I applied. Now what?

If you received confirmation from the Common App that your application was submitted, you may rest assured that we have received it. Your application is working its way through our system, and you will receive a confirmation email with information about how to set up your UW Application Portal as soon as possible. Please allow a couple of days from the time you submitted your application for this process. And, don’t forget to check your spam folder.

We understand the desire to update your application. Unfortunately, we are only able to accept updates for the following items:

• Name
• Date of Birth
• Social Security Number
  Contact your admissions counselor for a Zoom identification meeting.
• Requested first- and/or second-choice major
  Your request must be received by Jan 15.
• You realized you applied twice

If you have updates to any of the above items, please contact the Office of Admissions. If you have already contacted the Office of Admissions, we will respond as soon as possible.

After you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email that contains information about setting up your UW Application Portal. Log in to your UW Application Portal to track any items that may be missing from your application as well as any other next steps, including a link to submit your STARS record.

If you are admitted AND you accept the offer of admission, you will be required to submit your final transcripts by July 15. You will receive more information about that process in your admission materials.

• Autumn: March 1–15
• Winter: November/December
• Spring: Not open for first-year admission
• Summer: March 1–15

You will find your admission decision and assigned major in your UW Application Portal during the notification period.

• Students admitted to autumn and summer quarters will also receive an offer packet in the mail that contains an official letter with your assigned major, as well as other information about taking the next steps to become a Husky.
• Students invited to the waitlist will see their invitation and instructions for next steps in their UW Application Portal.
• Denied students will see their decision in their UW Application Portal.

Letters of recommendation, portfolios or other supplemental materials are not required for first-year admission. Please do not send them.

MUSIC MAJORS: Students interested in a music major should contact the UW School of Music for information about signing up for an audition.

Check your UW Application Portal. If your application is missing any information we need to complete your review, you will see it listed there, along with instructions to provide the missing items. Please also watch your email for communications, and don’t forget to check your spam folder.

• Check your UW Application Portal and your email! We will communicate with you about your application via your UW Application Portal or by emailing you at the email address you used on your application.
• Set your spam filters to accept email from @uw.edu or @u.washington.edu. This should prevent our communications from going to your spam folder. However, we still recommend checking occasionally to be sure.

If you no longer wish to attend the University of Washington, you may withdraw your application here. If you submit this form, your application will not be considered for admission.
