University of Washington (UW) ABSN

Published

I haven't seen any posts about the University of Washington ABSN program for 2024, so thought I would start one. I know the application cycle is mostly over, but thought this would be a good place to support each other in the coming months. 

I was admitted for both Spring and autumn and chose Autumn. Im super excited, but a little nervous about the postbac app, I just hope everything goes smoothly and no hiccups with the two separate apps. Did anyone apply to both Spring and fall and submit both postbac apps? I submitted my Spring one before finding out I got in. They are slightly different, and that makes me a bit nervous. 

I would love to get to know some other admitted students!

Hey! I was admitted for both Spring and fall as well but I ended up going with Spring. I'm still waiting to hear back about my post bacc application. Makes me nervous that I haven't heard anything yet but they did say it's pretty rare you would get into the Nursing program and not get in at the university level

Hi! I also was accepted to both the Spring and Autumn 24' start dates but chose Autumn. I submitted my app for Spring right before finding out I got in too and when I went to start the Autumn post-bac I noticed it was slightly different from Spring's. It doesnt have as many sections and says Application for Post-bac (day programs) in parenthesis next to it which I'm almost positive the Spring post-bac  didn't say. Is this what yours looks like too? I tried to email admissions to see if this is the correct application as I don't want to submit and pay for the wrong one but haven't heard back yet. I tried to start a new app from the same UW portal home page where I submitted my post-bac for Spring but when I selected to start a new post-bac application via that method, it won't allow me to select Nursing (ABSN) as my major because it says there is no term available. Overall, I'm pretty confused so any advice would be appreciated as to how to access the right post-bac app!!

Hi! It's nice to meet you! I am excited that you chose fall as well!

For me, the noticeable differences between the two apps were that Spring asked for my high school information and asked me to directly upload transcripts, while fall did not ask me those things. I didn't notice that it said day programs but could have missed that. I found the fall application through the website. I just Googled postbac app UW fall 2024 and found the link at the bottom of the page. I submitted this app on Christmas Day and received an email saying that they had received my postbacc app for Autumn 2024. I am still a little nervous something went wrong, but I followed all the steps and submitted the app and sent transcripts. Not much else to do. It is nerve wracking having to do another app after getting in.

For the Autumn app, are you able to select Nursing (ABSN) as the major? If so, youre probably good to go and on the right track. I figure it wouldn't have had that option if it wasn't the correct app. 

Maybe reach out to them again and the school of nursing to double check that you have the right application. 

Let me know what happens!

Hey, I really want to go to UW. Would you mind sharing the status of your application and your experience?
