newms Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Many of the people that received notifications from UWashington today say that 8% of 11200 applicants were accepted. When I first saw it I thought the poster meant 1200 applicants. But many people have since repeated it. Could UWashington really have received 11200 applicants? I'm wondering if maybe there was a typo in the batch email because 8% of 11200 is almost 900 admits. Surely those numbers must be wrong right? I think MIT had 2700 applicants last year. Edit: Oh, it's for the entire grad school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtncffts Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Well, I'm quite certain that isn't the correct number. Perhaps it's the university-wide number of applicants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it is definitely wrong,... it is just not possible ? so it is probably 1120 or 1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsi Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i got the rejection email today too. it actually does say 1,1200. i think you're right--it's just a typo in the email and 1200 is probably the correct number Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
achapiro Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i got the rejection email today too. it actually does say 1,1200. i think you're right--it's just a typo in the email and 1200 is probably the correct number Here's the quote from the rejection e-mail: "We received 1,1200+ applications this year and were able to admit about 8%." Probably a typo. Bummer for the rejection though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewtwo Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Got rejected. Oh well, I wasn't super thrilled of moving to the northern West Coast anyway. If I fly across the country, there better be good weather =). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man & the C(S) Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Has anyone else here still heard nothing from them? This isn't the answer you are looking for, but a friend of mine got a no yesterday. No "no" is good...right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
