srinair Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Hey there... Did anyone receive admits/rejects? I am still waiting
shima Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Hi Dear UW is different from other admissions. YOU should find an advisor and if you don't you will be rejected. I found it more difficult than usual admissions with admission committee. It seems that they do not look for an international student at all.
srinair Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 Oh yes,,, seems that they do not need intl students... but i feel thats its more to do with the fact that they want all intl students to come to UW only with funding I contacted a prof and he agreed to be my advisor... finally in the last few days of march it turned out that he is a faculty associate and hence cant be an advisor... i was devastated... there was no time to find a replacement advisor since all profs had enuf students already... Had they informed me this earlier i cud have convinced some other prof... time has run out for me... can expect a direct reject this week without even my application being reviewed... Very sad... How can they ever reject without even looking at the strength of the application...
shima Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Yes, That is true. they will reject without reviewing. But, I think that some of new projects will be accepted and maybe some prof. need student. You should keep contacting with them, however I believe that it is a hard work to seek an advisor personally. I think that UW is like Cornel in getting International Students. It is unfair.... :x
srinair Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 yes its definately unfair... and soon no intl student will app there
