The UW uses a “pooling” process: Admissions decisions are made after all applications have been received and assessed.
For the freshman class of 2013, the application period is October 1 - December 1, 2012. However, required test scores may be submitted through Dec. 31, 2012.
The UW does not offer any type of early decision or early action program. All applicants will be notified between March 15 and March 31, 2013.
All deadlines are the dates by which required materials must be postmarked or submitted.
| Quarter of application | Quarter begins | Application period | Deadline | Notification period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Autumn | Late September | October 1- December 1 | December 1 | March 15-31 |
| Winter | Early January | August | September 1 | November- December |
| Summer * (degree status) | Mid-June | October 1- December 1 | December 1 | March 15-31 |
* Choosing summer means you wish to begin regular enrollment in summer and continue into autumn as a degree-seeking student. Failure to enter summer will cancel autumn admission and any registration.
