University Of Washington Graduate School Admission Results

Accepted to the MSc Degree instead

We regret to inform you that we will not be offering you admission to the Ph.D. program at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering. We received over 2200 applications this year and were not able to admit all competitive applicants. The Graduate Admissions Committee evaluated the applications very carefully and had to make difficult decisions, denying admission to many excellent candidates because of the limited number of available slots.

Though this is disappointing, I'm not concerned. I was offered admission to a much better program elsewhere and one I preferred over this.

saw this one coming- congrats to everyone accepted!

Received a form rejection email that appears to have been intended for people who did *not* interview (I did attend the interview Feb 14-16) so it was a bit confusing, but I confirmed via the UW grad application website. Not too disappointed: on paper the program looked like a great match, but in person it turned out that it was not as good of a research interest "fit" as I had imagined, so it's probably for the best for both parties. Best wishes to everyone else!

To u of w poster below, was it Milwaukee or Seattle? And which genre? Thanks

Any update about U of Washington - Seattle? I only saw one acceptance in this forum and nothing more. Thanks!

We review applications based on several criteria in addition to test scores, GPAs, and recommendation letters. Such criteria may include (i) relevance of prior undergraduate degree to graduate education in Industrial & Systems Engineering at the University of Washington; (ii) academic reputation of previous degree institutions; (iii) prior experience with mathematically rigorous research; (iv) prior publications in well-known scholarly journals; and (v) alignment of an applicant’s research interests with our faculty’s ongoing and future research. Many otherwise strong applicants do not rise to among the top few when such criteria are carefully considered.

Great fit. So excited. Very professional and detailed email.

Receiving a nice rejecting email at least.

To the below poster, where is the 50/2100 statistic from?

Disappointed. :(
