I haven't heard anything either... frustrating, I know!

Same thing here, except we picked a new last name, but never got around to changing it. Hopefully someone has some good insight!

Congrats kardell! That is great news! I'm still waiting on financial aid too, but have already accepted so just have my fingers crossed I figured I could give a little insight on having a car since I've been here for a couple years now. It completely depends on where you live! Any of the neighborhoods near UW (University District, Wallingford, Greenlake, etc, etc) are all pretty easy to handle without a car, by bus, bike, even walking depending on location. Parking can be annoying in a lot of areas of Seattle especially around UW and the Social Work Building. I plan on looking for a place in one of these areas so that I don't have to use my car so much. If you have questions about specific areas (accessibility or whatever) feel free to let me know! Congratulations again! I hope you get funding since it is your top choice! Best of luck!

Right now I wish I could have some nice Arizona summer! It has been so cold here lately. But I agree that classes do start very late, which is weird. All of those neighborhoods are nice, you might also check out Ravenna, sort of the same vibe as the other neighborhoods you named. (I also wanted to give you a non-lake area to look at, to help with the confusion )

It is a great city, I've only lived here for about a year and a half (came from Iowa) but it already feels like home. That concentration does seem to be a good fit for your interests. I'm looking at the Mental Health concentration, without a clear direction for what I want to do with it. I've been working in the domestic violence field for almost 5 years, so it seemed the the logical direction. Have you started looking at areas to live? When are you planning on moving? I'm happy to find someone else in the Day Program. Most of the people I met at the prospective student event were in the Extended Degree Program.

Me: "Oh my god! Oh my GOD! OH MY GOD! I GOT IN!" Husband: (in the other room when I opened the email) "Wait! Wait! I want to come in there before you tell me you got accepted!" Puppy: "Everyone is excited! I can bounce around the room like a crazy too!" (tries to knock me over) Dad: "That program is amazing. Top ten, right?" (proceeds to send me 3 emails that evening with information about UW and how much people like them)

Congratulations! I went to part of the prospective student days event... I came away from it feeling like I did too much research about the school before going (which I suppose is not a bad thing). Wasn't really any new information. I presume by your name (AZmsw) that you are coming from Arizona, right? Have you been to Seattle before? Are you doing the Day Program? What concentration are you looking at? Should I stop asking so many questions? Oh, and congratulations again!!

Nope, they don't require the GRE anymore. That was what kept me from applying in the past, I assumed all programs required it. I am horrible at test like that! And thank you for the congrats, it really is an amazing school... I still can't believe I got in!

Can I add "adcom" to this list? I just now figured out that it meant admissions committee....

Well done!

Hello everyone! I've been lurking around for a while, and finally decided to post something. I kept looking for a thread for people going to University of Washington this fall, but since I can't find one, might as well post one. I just accepted my offer and am pretty excited about it. Anyone else accepted the Day Program yet? Might I have people in my cohort on here to talk to this summer? Hopefully there are others, like me, who have been looking for this. If it already exists and I missed it, please redirect me! :-D
