UW Seattle Fall 2022 BSN

Updated:   Published

Hi future nurses ?
I have started to submit materials to all of the schools that I am applying to this year (yippie!) and saw that the University of Washington's BSN program application opened today. 
I thought it might be fun to start a thread for this cohort of applicants for questions, comments, worries, etc. 
I am a post-bacc student with a sub-par GPA (3.1 undergrad in Sociology with a 3.6 pre-requisite GPA). I previously earned my CNA license in another state, and I am hoping to get it reinstated in Washington here in the next couple of weeks... and hopefully get some CNA work experience. 
I'd love to hear from anyone about their application experiences with UW in the past! 
Let's chat ?

The lock symbol means they haven’t made a decision. Check mark means they have. Do some have check marks already? Mine is still a lock. 
 

I believe if you have a check mark on everything but decision made, it probably means they've made a decision and your application is no longer under review. I don’t think they put a check mark on decision made, l applied last year and mine still has a lock on decision made.

Mine has been like that since mid Feb, I thought the check mark on under review meant they are currently doing it.15th is so near yet so far?

Fingers crossed and sending good vibes to you all. Take a day to yourself to refresh your mindset. 

I did attend a info session last week and they said they take people off the waitlist up until 2 weeks prior to classes start. I also heard that waitlisted student went as far as 20 were accepted. Also, the NCLEX pass rate has dropped from 90% to 80%.
