Hi everybody, I was wondering if there were any current UW students who wouldn't mind sharing their stats they applied and got accepted with. Or if anybody else is applying to UW and wants to share theirs below, I'd love to see if I even have a shot as I know it's a very competitive program. I'll leave my states below 🙂 If anybody has any input, I'd love to hear. I am also applying to SJSU, USC, USA San Marcos, CSU and UPS.

Hi,

I applied to SJSU, USA San Marcos, and UW as well last year. I was accepted to SJSU and USA San Marcos, but UW I was rejected. I think your stats are higher so you have a better chance than I did. Below are my stats if it helps.

Major: Public Health Sciences
GPA: 3.70
GRE: 155V, 149 Q, 4.0 AWA
Volunteer:
-80 Research Lab (Shadowing OT)
-100 Neurofeedback Tech (During Undergrad Practicum)
-121 Pediatric Clinic
-25 Animal Assisted Therapy
-112 Hand Therapy Clinic

If you have any questions regarding to SJSU or USA San Marcos, let me know or direct message me! I would be happy to help. Ultimately I went with SJSU due to cost.

Good luck! 🙂

When I applied last year they sent out the emails on March 4th, so I’m hoping it will be just as early this year! I’ve been anxiously waiting since January haha.
