*** A WA Residency questionnaire/form must be submitted and reviewed by the school before they decide on sending you a secondary**
Please share the Secondary essay prompts when available and tag a moderator.

Good luck to all applying!

Interview Feedback:
 
Hey all, incoming MS1 here. Feel free to shoot me any questions you have about the application process, happy to help.
 
Does anyone know if they send you the residency verification documents? Or do we need to seek this out and send to them?

You will receive an email from the school about residency verification.

Just got an email that they are re-doing their systems and that I should expect an email in the next few weeks.
 
+1 IS MSTP secondary received!

"An invitation to submit a secondary application is a very positive and meaningful sign from our MSTP. We receive approximately 600 primary applications each year. We directors read every primary application personally and invite about 1 in 4 (that is, about 150 applicants) to submit secondary materials. Of these 150 secondary applications, we will invite about 60 applicants to interview. So an invitation to submit secondary materials means you have passed a major step in our admission process."
