wat is the minimum SAT score to get into U-Dub..i mean like d average out of 2400..n im taking ib diploma will IB make it easier for me to get into U-Dub????

It's going to be even harder for a time - the budget is being cut deeply - UW admitted no new students for Spring - and the numbers of incoming freshmen will also be cut.

They are looking at 1,000 positions (mostly staff) to be cut or unfilled in the next budget.

Its very hard to get into U-Dub if you are from out of state...

Is it hard for a Floridian to get there? I don't mean the 5,000 miles trip but the admission. I want to get there, badly!!!

It's very tough to get in as a non-resident. I applied to be a freshman from Louisiana and didn't get in -- but, determined to attend UW, I moved here (Seattle) and attended a local community college (Shoreline).

I just finished my transfer application a couple weeks ago, and am pretty confident that I'll get in (average accepted college transfer GPA is 3.45, I have 3.8, and some nice extracurriculars).

If you have a goal, go for it. Moving here was the best decision I've made.

[AlvinHDavernport]

Wow! I see you were determined, and I hope you get accepted!

Thanks for the info. So by your comments I infer Seattle is as nice as I've always thought it is (or is it not?). Good thing, given that my goals to attending to UW come from the very dream of living in that city.

[r1dd3l3r]

how long did it take for you to get residency in washington?

[koggit]

how long to meet the conditions, or how long for the university to grant it?

i lived in washington for about 2.5 yrs before applying to UW -- they gave me resident status about 2 months after granting admission

[r1dd3l3r]

both?

I want to go to UW for astronomy so badly!

[colm0156]

I'm liking UW med school. Is it hard to get in?

[murphicus]

Very. If you are out of state, even tougher. One of my house mates is 3rd year.

[colm0156]

Damn! Oh well, not the end of the world i guess

[mating412]

It's my dream to apply there for a PhD in applied mathematics. I am so pretentious but I can try

[murphicus]

Hey go for it! A journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step! Good Luck!

[kevinlovessnow]

Winter 2007? Do you have a time machine?

[murphicus]

Hmmm... It was after January 1, 2007 and before March 21, 2007 so that would make it Winter of 2007... Unless Cheney has decided to move things around and forgot to tell the rest of us...

[emosareghey]
