UW has passed all other schools as my #1 choice. After visiting it was locked up. I hope they let me in!!!

Haha, hey everyone, I'm a Seattle native, and if you're ever too enamored with the city, just hop on over to this webcam on top of the Space Needle (http://www.spaceneedle.com/view/webcam.html).

That is, if you can see through the rain drops on the lens lol

I guess Seattle has its own definition for "scattered clouds."

Finally went In Review (2/11) after sitting at "Ready for review" since 12/18

Maybe that will help. You don't really want to go there do you?

Same here. Let's hope for some good news.

I love Seattle, but that really is a lot more accurate than those Photoshopped (probably HDR?) pictures. That actually looks like a fairly nice fall or winter day; no rain, kind of bright. Also, nobody in Seattle ever really goes to the Space Needle.

Anyway, I'm still stuck at "Ready for Review." Maybe next week.

I don't know, that picture is from a pretty horrible vantage point, Seattle is a beautiful city with a great skyline and the surrounding landscape (mountains, Sound, etc) is pretty much unmatched by any major US city IMO. Also the UW campus is amazing, and you will be spending a a lot of time there.

Here are a few good, but realistic pictures of UW and Seattle that I just pulled off of a google image search:

edit: sorry that last one was too big, so I switched it out

These are the pictures we want to avoid ITT. I want some way to justify not feeling like crap when I get rejected, or in my case (from this cycle's experience), waitlisted.

[algren]

Those are just devastatingly beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing... now all I need to do is get in

[heckyes]

My application was sent to UW on November 8th. It went in review on December 29th....where it still remains.

Hope that gives everyone a look (a horrible one at that) at the speed in which University of Washington is making their decisions.....

don't they all know it's killing us?!?! :

Crap, I submitted just before the Jan. 15th deadline. Great, I should receive my waitlist/reject just in time for my 1L spring semester final exams.

[j.wellington]

These pictures are killing me. I visited Seattle for the first time last summer and fell in love with it. Five minutes at Gas Works Park and I knew what my first choice law school was.

Waiting sucks.

I'm in the same boat. Sent my application October 1st, form B was in the following week, went complete sometime in early November, sent for review in December, and my current status reads "In Review" with a status update date of January 13th.

The gears are grinding very slowly. Don't hold your breath waiting

Application sent 10/20. Took Dec LSAT. I'm still "ready for review" as of 12/29. FML

They have to send out a good bit by March, right? Otherwise they risk losing a lot of qualified applicants.

[nonsequitur]

I got an e-mail from the UW financial aid office at 10pm Pacific Time, but no acceptance letter yet.

Anyone else experience this?

Just before the weekend too. Have to wait a---ll the way till Monday to get someone on the phone.

More qualified applicants they lose...more they can let in from the waitlist

+1, I think anyone that sent their FAFSA info to UW got the e-mail, its speculation, but I doubt it means anything as far as admittance.

"We have received your financial aid application for the 2010-11 year. If
you are a continuing student or are admitted to the UW" - From email

To relieve your concerns, and eliminate a need to contact the Financial Aid office on Monday, the deadline for FAFSA is 2/15, and for applicants who completed a FAFSA as of 2/12 and listed UW, they received this email. I agree, this has nothing to do with being admitted, which is supported by "..or are admitted to the UW." This is standard procedure by the FA office.

[JOThompson]

After seeing those pictures, I'm tempted to drive to Seattle for the three day weekend. Thanks

Just for anyone who might have been as freaked out as I was upon reading this: in order to receive priority consideration for financial aid at UW your FAFSA has to be received by Feb. 28, not Monday.

I guessed as much from the wording, but wanted to see if this was widespread.

That likely explains things. I finished my FASFA early this year. Thanks.

I just received my acceptance letter! I really didn't expect this given that I'm not a WA resident, my average LSAT score is 163 and my GPA is 3.26. Needless to say, I'm SO EXCITED!!!
