If this article on limited transfer to UW is accurate, mine just got a lot messier. Anyone know the details for transfer from institutions other than community college?
I don't know the details, but that really looks like a "stiff the poor" program to me. I hope that Minnesota and Wisconsin don't get the same idea; I'm a year and a half away from graduating. >_
Unfortunately Washington is a two-company state and even the Evil Empire of Microsoft can't support a state budget single-handedly; *everyone's* poor these days. But this does make the other UW look better : )
Yeah. Can't help, but this is exactly what I was talking about before. I just got early word because I was on the college newspaper. The community college transfers are being funneled into the main stream of students, and students I knew were taking massive credit loads in order to get in under the transfer agreement, with the full knowledge that they'd probably have to take deferred enrollment.
What you should be aware of is that part of the reason for the article is to squeeze the state for funding. A friend of mine did get into UW medical school with full scholarship, so credentials still count.
Med school is a different issue entirely; graduate & professional students have sources of funding that aren't available to undergrads. (Which means that, as a graduate student, I'd be all set, had I no personal life and no feeling for my students . . . )
I knew there was going to be a crunch with the end of the DTA; one of my cousins just got rejected from Western Washington as a graduating high school senior for reasons that appear primarily to involve overcrowding; and I'm perfectly happy to help squeeze the state for funding. But do you know whether the pipeline of community college students is still being kept separate from transfers from out-of-state institutions? (Are all forms of transfer blocked entirely unless the state comes through?)
Thanks. Spring or summer is the earliest I'll get in, according to the advisor I talked to, so I'm going to look at other schools in the area.
The advisor seemed awfully flaky, so I'd call Admissions and check, but she seemed to think all transfers were being deferred, not just the community college students. It does seem like they'd be leaving themselves wide open to accusations of anti-poor prejudice if they just denied us CC folks.
Indeed it would, but since community college transfer students come in as juniors it seemed not impossible that they'd have space for people who aren't quite on the same track . . . Anyway, the website says everything is closed till spring or possibly summer.
What other schools *are* there in the area? I know there's UW-Bothell and Tacoma, and Seattle Pacific University, but since they don't have math grad programs (and, unlike the community colleges, don't employ graduates from our master's program) they're below my radar most of the time.
