newms Posted February 5, 2011 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.
wtncffts Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Well, I'm quite certain that isn't the correct number. Perhaps it's the university-wide number of applicants?

I'd say it is definitely wrong,... it is just not possible ? so it is probably 1120 or 1200
pepsi Posted February 5, 2011 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
achapiro Posted February 5, 2011 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...
mewtwo Posted February 5, 2011 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 =).
Azazel Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Has anyone else here still heard nothing from them?
Old Man & the C(S) Posted February 5, 2011 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?
