Hi all. Asking this question for a family member and appreciate the current insights. UW accepts something like 0.4% of OOR candidates, to my understanding. What % of OOR candidates are invited to submit the Secondary application? Unlike many other schools, I hear UW does a significant screening for ties to the region/state before sending the Secondary out. Do you have a sense of what % of OOR candidates who are sent a Secondary are later offered interviews and/or accepted? If one makes it past the initial regional screen, i.e., approved to be sent a Secondary, are the odds still 0.4% or do they get a little better?

Based on data from 2022, it looks like 53.8% of OOR applicants that receive a secondary also receive an interview. Of those that interview 27.4% receive an acceptance.

Reposting this from the 2022-2023 thread because I was not previously aware of this (if it is true!) -

Just curious: anyone know usually how long it takes to hear back from interviews for the various cohorts? I heard from multiple people it can be really quick, but I just want to know what to expect as my interview is upcoming. Thanks in advance :)

Cohort dependent. For Spokane, A calls are (generally) on Friday of the same interview week. For Seattle, A calls are (generally) on Wednesday or Thursday of the following week. SUC and R emails usually come later (1-2 days) after the day of A calls. But I might be wrong so pls feel free to chime in.

Also just got an R after receiving the SUC email three times over the past few months since my interview... Really thought they were going to give me the A, I figured they would drag it out but thought I would get it. Guess not. :(

Has anyone this cycle been accepted after a SUC or are we likely waiting for February? Also, do we have stats of what the acceptance rate is for those who receive a SUC?

+1 Post-II R. OOR. Had a feeling after my interview. Pain. Moving forward regardless of the outcome is always necessary but hard.

For those that have interviewed, what's your advice on interview prep, did you feel like most of your questions came from the "UW list" of questions?

how long does it usually take for the email to schedule your interview take to receive since the invite?

After the invite email, I was able to schedule on my portal. Then I got an email a few days later confirming the time and date. That confirmation email might've been a bot delayed because it was right in the middle of the holidays.

Same, except my interview confirmation came about 2 weeks later. I scheduled my interview for about a month after I received the II though, so it was a ways out. They probably send the confirmations out once they fill all the interview slots for the day/week

Realized I won’t be able to go to the virtual visit day tomorrow because of work but already RSVP’d. Not sure how to cancel, since there’s no email. Is it cool if I just no-show?

They don't take attendance, so it should be fine. The RSVP is mainly so they can reach out to you in case there are technical difficulties.
