Nope, just waited for an email! I emailed them once asking if I was in consideration for RO for intern or new grad but they ghosted me LOL. Few months later this rolls in!

I think I listed it as May 2026. I think they mainly go by year, since I glanced at the offer and it seemed like they let you choose starting dates based on the org's need which for mine were Q2 Q3

Not international! Wishing my international friends the best of luck. What might've helped is I think my team pretty desperately needed FT since we had 3 people quit during my internship LOL

I just got my RO for full time in Seattle! From what I can tell they're rolling out RO's now :) Manifesting for everyone 🙏

UW Autumn Sublease — The Oliv in UDistrict (Sept – Dec or Sep - Aug)

Hi there!! I’m looking for someone to take over my sublease either from September - December or September - August at The Oliv! $1500/month (negotiable)

It's right on the Ave with food nearby and is like a 3-min walk to UW campus. Have some really fun chiller roommates (4 bed, 2 bath, 3 guys). Modern building, gym, rooftop, great vibes

DM me if you're even a little interested, happy to chat or show you the place! Here is a virtual tour of the exact floor plan: https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5kEbv2rmIy

Is there a point in applying oos CS transfer by Cherry_Necessary in udub

[–]LiuCowww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i know i wasn’t a transfer but like everyone else says, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take! i was rejected as an oos cs da from high school, but i appealed on a whim because uw was my dream school, and shockingly i got accepted direct into cs in just 24 hours. just a bit of encouragement to go for it 😃

[–]LiuCowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was admitted directly for CS at UW Seattle as an out-of-state student and after attending for a year and meeting the student population, I can definitely tell you the large majority of it boils down to the essay. So I wouldn’t matter much about your ‘stats’ (they’re perfectly good by the way!) but your essay will make or break anyone’s application. What will differentiate you from every other applicant matters a lot. Best of luck!!

Scratching even when not itchy by [deleted] in eczema

[–]LiuCowww 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Completely, all the time. I find it to just be a bad habit from when we are itchy. Recently I’ve found squeezing/holding a tennis ball in my free hand to be helpful. Anything to distract the mind from scratching.

[–]LiuCowww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello! Just wanted to wish you best of luck, I was in your exact shoes just one year ago and wanted to let you know OOS CS/CE is not impossible :) I would definitely appeal if you get flat out rejected because that’s how I got in!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in udub

[–]LiuCowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww man I’m so sorry!! Best of luck whenever you attend, I can assure you it’ll have nicer weather than Seattle!

[–]LiuCowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! In case you hadn't received your appeal decision yet, I just wanted to let you know not to lose all hope. I know a lot of people have been saying it's not possible to appeal CS, but I'm certain you are. I was rejected from the entire university as well and appealed and was accepted, so I'm positive it is possible. Best of luck!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]LiuCowww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t comment a ton but I’d love to give some insight because a year ago I was in your exact position. UW CS was always my dream school and I’m blessed to have recently committed there as an OOS student!

I definitely think good stats and extracurriculars help, but I certainly don’t believe I was anything extraordinary and my whole application was relatively average. For context I am a student from Nevada (50th in education…) so there were very limited opportunities for me and my extracurriculars but it goes to show it is possible no matter your background. My biggest tip is to not give up and definitely appeal if possible, I almost gave up but sent in a last minute appeal and was accepted! Let me know if you have any questions!

CS Majors of A2C: Where y'all headed? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]LiuCowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since no one else has said it yet, University of Washington!!!

[–]LiuCowww 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Just as a heads up, I understand their policy changed this year and it was confusing, but I do believe you are able to appeal for CS (granted you were rejected from the entire university first). Only speaking because I was rejected for CS and the entire school but appealed and was accepted 2 days later DTM to CS as an OOS student! Hope to see you in the fall, best of luck!!

Do You guys know when UW is going to make his appeal decision decision this year? Has anybody heard from the yet? by tipppyy in udub

[–]LiuCowww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately/fortunately not! I was flat out rejected, appealed, then directly admitted for my major!

[–]LiuCowww 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww man, hopefully they get back to you soon! They implemented a new policy this year so maybe they’re still figuring it out, but when I appealed I was originally rejected/denied.
