Just got the call from the Dean of Admissions! Accepted to the PhD program. My Advisor will call me later this week. Accepted Students days are March 5th and 6th.
Congratulations!
I also got the call from the Dean informing me of my acceptance into the PhD (HDLT) program! Good luck to everyone else still waiting.

Hi again!
I had a phone call with my potential advisor at UW last week. The purpose of the phone call was to offer an opportunity for me to ask questions, and the conversation was entirely unofficial and did not discuss the status of my application. It sounds like they are making final decisions soon, and then official letters will be sent out in 3-4 weeks. However, my potential advisor said that once final decisions are made, professors are allowed to individually contact applicants to give them unofficial notification of their acceptance.
Congrats on your acceptances! That's awesome! Sorry to hear Cambridge doesn't have any funding for you... It was my understanding that all research-intensive Ph.D. programs offered funding packages, so that's surprising to hear. Washington State is requiring a decision by March 1st?! I thought every program gave until April 15th for applicants to make decisions?
Good luck to you with UW! Hopefully decisions will be made by March 1st!

Wow! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm pretty surprised that they only gave you until noon tomorrow to respond. Tight timeline... Who is doing the interview? Is it the adcom or a professor?
Thanks! Yeah, it does seem like a tight timeline. The interview is with the professors whose research interests align with my own.

Ah ok. Thanks for the info and good luck on your interview. At this point I think it's healthier to lower my expectations and be pleasantly surprised if I do get the email over the weekend.
That's how I felt earlier today. It was definitely a pleasant surprise!
For anyone wondering, here are some of my stats:
- Went to undergrad at an R1 public state university.
- Undergrad GPA: 3.99
- GRE: Above 95th percentile for verbal and writing. Above 65th percentile for quantitative.
- 4+ years of social science research experience (combined undergrad and post-bac).
- Emailed with professors prior to submission of my application.

Oh wow! Congrats!
Thanks!
It seems like they are sending them out one-by-one. In the email, they asked me to confirm by tomorrow at noon. So maybe they are working through the weekend to continue coordinating and sending emails out? I wouldn't give up hope yet (like I had earlier today)!

I just received an email inviting me for an interview next week. I am an HDLT applicant.
Good luck everyone!

@jmaroon would you mind PM-ing me as well? Thank you!

Hi!
I also applied to the Learning Sciences and Human Development doctoral program at University of Washington. I received an email today confirming that all of my materials have been received and will be reviewed on January 27th. Do you know if they do interviews before making decisions about acceptances?
Good luck to you!

Congratulations! I also received an acceptance email earlier this week! Have you heard anything about funding? All of my other programs have discussed the funding package in the acceptance letter, but UW didn't mention anything. Do you know what the funding situation typically is for this program?
