Dear Colleagues,
The University of Washington (Seattle campus) is producing admission decision letters as I type and will continue to do so throughout the week. Some letters may well be in the mail starting today or tomorrow (a bit earlier than we planned). Many of your students will recieve their letters this week and early next.

As expected (thankfully), admission for resident applicants is better this year than last. We still had to make difficult decisions on the applications of some accomplished students, and I am sure some of you will be encouraging temporarily disappointed kids. However, many more students and families will be pleased compared to last year. Additionally, I think we will have more possibilities for students invited to be on the waitlist this year. In short, it is a good year for resident applicants.% ]# f: l6 X! g% Q5 K

Finally, for those in our counseling community working wit international students, this year will be more selective than last (due to a strong increase in students applying from other countries). We will have a waitlist for international students this year as well. Additionally, the international students residing outside of the U.S. will recieve notice of their admission status via email later this week or early next. - C4 u8 D$ V$ z& j/ [, z
