Thanks for creating this and including all of the links.

UW is still one of my top choices. Just waiting on scholarship and aid info.

Can't wait to visit in April!

I'd say 95% chance I'll be at UW. Unless something spectacular happens in the next few months, I'm looking forward to sticking around Puget Sound. Good to know that the train station will finally be finished, too!

.

Does anyone know if the scholarship info will be sent to our regular emails or to our UW emails?

.

Thanks, that was my understanding but I just wanted to double check.

Also, someone should create the Facebook group for our class. I tried but you have to add at least one friend to create a group and idk anyone else who is admitted here, though I suppose I could add a random friend.

"Your UW NetID is your personal identification and username for using UW online resources. You will also need to set up your UW NetID in order to receive notification that your financial aid award is ready for your review ... the Office of Student Financial Aid will notify you only to your UW e-mail address that your financial aid award is ready and prepared for your review, modification, acceptance, or rejection."

Source: admitted students portal. Which I'm glad I checked because I totally forgot to set my account up. :/

Financial aid award info goes to uw email address. Law school scholarship info, including Gates and Gregoire, goes to the email address registered with LSAC.

I agree, haha. I don't know anyone else who has been accepted to UW (hence, the same problem), but a FB group sounds like a great idea.

I am not super duper sure, since I don't use facebook, but I think someone from admissions has made the facebook "class of" page in past years. I could definitely be wrong about this.

The website says it's student-run and that once someone makes the page they will send out a link in the next newsletter.

The fb page is student run. Sometimes the upperclassmen start it up. Maybe someone will do it after finals.

Thanks for clarifying and thank you for volunteering one of your classmates to start up the fb page.

Good luck with finals!

Has anyone received their scholarship offers yet?

Nope. Still waiting.

Good to know it's not just me. They did say they would be released the week after the apps were due, right? The page has been taken down so I can't check

Yeah, they're supposed to be released the week after March 15th. But, I think one person posted in the UW Applicants page that he called admissions, and they told him, "early next week." Maybe they pushed decisions back?

What page is that? And darn, I really need this info! I have deposit deadlines coming up

It was me that had contacted admissions. This is what I got back:

"Scholarships will only be sent to UW e-mails, not personal e-mails. We had a slight hold up earlier this week due to complications with UW Central Registrar processing admitted students for us. We’re working to get scholarship packages sent out as soon as we can, by early next week at the latest."

I have only been able to set up email forwarding. Can someone help me figure out how to set up our actual UW emails?
