Those who've already been admitted: did you find out about financial aid with your acceptance, or is that sent later? I haven't gotten my results yet, but from prior forums it sounds like financial aid is not sent out until later (sometimes as late as April/May) and that it is limited and mostly loans... but that's just info I've gathered from the forums I was admitted to Berkeley today (YAY!!!!) with a fellowship, which is very exciting and makes the decision difficult. Not hearing back from UW is driving me a little nuts, although now that I've at least heard from Berkeley I'm able to breath again lol.

I'm a WA resident anyway, so without any aid it'd still be wayyyyyyyy more affordable than my other options. Congrats on Berkeley!!
Anne_Kathleen Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 Got an email this evening stating that I have been accepted to the day program! No word on financial aid yet.

KaylaJay Posted March 17, 2017 Posted March 17, 2017 I was accepted into the day program as well!!!!!! Just got the e-mail this evening. I am so excited! Although no word on funding is a bit tough, hoping to hear back about that one soon. It feels awesome to be accepted though!

Jeremy_A_C Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 I applied for the 3 year program in late December, and received my acceptance e-mail last night at 9PM. Good luck to all who are still waiting!
TBMSW2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Hey all! I was accepted 3/14. They didnt include the financial aid in the email, but they will send out a notice literally the next day. I spoke with the financial aid office, a rep. talked me through my options and was very pleasant and upfront. I now have my financial aid award letter. Waiting on schools for responses: Portland State, San Jose State

Did you just call the UW financial aid office and ask about what you have been awarded? Edited March 20, 2017 by Anne_Kathleen
TBMSW2017 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 @Anne_Kathleen Yep, I called and she was able to release the package, but you have to set up your UW ID and password in order to access the actual letter.

ryyc Posted March 20, 2017 Author Posted March 20, 2017 Congratulations everybody!!! It's all super exciting. Anyone else still waiting? I hope they release results soon! I don't know how much more waiting I can take.

I don't know how much more waiting I can take. I'm still waiting too. They're the only program out of 6 I haven't heard from yet, and if I get in I'll definitely go, so it's nerve-wracking!

What schools have you been accepted to? So far I have been accepted to UCLA and Columbia, but I'm really hoping for UW.

Would love to go to Columbia, but regardless of how their fin aid turns out I don't know how I could justify the cost
Rose2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I'm still waiting too.... and it's really hard having to make decisions about other programs while still waiting to hear if you got into others!
TBMSW2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 For folks who applied for the UW Day program and waiting to hear back on financial aid... you should definitely call the office and ask if they have a package ready for you. It worked for me, I have my package already. Anne_Kathleen 1
tilpro Posted March 22, 2017 Posted March 22, 2017 Anyone hear about rejection or waitlist yet? Does not hearing by now about the 2 or 3 year option mean that I'm likely rejected? Is it common for them to send waves of acceptances?

Does not hearing by now about the 2 or 3 year option mean that I'm likely rejected? Is it common for them to send waves of acceptances? Still waiting here. I called in this morning and the person I spoke to said they review applications on a rolling basis and so I assume they kind of judge it on the spot and make a decision. I'm guessing they have been sending acceptances, rejections and waitlists in waves. Don't lose hope! Although the wait definitely feels discouraging...
ryyc Posted March 22, 2017 Author Posted March 22, 2017 Though to go off that, has anyone gotten a rejection or is on the alternate list?
Lfreeze Posted March 23, 2017 Posted March 23, 2017 I just got my acceptance today, about an hour ago. I applied for the 3 year program with the weekend option as my first choice and evening program as my second choice - my acceptance email said I was chosen for the evening program. I'm not sure if this is negotiable but I guess I'll make it work. For those that are still waiting, hang in there!
