.

[round yarrow]

without any potential factors such as Covid

[scarlet tinsel]

False. You can only extrapolate and predict, but a previous year's numbers serve no indication for the current university's needs.

Factor in the 4.63% inflation.

[round yarrow]

wait but thats what I have doing

[scarlet tinsel]

It's a basic principle of statistics. Extrapolation is not equal to indication.

[round yarrow]

predicting

im predicting its gonna be high

nobody knows, not even UW

hence I Say "likely"

[scarlet tinsel]

Okay

[round yarrow]

I wouldn't worry about it since im pretty sure

[scarlet tinsel]

I think I'll continue to answer UW-related admissions questions for students here on out.

[round yarrow]

they just give u pre sciences

or pre engineering

[round yarrow]

bro im legit a uw student

next yr at least

[scarlet tinsel]

And I will continue to answer admissions-related questions.

[round yarrow]

I mean

[scarlet tinsel]

pre-engineering does not exist

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

Look at the "Pre Major" section on this page.

Pre Sciences, Pre Social Sciences, Pre Art are the main umbrellas

And Pre Humanities for a few.

[round yarrow]

yeah but my point is pre sciences is what u auto get

so it shouldn';t be that bad

though its kind of sad how many ;eople UW WL this yr

instead of just giving them PRe Sciences

cause I know a lot of perople who want to take that offer over others who got into PRe Sciences who dont wanna go cause they didn't get CS 💀

[scarlet tinsel]

It depends on the major a student wants to get. A lot of STEM majors are capacity-constrained, and many students who apply are interested in entering a STEM field.

[round yarrow]

I mean they aren’t getting cs then unless they reapply whic is hard af

[runic crater]

Will I get off the waitlist if I buy a Husky fursuit

[round yarrow]

Yessir

That’s an auto acceptance

[vagrant flint]

@scarlet tinsel do you know what goes on in the bill and melinda gates center?

like is it another building for cs/ce classes

[scarlet tinsel]

It has several CS/CE classes, lots of cool equipment and such, a lot of faculty/administrative offices, and labs

It goes underground a couple floors

It's really quite a beautiful building

[round yarrow]

Wait r u info

[vagrant flint]

oh it’s underground too??

thats rlly cool

[round yarrow]

@scarlet tinsel

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah that's called the dungeon

[scarlet tinsel]

correct

[round yarrow]

U take classes in Melinda and bill gates?

[nimble rampart]

🤨🤨🤨

[scarlet tinsel]

here are where some of the offices are in another cs building

[round yarrow]

?

I’m asking

Since I though Info Wan’s a separate building

[scarlet tinsel]

i've never actually been in the gates center yet

i've been in the allen center not the gates one

the allen one isn't as beautiful

[round yarrow]

Yeah

[scarlet tinsel]

INFO is the only school that doesn't really have a dedicated building since it's such a small part of the university lol. We're housed in mary gates hall

[round yarrow]

Extension of ece building

[scarlet tinsel]

i suppose you might say that. it's just an addition to the plethora of engineering buildings that already exist

such as roberts hall that i passed by earlier this week...

i think they tore down some of the trees in that picture lol

[runic crater]

volunteering at a school event but still manifesting a waitlist acceptance

[nimble rampart]

[jade quarry]

can u send inv 🙏

[vagrant flint]

@scarlet tinsel stupid question but are keurig coffee makers allowed in dorm kitchens

[scarlet tinsel]

Dorm kitchens are community-style and would get stolen, but they're allowed in the dorms! I have one myself hehee

[vagrant flint]

omg awesome

def gonna snag a cheap one hehehe

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah ask around from your grandparents or family friends honestly

I got mine for free from a family friend

[foggy urchin]

alright umm
idea
how about all the a2c kids going to admitted student day have like, a meet up?

i think it would be hype

[cobalt junco]

@hot grail someone actually beat you out with rejections i'm very suprised

[steep stream]

LOL

[hot grail]

my gpa isnt good though

[sharp umbra]

yea thats why im probably not gonna bother applying lmfoa

[cobalt junco]

what college is slo?

[sharp umbra]

cal poly slo

[hot grail]

yea

a csu

[cobalt junco]

ohhhhhh

[hot grail]

the best csu

[cobalt junco]

my math teacher went to cal poly

[hot grail]

cal poly is gooodddd

[cobalt junco]

the only reaches i think i'm going to play to are uw, and UT

uta*

maybe umich

[sharp umbra]

uw reach?

for cs ig maybe

[cobalt junco]

for cs

yeah

[hot grail]

lmaooo

good luck on that

[cobalt junco]

im instate

so that helps

[hot grail]

yea

uta is risky though

[cobalt junco]

yeah it is

[hot grail]

cause they barely admit any oos students

[cobalt junco]

yeah lmfao

i wouldn't say uw by itslef is a reach more of a target

for in state atleast

[hot grail]

its somewhere in between

[sharp umbra]

eh

prolly low reach for most ppl if it is worse than this year next year

[cobalt junco]

hopefully it's better next year

😭

[sharp umbra]

doubt it tbh

[cobalt junco]

yeah prolly not

atleast being instate helps

if i don't get into uw im going to uwrejects.com 😔

[sharp umbra]

does that redirect to wazoo

LMFAO

[cobalt junco]

yeah it does lmfao

[sharp umbra]

IT DOES

[cobalt junco]

yeah lmao it does

i'm prolly applying to UW, WSU, UTA, CU Boulder, Oregon state university, Umich, maybe usc only cause my mom went there

[vagrant flint]

@scarlet tinsel does uw have 3d printers that can be used outside of classes

[scarlet tinsel]

Yes! The Mill North campus

[round yarrow]

WAZOO is extremely good

I might go there tbh

[vagrant flint]

omggg

yessir

i might go there

next yr

[vagrant flint]

cherry blossoms are beautiful rn

but is WSU is also a good backup optoiopn for so many people at my school

[rugged nest]

in state gpa thing?

[round yarrow]

ehh more like

they want to do their major

and hence they want to go there

since its direct admit

[rugged nest]

ah thats fair ik someone who went bc major

[round yarrow]

[round yarrow]

hmm

guys should I go to UW Seattle or UCSD

for CS

[nimble rampart]

UW is cheaper unless you’re in state in Cali 🤷🏽‍♂️

[vagrant flint]

is ucsd affordable

[cobalt junco]

Go to uw highly

High key*

[vagrant flint]

^

[nimble rampart]

Low key

[round yarrow]

I mean yeah

but I will have to pay for it

which I dont acc mind

but somebody told me to go to UCSD due to the location

but idk

what to do

[cobalt junco]

bro i think my manager hates me lmfao

like i think my maanger has a vendetta against me

she said she wrote me up for going up front to talk to people and not doing my side work when there was nothing to do in the back and there was no side work t odo

[nimble rampart]

What are the best dorms?

Are there honors dorms?

Are those the best?

[vagrant flint]

yes

[nimble rampart]

What dorms should I go after?

Also honors scholarships?

When do those come out?

[vale pewter]

wouldn't any scholarships have come out with your letter

[nimble rampart]

Idk I thought maybe coming out late

And I haven’t seen anyone get an honors scholarship in their email

[vale pewter]

does honors even have separate scholarships

[nimble rampart]

Yeah

Lemme find the link

https://honors.uw.edu/scholarships/first-year-scholarships/

It says it comes with the email

But bc of delays this year

I’m wondering if it’s different

And i thought at least everyone would get a small scholarship

Only 225 ppl to fund

For a small honors scholarship

[vale pewter]

oooooh

[nimble rampart]

Does accepting honors college mean I accept that I’ll attend UW?

Meh

They say you have to accept both

So I’m not accepting the offer of attendance yet

Only the honors college

[vagrant flint]

no

you manually accept both

[nimble rampart]

Ok good

[foggy urchin]

do i have to write a letter of continued interest for honors 😭

[hardy wigeon]

Same here broo

[vagrant flint]

i don’t think so?

i think its the same idea as the normal uw waitlist

[hardy wigeon]

Can anybody access financial aid/processed yet?

[nimble rampart]

Yeah that’s so dumb

[foggy urchin]

i might email them just in case 😓

[nimble rampart]

Better to be an RA or work study?

Wait I don’t qualify for work study

My fam too ri ch

Can I still get an in campus job?

What’s better, RA or on campus job?

[nimble rampart]

Is there somebody that goes to UW rn in this server?

[cobalt junco]

@scarlet tinsel

[cobalt junco]

^

[nimble rampart]

Ty

[vagrant flint]

you could be a TA?

[nimble rampart]

There’s no other campus jobs? What abt like research assistant?

Or literally anything at all

[vagrant flint]

not sure

[nimble rampart]

Alr thanks anyways

[vagrant flint]

all i know for certain is they hire ta’s for cs/ce classes and that those openings are super, unbelievably competitive

[nimble rampart]

Oh

I don’t like computer science that much

That’s ok

[vagrant flint]

there might be openings for whatever dept you’re most interested in

[nimble rampart]

If I become an RA and get a campus job, I can pay half the cost

[nimble rampart]

Maybe yeah

RA for 3 years and campus job for 4 years

Work over the summer too

[cobalt junco]

really if you become an ra or get campus job you get discounted tuition?

[nimble rampart]

For more hours

[nimble rampart]

Nah

[cobalt junco]

ah

just you make the money

to pay it

[nimble rampart]

You get paid for a campus job

Being an RA pays your housing and food

But a lot of ppl see it as not worth it

Bc you gotta be up in the middle of the night a lot of the time to do room checks

And other things too

They say it’s 19.5 hours a week

Mainly weekends

[cobalt junco]

does being an RA pay for all of your housing?

[nimble rampart]

Yeah

For that year

[cobalt junco]

really that's crazy

[nimble rampart]

Yeah but it’s a lot of work

Idk if it’s worth it

Pretty much every school offers it tho

[cobalt junco]

ah okay

[gilded ingot]

word study is them just saying "I promise to have a job at uni for you for X amount of money"

good if the work study is chill (like some easy office work) and you can do your homework, not worth it if you can just find a different, higher paying job

[nimble rampart]

Yeah but work study you have to be financial need and I def am not so

I’ll just find a job

And be an RA prob

[gilded ingot]

focusing on landing a good internship too

[nimble rampart]

How do I do that

And why intership?

[gilded ingot]

good ones clear 20k+ for one summer (for cs)

[nimble rampart]

Wow

[gilded ingot]

idk how much other fields pay

[nimble rampart]

Not that I’ll be in Washington in the summer tho

I’m not in state

[gilded ingot]

what major?

[nimble rampart]

Pre sciences rn

Soon to be bio with emphasis in physiology

[gilded ingot]

you can intern anywhere 🤷

[nimble rampart]

True

[gilded ingot]

ra / paid research is your best shot

[nimble rampart]

Yeah ima def be RA and I’ll def look around for paid research during the school year

Find smth in AZ for the summer

[round yarrow]

guys at UW

whats the max credits a course can be worth

[vagrant flint]

i’ve seen one for 15

[cobalt junco]

Do you guys think it'll be harder or easier to get into cs next year?

[vagrant flint]

CHIN 134, a full year’s worth of introductory chinese classes crammed into a single quarter

[cobalt junco]

cause i'm praying for cs next year 🙏

[vagrant flint]

hard to say, dependent on a lot of factors

[cobalt junco]

valid

what do you personally think?

obviouslly no one can say one way or the other

[vagrant flint]

in some areas harder, just because multiple applicants

the blow will be lighter if you’re in state, and even lighter depending on what school you go to

[cobalt junco]

i am instate

[cobalt junco]

wdym it'll be lighter

[vagrant flint]

like

easier

[cobalt junco]

to get into cs?

is that what you think

[vagrant flint]

oh well i mean across the board it’ll be harder

[cobalt junco]

oh okay

[vagrant flint]

because of more applicants

[cobalt junco]

yeah that's true

[vagrant flint]

just not as hard depending on where you are

[cobalt junco]

so you think it'll be easier for cs instate?

is that correct?

[vagrant flint]

still harder - it’s a competitive program that only gets more competitive every year, just not as hard as oos

[median girder]

what do you mean depending on what school you go to

like HS or college in uw

[cobalt junco]

oh okay

[vagrant flint]

oh i didn’t even think about transfers lol
i mean some schools have just had streaks of a ton of people getting in, my school being one of those

might just be luck, might be an alternating balance, it’s just hard to predict

[median girder]

oh fuck

i was so inside my head cuz i wanted to transfer to cs in uw lmao

didnt read the convo

[vagrant flint]

i used to think since we had a ton of acceptances last year and another school in the district had less, it would swap this year
instead, it just continued the pattern

[median girder]

lmao

ur school must be cracked

[vagrant flint]

good luck bro

[median girder]

what is ur major for uw

[vagrant flint]

cs

[median girder]

in state or oos
