i got invited to this event on admitted students day and there was a raffle that they held for 6 gift bags
ooo
there were exactly 6 students in attendance
¯_(ツ)_/¯
LMAO
it was for minorities in stem
gift bag included
- the bag itself (a really nice allen-school branded tote bag)
- lunchbox and utensils (also allen school branded)
- a husky plush that has a uw cs shirt
wait if u think i submitted 1390 since i know 1400+ is the cutoff
itll be ok right
since they dont even use SAT
i mean atp i cant change anything but 
where does it say 1400 is the cutoff
they dont look at SAT scores unless they absolutely have to
^
if it comes down to it, they’ll look at your score
tru
udub is weird like that
they dont want LOR's or test scores but the might use test scores BUT they dont want you to submit test scores?
😭
please take me u dub
literally
u win
i win
just take me bro
i win
they want me

grade deflation definitely exists but as far as i've seen, only in stem classes
and it is BAD
probably
i know some people that are not doing so well rn cuz their workload is insane but its like 18+ credits (when ideally you should do 13-15 per quarter)
then on the other end of the spectrum there's me
13 credit quarter
hardest class is my english class
finished all of my cs work for both classes today, 5 days left before anything new gets assigned for either of them
311 and 351 this quarter
which
they're the classes you take immediately after the intro series
(ideally)
351 so far is totally fine but that's cuz ive seen the content we're doing rn before
i mean
first quarter at least ive been able to go to three concerts in three months
go to a couple of parties and social events both in and out of the school
the workload is only as bad as you make it
last quarter is 15
this quarter is 13 and so far i have nothing to do
but thats if you stay on top of stuff
like consistently
exactly 2 stem 1 humanities
Wait trig did you have to send a mid year report to UW?
LIke did UW request you sned your First semester gradfes
they request them but i believe that was handled by my counselor
actually
no i’m thinking of the school report
lemme double check actually
if we did have to send them then i was not responsible for that
the only grades i remember reporting iirc were freshman through junior year
hmm okay
Hopefully not
because i got fucked by calc this semester
i'm ngl
anyone know the AR for OOS ece? It's not 2% like CS right 💀
It's included with engineering i believee
Definitely inflated
They have FYE just like purdue I beleive
oh damn
I could be wrong tho
to my understanding allen school ce and coe ece are two separate majors
admission for any non-ce engineering major is dtc admission into the college of engineering
after a bit of time as “engrud” (engineering-undeclared) you then apply for a major within the college
so if it says 43% acceptance rate that’s globally for all majors in the college of engineering
the specific acceptance rate for ece within that is different
afaik, it’s a matter of selecting your first choice engineering major, second choice, and third
wait but if it's just direct admission to CoE then why would the the ece AR be differnet for freshman applicants
or are you saying the ECE acceptance rate is different only after you get accepted into CoE
for ECE specifically, they list that the only way for high school students to be admitted is through DTC, so if you put ECE as your first choice major then you’ll be considered for DTC entry into the CoE
meanwhile some majors explicitly state that they can directly accept high school applicants (such as chemical engineering - which is news to me)
Ah alr makes sense
Is there any info on the acceptance rate for that?
like they posted it for Allen CS and CE
not sure
UW Bothell Decision anyone???
W
i heard the social scene at Udub is pretty insular (mostly high school friend groups continuing)
- seattle freeze
i know OOS CS is cooked but are there a signifiant number of OOS students in CSE
(like, one of the big turn offs for TAMU personally is that literally everyone is from TX)
did it say csse for you? or pre-major?
oop
pre major
pretty sure it’s the same for everyone
hi sigma
hi sigma
hi sigma
hi sigma
hi sigma
missed this - honestly, yeah
most of my friends (i.e. the people i talk to daily or consistently) are in cs
and most of the people i talk to that are in cs i knew from my hs
since there were a lot of cs admits from my hs
i c
you can definitely make out of state friends
and if you're out of state you can definitely find people you know
one of my friends is from colorado, and he managed to find a TA that went to the same school as him i believe
(or they're from the same hometown)
noooo 😭
U wash dont let me down bro
WHAT
WHAT
NOOO
I NEEDED A FRIEND GROUP
hi sigmas
Dw if we both end up at udub we can be friends
I don't want to continue high school friendships
I want a new start
do not be friends with a2c ppl
😭😭
That's so mean lol
simply the truth
its you again
He yaps abt everything dw
💀💀
Most comments from him is hate
lol
bett
Dude real
Most of my og friends are from elementary still
i'll be real it's been super social in my experience
i basically got adopted into a few groups and it's only been first quarter
i guess it helps i'm an extrovert who goes to clubs though 😅
you'll be fineee
like honestly yes a lot of friend groups continue but those are mostly in state groups
the 50% of OOS students make tons of friends
udub pls let me in
udubbbb
double u of university
quick question if I applied for mechanical engineering and didnt get into the program, will I be rejected? or will they just place me in undeclared
No you’ll get like prescience or something
even if u didn’t choose a second major?
Yup
undeclared and you can apply again later
what about for CS if i don't get into the major?
you can be admitted as presciences
Wait i'm a bit confused, so if I get rejected (im assuming UW seattle + MechE) I can instead go to UW seattle for presciences/undeclared?
Yeah you could
and I'm guessing the coursework would be different right cuz im not a mechE student yet?
Idk I've never seen anything like that
like part of me thinks that it's too good to be true
you get in as presciences but its very difficult to get into the college of engineering later
thats why all the engineering majors do dtc
and most people dont go to udub if they dont get in dtc cause its next to impossible for business, eng and cs to get in later
^
cs is the hardest right
yes 2% oos 😭
Oh ok
shi mb
instant reject
campus itself?
like the buildings and everything?
tbh it’s really 50/50, some places are really nice but others def show their age
during summer uw campus is 10/10
especially with the cherry blossoms
other times its just mid to me tbh
but so is the rest of washington
library is fire tho
which. one.
if you answer wrong you get immediately rejected
:P
is udub peaceful
yep
for the most part
they had a politically charged talk get canceled earlier this week due to counter protests
occasionally (but quite rarely) there’s someone on campus being a nuisance but that’s typically on red square
it can get a bit chaotic whenever there’s one of those school field trips to campus (imagine 30 middle schoolers running around with much less supervision than necessary)
uw uw uw uw uw uw

pic of rainier i took from my dorm
if you’re lucky enough you may get views like this every night
what about maple hall
there is an entire room selection process that you have to do in the summer
i will say though
the experiences of ppl living on west campus (where maple is) compared to ppl living on north campus (where mcmahon is) is night and day
north is a lot more secluded (but still publicly accessible), so it has a higher general sense of safety and security
west is much closer to the actual city so it doesnt have that
more pics from the mcmahon balcony
(these were on my phone, rainier was with a real camera)
OH
in that case i might lowk pull up in mcmahon
lowkey dont
i just thought i’d be in maple since i heard it was for engineers
theres a lot of better buildings on north
oh damn
but like
i don’t wanna be dealing with no druggies from downtown
last time i came there were a bunch of them
well udub itself is nowhere near downtown lol
tbh the uvillage (a 10 minute walk east of campus) is sooooo nice
Maple's kind of nice
if you do the housing tour, that's the building that you'll tour
It's really modern
and most if not all have private bathrooms
madrona and mcmamhon dont
the ones in madrona are really well maintained though and its not as bad as it seems
let me clarify, rooms in maple
mcmahon on the other hand.,..
😬
8 ppl sharing a bathroom with 2 stalls and a single shower
nahhhhh
hence why i say, there's better buildings elsewhere on north
the wifi is terrible, the heating is centralized so you can't fully control the temperature in your room (there's only radiators that you can open/close), the rooms are very small
i like the other people that live next to me but i wouldn't pick it again
What in your opinion are the best dorms on campus
North and west side
hmmm okay
yeah i really liked maple
it had really good views
really nice rooms
yeah it's expensive af
arghghggh
Lol, but tbh you don't see this everyday
Cuz the clouds cover everything 
honestly it hasnt been that cloudly recently
so i see it like maybe once every week or so
? its only 50k
oh wait nvm
:sk
💀
i have relatives in seattle might crash with them

Do yk if UW requested first semester grades from you?
bro is in love with at least 4 universities
took another pic of rainier this morning
correct
player smh
i love u dub
Did they ask for a mid year report from you?
dont think so
Yessss
Thank god bro
🙏🙏
Calc was not it this semester lmao
plus
it’s a month and a half until decisions
i think it would be a bit too late to ask for them
this was my fav safety fs
bro said safety
im instate the AR from my school is 90% 🙏
so yes safety
Uw just ain’t a safety 😭😭
Yeah but I would be careful if you're applying cs/engineering/business
nobody with my gpa has been rejected from my school in a decade + it doesnt matter i got into my ed
was psych
Then you should be good
Oh
Then withdraw
i did
lol ur name is acc so real
if you're admitted how would u know you're admitted dtc to a major
do they specify that on the acceptance letter
PLEASE
1 month holy shit
i've litteraly been waiting for this day for like a year no cap
same
will be hoping for all of you guys 💪
are y'all instate or oos?
UDUB PLS
in state man
cmon bro i need to get in
the one uni that matters the most
same i believe in u
instate
x_x
I am so glad I only know 2 people on A2c
One of whom is my friend
the other of which (hopefully) doesn't browse a2c
I would actually kms if my classmates found me here
Insane
how hard is udub engineering
for intls
like compared to something like purdue / umd / uw madison
it says 43% ar to college of engineering for non resident
does that mean oos + intl?
I also wonder
Bro ur US citizen
true for every public
that doesnt mean higher acceptance rate
The intl ar for uw is very high ngl
Unless you’re applying for EECS
cs oos ar is like 2% no
and EE at the college of engineering
yes
idk i couldnt find it
they just say non resident
on their website
non resident ar for COE is 43%
state schools generally dont distinguish between non-residents and intls
how hard is udub stats
not very i imagine
bro COE/CS/CE are cooked as fuck
Thankgod I’m aero
aero is coe
What
aero is coe jit LMAO
coe is 55% instate 45% oos lol
shit is not cooked at all 💀
oh
wait
what
OH
COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING
nooo
i thought ur talking about majors
aero is less selective compared to ce mech e
cs
ee
yk
they admit everyone
as pre engineering
it doesnt matter lmao
ce is lumped w cs
so thats fucked
i thought u dub admits by major
CS IS IN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING??
no
cs and ce are
in the allen school of computer science
only for a handful tbh
bro i got cooked by purdue
so this is cooked in my books
i literally switched my major from CE to ECE
cause of the 2% ar
good call lol
what do u define as shit on
ce is
im genuinley scared
i got rejected 💀
oh thats fucked bro
im CE
it’s just not something that you get into via ENGRUD
CS is in the college of arts and sciences
the “allen school” is just the “governing body” i guess for CS and CE
ya
- some perks on top of that
Is it possible to send in an application update to the AOs
bruh ur liek me flipped
facts
from your dorm?? that's crazy
the mt was actually so
the day i hiked it it was super foggy
but then after 3 hrs of hiking or something i was above the fog/clouds and could see the majestic peak
sounds amazing
yes
🔥🔥
fuck
UDUB LAST HOPE HOLY SHIT
I'm so cooked
uw is my 2nd to last hope
uw is miles ahead in terms of cs
purdue is great for engineering tho
i reallyyyy want uw im ce
uw stats PLS TAKE ME
both can be true
it’s highly sought after by cs, health, business, and maybe law majors since it has a slew of good programs
and if you’re in-state and majoring in something else then it may end up being cheaper, though maybe not as cheap as CC then transferring to a 4 year
I got into Purdue for cyber security
Oh and I know lmao
i wanted to do cybersec classes at purdue but they said thry were only available for cybersec majors
and it pissed me off sm
and then i ended up getting rejected so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are u instate for uw
Wait you got rejected Purdue but accepted uw cs??
I’m going to be the opposite 😔
i got deferred from EA, then apparently found out too late that the LOCI was in fact not optional despite seeing on their website that it was
yep
Guh
Ohhhh
Well
I’m definitely screwed 😭😭
ik someone that was
rejected udub instate cs
accepted ut austin turing scholars oos
it doesnt matter bro
tbf
Did he get fully rejected??
he had like a D in physics in 10th grade
or just rejected CS
bc he got caughtg cheating on a test
BRO WHAT
my worst grade since freshamn year was a B+ in spanish 2 😭
tbf i will be too after i get rejected 😭
i dropped
3 b's in freshman year
and then a 4th in senior

thank god they don't do mid year transcripts 😭
Cause i got a b- in ap calc
I think i had about the same
ab or bc
admission aside a b- in calc 1 is just not a good sign for computer science
but if its not ur fault truly then whatever
i deadass refused to study for my bc calc final bc i was like "if i cant rawdog calc 2 then im not fit to be a cs major" lol
i got one of the highest grades in the class
so
LMAO
he teaches nothing in class, and makes us watch videos that he's recorded for notes and then we do the homework in his class
bro wtf
ok tbf idk how i did it
i thought i fucked up way harder
💀
bro
for the MCQ
i remember
my last answers were
Like i do fine in math classes with a good teaching style, i just don't like his 😭
LMAO
i saw that and i was like
yeah its over bro
legit
every answer on my mcq
was a diagonal
it was like
broo what
that's insane
i legit
as iw as walking out
told my teacher
"yo wtf is this answer key"
she was like
"why did u remember every answer u wrote on the test"
BRO
ITS LITERALLY THE MOST OBVIOUS PATTERN EVER
LMAO
well hopefully UW turns out okay
i need UW
and UW needs me type beat
i'm ngl
i'm going to either get straight up rejected
Or not get CS
and will i be suprised if i get straight up rejected no
jeez insane
REAL
man
ik someone
who got into georgia tech cs oos
and rejected udub cs
udub is brutal with acceptances for cs instate
a lot of people with 4.0s and great ecs got rejected
With each passing day I become more and more thankful that I'm not applying cs
GG
😭
I know i'm not getting it
it's so wraps
SAME BRO
But they don't want me
im in state like I NEED this
2 strikes
I'M SO COOKED
and I'm not low income 😭
eh you're probably better off than me
I litteraly got my aid package today from Colorado school of mines, 0 aid 63k in loans 💀
lowk sad
but
at least you aint an indian competing with other sweaty indians holy
True
hey
LMAO
I would withdraw udub but I don't think my parents would let me
you gotta do what you gotta do
bro you got into gt
stfu and withdraw
THEY'RE PARANOID
are you eng
no
PHEW
ok then idc
LOL
good luck gang
My parents aren't even letting me withdraw northeastern or uiuc or purdue 😭
IDK
yeah I'm kinda shocked lol
It went a billion times better than I expected
I'll try my best to withdraw but we'll see
I kinda feel bad taking up someone else's spot
yeah you're popping off highkey'
Honestly we should start a culture of withdrawing to increase acceptance rates
see I'm already starting the revolution 
wait a min you got into uiuc too??
Yeah
bro
did you get UIUC?
I'm not cs or engineering or any crazy competitive major though lol
which one are you
we're good
😭
Depends on school but some kind of design:
purdue -> ux design
uiuc + unc + udub -> info sci
gt -> computational media
huh interesting
nah dw who wants to go to uni in the middle of cornfields
You guys will get into udub trust
THAT'S GOING TO BE ME IN 6 MONTHS IF UW DON'T TRAKE ME 😭
are you guys in state?
Cause it's either UW or Purdue
I can tell 😭
yup
yes
Then you guys have a wayyyy better chance of getting in
Okay fair
informatics is like 30 I think
guys I promise I will try my best to convince my parents to let me withdraw 😭
yes
thank you thank you
wait what schools do y'all go to if you don't mind sharing in dms
or uh
what if you guys end up being a classmate x_x
are you in state?
That's unlikely righttt
Yep
LMAO
WOAH
defintieyl not classmates
wait
If you guys are a classmate I do NOT want to know you
NAH
LMFAO
I'm not in seattle
hopefully not
so yk
yeah i live out in the suburbs too
nope
same x_x
40 min drive from there
yeah
I live suburbs near seattle
im a bit far off
thank God chances of us being classmates are now extraordinary low
lmaoo
oh shi yeah idt im anywhere close to you guys
no please live further away
I do NOT want you to be my classmate 😭
LMAO
i will say im somewhere in the west central region
yeah actually don't tell me your schools I don't want to know
My school starts with an M?
okay yeah so like further south than seattle?
THANK GOD
LMAO
PHEW OK
I DON'T WANT THEM TO BE HERE
yeah not me
yeah
Okay thank God
mine starts with an N
I already have one classmate who hopefully doesn't lurk here
okay nope we're safe
is it 2 words?
ok ok good
I have a friend who's chill though
yep
just ask in dms not in a public server 😭
Nah i know
I don't lol
its fine its not like you can find me even if yk my school
I was saying i wasn't going to ask lmao
also i go to a sweaty school so youd probs know it anyways
My school is not sweaty lmao
lmao
so there's a chance y'all know it
cause I have a kinda unique combo of design + politics ecs
So it's kinda obvious LOL
but if you don't know me then there's no way for you to find me
So like redmond area ish?
wait
nah way further lmao
kirkland…?
not like thats much further but that’s the one thing that came to mind 💀
wellllllllll
am I wrong
they are a very accepting bunch
potato potahto
im straight indian male i got 3 strikes
LMAO NAHHHH
same bro
at least im not doing cs
Nah stuill further LMAO
okay yeah I don't really know places further than that lol
Well just look at google maps
snohomish? everett?
Those are the two I can name off the top of my head
x_x
Uhhh
tulalip?
Yeah I don't know any schools that far north lol
I rarely go up there
except for skiing
does udub admit to second major often
If you went to stevens you've 100% driven through my town
ooh nice
Would not be surprised
WA is great for skiing
yup
yeah that's why i wanna stay
is cause i love skiing here
and just skiing in general
well snowboarding smh
I want to go oos purely because it's too close to home but ngl if I weren't in state I still would've applied here because it's a good school in a good location
true true
I would go to Boulder since i got in for CS
but it's just way too expensive 😭
Ooh wait that's great and good for skiing
ouch yeah
ikr
Understandable
Udub is amazing for cs/engineering though and you can't beat the price
YEAH FR
I know a lot of people there and they're having the time of their lives
yeah i really wanna go
Gl!!
thank you!!
1 month
this is going to be hte most stressful month of my life holy shit
Oh yeah I forgot udub comes out beginning of march x_x
It's okay we can do this
we're all in it together
true true
but it's so annoying
cause i'm going to be anxiously sitting here every night being like
okay okay tonight's the night
JUST FOR NOTHING TO COME OUT
Oh yeah x_x
I monitor a2c when around a school's release date
like genuinley
cause honestly there are some good predictions here
may i make one small suggestion
(ignore the classes) any time these two weeks, whenever the decisions come out
maybe dont visit like immediately 😭
why lol
I'm assuming it's crowded then?
finals week
(the last week specifically)
week before, everyone’s gonna be studying a whole bunch
I have one person I kinda wanna avoid bumping into at udub so I def won't be visiting x_x
Plus I've been to udub a billion times lol
yeah lmao
i won't visit immediately
i'll go to an admitted students day if i get in
but i won't just hop over
I also really wanna go since i'm really invested in their football team 😭
LOL I know nothing about college sports
highly recommend dawgpack tickets!
Except umich and ohio
and unc and duke
Cornell throws fish at harvard
And toothpaste at colgate
Harvard throws something at cornell
$180 for the entire season, you just need to enter a separate queue for them once you buy them
Yeah that's the limit of my knowledge lol
if i get in i'll buy fs
fire
triple recommend ASD for comp sci/ce majors
what is asd?
admitted students day
nothing majorly important/critical there
but it is very nice
it’s also when the cherry blossoms are in bloom
udub is lowkey my second choice after ucsd
Wtf
when was it last app cycle if u know
april 20
omg the dawgs finally won a BB game
+1
probably isnt too hard
it’s engrud which admits a lot of people
hopefully they admit me too 😢
yeahh
@cursive knot how does housing and stuff work if I get accepted? do i have to like select my housing or whatever over break cuz im going to india during summer and i wont be here to do it
at some point you will be asked to fill out a housing form, which has a lot of info on it, but namely the two things of biggest importance are:
- assuming you have a roommate planned already, you'll be able to select that roommate in particular (either by putting their net id or their 7-digit student number) - they'll also need to put yours down as well. if you don't have a roommate planned already, it'll allow you to select one based off of some preferences (like do you want someone who smokes or not), and they will be randomly assigned to you
- you'll be given a choice of room preference (like what buildings and whether you want to be in an LLC or not). the important thing to note is that this is not your actual room selection - afaik this only influences what group you go into for the actual room selection to minimize conflicts
then, you'll be emailed a room selection group with a specific time window that the housing portal opens for you. you open the page for the portal at least ten minutes before to ensure it loads properly by the time it opens for you
once it opens, you'll see every single room available regardless of the types you selected on the first form. this includes rooms in both north and west campus, singles, doubles, triples, and on-campus apartments
once you find a room you like, you'll then press a few buttons and then it'll be yours for the year
there is a high likelihood that you may not end up getting a room at your specific window, or you might not get one you enjoy. in that case, you can come back at (i think) half past every hour after your given timeslot to see if new rooms become available. if after all the housing windows go by and you still dont have a room, you'll be emailed with further instructions
if you have a roommate who's allowed to be in an LLC, between the two of you you'll have three housing windows - one for your roommate to pick within the LLC a bit earlier before everyone else (though it's possible that they wont be able to grab one), one for yourself outside the LLC, and another for your roommate outside the LLC
holy yap
on this form if you select
- black affinity housing
- mixed gender housing
- i think accessible room housing
then your room is instead selected by HFS staff, so you wont need to manually select a room afterwards
true
this sounds insanely dramatic
it happened to me and it happened to a whole bunch of other ppl as well
mcmahon was far from my first pick but it was the only one that we could actually obtain and hold
holy shit
thanks a lot gang
imma copy paste all that
so i dont forget
lol np
thank you trig
we got a month y'all
holy shit
my next 4 years is decided in a month 😭
I'm either going here or purdue 🙏
uw wants a piece of this cake
its my bbg
all the other unis are side chicks
but udub is wifey
that husky promise looks really nice
when does this jit come out for ea
wtf you mean ea
whoops i mean the one deadline they have
I think it's sometime in march
What
nah its just i got a nice upward trend going
Bro im asking a question
Do they need a mid year report or nah
no
Can we still send or
not sure check their website
also guess whos going to a kraken game tonight
yessir
jit is wild
Thank god 💀
anyone get the zeemee text msg
meh
yes
I joined but i didnt end up opening it for like a month so i deleted it
bro oos aid is so ass here ALSO THEY DIDNT CHANGE MY MAJOR I THINK IM COOKED 💀
i emailed them a month ago and thye said would be done by end of jan
it is notg
gg
when is UW results
Email again
March 1-15
