University of Washington admits???


Recommended Posts

Noticed a good handful of them over the past few days, congrats to all of us! I'd just thought it'd be nice to get a scope of a potential cohort, and who might we see on campus visit day.

I'm an international student so I'd probably have a pretty different background and potential experience at Udub than most would. But then again, don't we all?

Seattle is beyond amazing! I did my undergrad there and lived there an additional year when I took a year off for grad apps. If you choose the UW, you're gonna love the city and all it has to offer.

Unfortunately I have a conflicting visit already planned and won't be attending the UW visit day, but would love to hear your thoughts/impressions after the visit day!

It is pretty expensive though. A buddy of mine works for Amazon up there and pays the same per month for his rental as I do mine. I live in a 3 bedroom townhouse, he lives in a tiny apartment.

 

Lots of coffee up there though. That is always good.

I mean, yeah of course. But it also depends where you live and if you have roommates.

Hi greengoose. I didn't apply to the PhD at UW, but I did study for my BA there. This included enrolling in some graduate coursework and getting to know a lot of the PhD students in the History Department, where I was also a student.

 

I'll never run out of positive things to say about the department and my professors there. If you tell me what you intend to focus on, I may be able to give you some specifics, provided I know your proposed advisors. Let me know!
