UW Offers Admission to Freshmen Class
“We know this is an exciting yet anxious time for many students and their families,” says Dr. Philip Ballinger, assistant vice president for enrollment and admissions. “The university has admitted a very talented and dynamic class but obviously cannot accept all those who apply. While some outstanding students will receive disappointing news, many have made it into the class. We want them to make a decision that is good for them when it comes time to picking which institution they plan to attend. We hope, of course, it is the UW.”
Admissions Closed Feb. 21-March 5 to Finish Frosh Review
The Office of Admissions will be closed to calls, appointments, and drop-in admissions counseling from February 21 through March 5. (The Campus Visit Program continues without interruption.) This arrangement will enable the staff to complete our review of more than 26,000 freshman applications so that we can mail admission notifications from March 15 to 31. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we work to admit the freshman class of 2012!
Office of Admissions Is Closed Friday, Jan. 20, Due to Weather
Extreme winter weather for Seattle has closed most of the campus this week. Many of us are working from home to maintain progress on reading freshman applications. We're even getting reports of staff members hiking 3+ miles (5 km) to read files. Meanwhile, enjoy the slideshow from Wednesday's rare snowfall. The UW will return to normal on Saturday, and our office will reopen on Monday.
