I *finally* got an e-mail from the fellowship. I was granted 6k... which I'm pretty darn happy about. I almost didn't see it because it came late in the afternoon and I just realized as I was going through my emails a day or so later. I haven't heard any other information... at the student day a month or two ago... they said we would be registering by June 20th (as a tentative date)... Not so sure

I e-mailed them with no response... Not responsive at all!

It seems that @morningjunky got 7k... Haven't heard about anyone else. I applied but haven't heard. I tried e-mailing swschol last week but haven't received any e-mail back

Has anyone else heard about the tuition fellowship?

I spoke to someone at the prospective student day (I have already accepted my loan offer but I haven't heard back from the tuition fellowship...). He told me that if you accepted a lot of financial aid, you can ask the office to not disperse your loan. BUT.. I will probably need my loans regardless.

Congrats on hearing back! I almost wish I had applied but I was so conflicted... (sigh) I went to the prospective students day today. Seems that tuition fellowship applicants may hear back by next week. I hope so!

Did you hear back? It is Saturday but that's when I heard back. 4pm PST on a Sat... not the time I'd imagine...

Oh no! When I sent it off, I got an email back immediately confirming that they received my app

I've decided on UW. I'm born and raised Seattle which should make me move out and do something different but... I love this city and it makes sense financially as I have a very reasonable landlord. On top of that, I cut my living expenses as my boyfriend now lives with me. I'm so excited to get started!!

I applied for early decision as well, but I received my response Feb 13th. I turned it down pretty quickly after I heard back from UW about two weeks later. They were really hard to get ahold of and somewhat deflecting. The big hint I got was that I received a financial aid notice 24hr before my official letter. I'm sorry they're dragging you out so long!!!! It seems like that's somewhat common for them... :/

Good news: I received my financial aid award already! This is just... essentially for the loans. Haven't heard anything back from the fellowship tuition application.

Cool! I will be on my way to Hawaii so I can't make that session (my life.. is pretty tough sometimes haha). I hope you have opportunities to do some roaming around the city.

Nope! It seems that they will be releasing financial aid info in May. It's really *really* late.

Actually, since light rail is starting up... South side wouldn't be terrible... but really only if it is close to a light rail location. The station that will be closest to UW is actually by the hospital (not super close to social work building.. but it ain't bad). So... Along light rail would be... Capital hill, Mount Baker, Columbia City, Rainier Beach... Rainier Beach is the furthest southeast you can get in city. Taking Light rail instead of a bus would be significantly faster (from Rainier to UW stadium would be 30... Cap hill to UW... 4 minutes. That last one is not a typo). I currently live in the NW part of Seattle and I am fortunate that there is a bus line right outside my house that takes me straight to UW. Its hard to pinpoint all the neighborhoods with direct bus access.. since there are so many... but Wallingford and Ballard are along the 44 route. I am by the current 48 route (Loyal Heights, Crown hill, Greenlake). Pinehurst/Northgate/Roosevelt is another that would be accessible by the 73 or 67 route. I guess what I'm realizing at the end of this long long post... UW is basically "2nd downtown" when it comes to bus service. There is so much stuff that runs through... So there are a lot of opportunities. If you like south side more, start with those neighborhoods first!

Starting the thread! Will be entering the 2 year Day program. I am a Seattlelite and attended UW for my UG in Speech and Hearing Sciences. Funny enough, its connected to the Social Work building. Just wanted to throw things out there and share some excitedness. It seems that many people may be coming in from out of state so if you have any questions about the city as a whole... Let me know!
