Yeah, I still am an undergrad here. 1 1/2 quarters left!! 👍

Just wondering, b/c your sn has three d's, instead of the usual ADIDAS.

I also go here too. I am just taking classes that interest me now. How weird that someone else on the UW campus checks SDN as well.... :laugh:

Umm about 7 years ago or so aim wouldnt let me create adidas because someone else took it. *****!!!

Whats yours??? 🙂
 
If UW doesn't pan out, I am going to UVA! I also got into G'town, but UVA is still my top choice of places I have heard back from.

Good luck to everyone on friday - maybe we'll all be part of the March 3rd excom meeting bolus of acceptances ;-)

I can't seem to dissociate the word "bolus" from the definition I learned the first time I heard it: a big wad of chewed food in one's mouth. :barf:

Well... What is the Ka of that? The term, bolus must be very insoluble in saliva then. :laugh:

Tomorrow is a big day! Lets hope we get something good in our stockings! I have been good so far this yr.

I thought I could avoid you in Allen library! :scared: :scared: :scared:
 
I think the ex comm is meeting right now! :luck: I'm praying.
 
I called the office. I wanted to be sure that they were meeting today. They started the meeting at 2PM. They are ending at 6PM tonight. There better be movement! 🙂
 
I think the EXCOM meeting was done already. let keep our fingers cross for this meeting. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE, include me. :luck:
 
If Seahawks win SB tomorrow, we'll all here good news Monday.

If not... :scared:

Go Hawks!! 👍 👍
 
should i even bother applying to UW if i am not a washington resident. i received my undergraduate degree from there as an out-of-stater, alaskan resident(now i live in sunny southen california). does UW give any preferences to there undergrad alumni?

Do you ever see your interviewer in the hall in the Health Science Bldg? Or someone else who is on the Admissions Committee? I wonder if they have pic's of us that they look at, b/c it doesn't ever seem like they recognise me... But I always try to smile sweetly, just in case.... 🙂

No preference to undergrad alumni (i've heard statistically you're LESS likely to get in if you went to UW as an undergrad). If you're an alaska resident though, you can get in thru the WWAMI program, but if you're a California resident I don't think you have much of a chance.
 
Go Hawks!!!!!!

Go Competitive Pool Applicants!!!!!!

I see Dr. Samson sometimes. I dont see any of my interviewers at all. I am always in my best behavior whenever I am out and about. :laugh:

Hey aspiringdoc did you interview on Nov 15th???
 
adiddas125 said:

No, I was interviewed on Nov 2, so it's been three months since i was in the competitive pool, good luck to you, I hope we can be classmates at UW.
 
Hey Socal78,

I'm from Minnesota, and I just found out last week I got an interview at UW, so it is possible! In order to be considered if you're out of the WWAMI system, you do need to either be an underrepresented minority or have expressed a desire to work with the underserved . (I qualify for the latter.) I don't know what my chances are of actually being accepted, but at least I got an interview. (And I applied on the last possible day!)

That game was sucky to start with. The Refs were seriously mentally incapacitated to even make good calls. 😡 Either that or they were seriously wanting the east coast to have another super bowl. The Refs made some really really really terrible calls! 😡 I felt real bad for the hawks considering they were screwed over so many times. Well here is to the 06 mariners this year.... (I am hopeful we arent last place in the western division this yr)....

Yeah, it's like the league has already decided who should win, before the game even started! Argh, i shouldn't have watched the game. I'm like the ultimate toxic fan-- I don't remember the last time I watched a sports game (of any kind) where the team I was rooting for won. Why can't my team win for once?!

the refs sucked BUT so did dropped passes and injuries...

I am not saying the seahawks didnt have their mistakes. They had a few, but there were times when the hawks could have won the game with the momentum flowing their way, but everytime momentum was mounting for the hawks the refs just ripped out the rug underneath the team.

That TD (supposed TD) from Rothelesberger (Worthlessberger) was not a TD, that ball was outside the chalk. Bah I know why they call the super bowl the biggest stage in pro sports now... Because the outcome is already known!!!

There was only so much adversity that the hawks could deal with, and the SUPER BOWL MVP goes to the Refs!
 
what is the online site for checking status?
 
Did anyone's status change yet? It is 8:28AM right now, just wondering... (Still recovering from the pounding from the NFL Refs)

MY STATUS PAGE DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL, DID YOURS CHANGE?

I am nowhere close to recovery. I had never seen such a thing. Every "controversial" call (personally think wrong call) was against seattle. How that can be? It is Monday morning after this loss and my status has not changed. What is it out there that can chear me up, I am wondering? (I hope my depression is not affecting anybody in a negative way, but you people can understand me probably better than anybody else)

I got the email about being in the pool for consideration at 8:38a

Someone help a rookie out here...

When is the next mtg that WA residents will be considered? How do you read this interview schedule? Some EXCOM black squares are colored, some aren't but say "XX Final EXCOM" where XX is not WA, etc.

2/10: Yellow
2/15: Orange
2/17: Blank, but says WY Final EXCOM
2/24: Blank, but says MSTP, MT Final EXCOM
3/1: Green
3/3: Blank, but says AK Final EXCOM
3/10: Blank, but says MSTP, ID Final EXCOM
3/15, 3/17: Blank
3/22-3/24: Final EXCOM

Don't go to any Huskies football games! lol
 
DID ANYONE'S STATUS PAGE CHANGE? they met for 4 hours last week, SO THEY should have pulled some students from the competitive pool. Also, aren't they supposed to fill up their class. IT'S FEBRUARY ALREADY. Since october, I only heard a few people got accepted, less than 10. I thought they want to fill up their class soon. I'M SO TIRED OF WAITING. ANOTHER MONTH TO WAIT for the NEXT MEETING.

my sentiments exactly.

this is all the Seahawks' fault.
 
No status change for me... 🙁

I don't blame it on the Seahawks though... it's those darn Ref's!! 😡
 
The Game:

Two very important bad calls lost us two touchdowns and the game:
1) The bogus pass interference call on a touchdown reception (yes he touched the defender, but in no way did that interfere with his ability to make an interception.)

2) The bogus holding call on our 1 yd line reception (there was absolutely no holding on the replay!!!.) That would have been an easy TD.

The Status Page:

No change for me. I wonder if the information has been uploaded at this point (10:45am)??
 
I just called the admissions office and got a bit of a frustrating response: that my application had not been reviewed at the most recent meeting because there were too many applications for them to get through. I wonder how many that is?

In that case, I wonder if anybody at all in the competitive pool was reviewed. 🙁
 
Damnit, I feel so sad. No movement. Damn the refs. Its their freaking fault.
 
Ok, I called a second time and spoke to Pat Fero. It is now my understanding that probably very few 'final decisions' will be made before the mid March EXCOM meetings.

On an unrelated side note...

While looking up the phone number for the office, I ran across the competitive pool email I received post-interview that had the following statement in it: "Last
year 39% of the applicants who received this letter were eventually
accepted or put on an alternate list."

So, what's the REAL chance of ending up with a seat in the class come fall?

regarding your sidenote. Yes, I definitely gave a raised eyebrow when I got that email. As if they are trying to make us feel better. I don't want to be on an alternate list, dammit!

Does anybody know how many acceptances they've given out thus far?
