Anyone applying to the UW SoN for fall 2013? Anyone else FREAKING OUT about it like I am?

Does anyone know how many they select for the proctored essay? I know they accept 96 students into the program.

Congrats to everyone who made it one step closer! Once you complete the proctored essay, they re-evaluate the whole application where each piece is looked at.

Finally got an invitation email..!
I couldn't sleep until the early morning because I was so anxious if I could make it to the proctored essay.
Looks like I will be doing out-of-area proctored essay since I live in Northern Marianas Island.
Now I need to brainstorm what I am going to write on my essay...

Hello Everyone!
I got my email around 2:07pm today asking me to write the proctored essay. What a relief!
I read on the UW SoN website that after the proctored essay, essentially 76 positions are available to be filled, and 15 spots on the waitlist.....
I'm really curious about what to expect of the proctored essay.....maybe I shouldn't overthink it too much?
Congrats to everyone who was invited and good luck!

96 people are accepted each year...
My cohort this year is 96 and the years previous to that as well
i also got an invite :)...now im stressing out about the topics and time limit@JLoya when you done with the essay do they strictly look at the proctored essay or do they consider the WHOLE application?

Everything is weighted as a total package...
Congrats for making it through the BIG cut.... The ratio is much smaller now, and much more competitive....

You choose one of 3-4 essays. Very opinion based. and some math problems. Easily finished with the time limit.

To all the people who got in:
a) what does your volunteering look like
b) what was your natural science GPA
Thanks! I don't think I made the cut because of my lack of volunteering hours. Oh and no foreign language.

I got a straight rejection email. It didn't say why...just that 'due to the competitive nature of the program they could not offer me a spot in the program'. They made it very clear that they won't be taking calls or emails regarding why you got rejected and to check statistics when they post them in April. Hm. I thought for sure I would at least make it to the proctored essay.

I got an invitation!
I'm new to this forum and after going back through the threads I wanted to let OBrienMP know that our academic history is very similar. I'm 33 and had several horrible years of college in my early days and of course I had to retake everything in the last two years. Granted the classes were taken over 10 years ago but I was certainly dreading I would be haunted by it.
