Congratulations on your admission to the University of Washington and the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering (Allen School) via the Pathways for Inclusive Excellence (PIE)! Please carefully review the following information.
You have been admitted to the Allen School on the condition that you participate in either the Allen School Scholars Program or STARS. Over the next several weeks, our intake process will determine which program is the best fit for you. Both programs provide you with an excellent opportunity to develop skills and build a network of support necessary to ensure a strong STEM foundation at the UW.
To confirm your enrollment in the Allen School:
1. By March 24: Complete the PIE intake form to help us determine which program is the best fir for you.
2. March and April: Regularly check the email that you provided on your UW application and respond to any additional requests from staff (if applicable).
3. By March 31: Receive your program decision into Allen Scholars or STARS. Review the program materials and website. Program staff are available if you have any questions about program details.
4. By May 1: Confirm your participation in Allen Scholars or STARS and pay your Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD), or request a deferral.
IMPORTANT: If you do not wish to participate in PIE, notify staff at pie-coe@uw.edu and pay your Enrollment Confirmation Deposit (ECD), or request a deferral, and you will be enrolled at the UW as a pre-major student. There are a limited number of spaces in computer science or computer engineering majors for students who are not admitted directly into the Allen School as first-year students, and we are unable to guarantee that you will be admitted through the capacity-constrained admission process at a later date.
We know this is a lot of information at a very exciting time in your life. We’re here to help! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Your UW Allen School journey with us starts now! Contact us at pie-coe@uw.edu.
