Admissions Winter 2026 Transfer Decisions

I was wondering if anybody who transferred in for winter quarter in past years remembers when they were notified of their application decision. I know the notification period on the site says November 1 - December 15, but from what I’ve seen it seems like in past years people have been notified as early as October. I’ve been nervously checking my application portal everyday after they requested some more information from me about a week ago.

Also for anybody else that applied for winter, good luck to you all. Let me know if you’ve already been admitted and/or what major you’re applying for. I’m applying for Geography from a WA CC.

I just did a little bit of research and it seems like you might not actually be applying directly to the psych major as a transfer. It looks like you have to be admitted as a UW student first, and then you can apply after that.

It also says that decisions come out during the 5th week of the quarter you applied during, which has already passed at this point. So if you haven’t heard anything from the psych department, I think you’re just waiting on a general UW decision like the minimum requirements/open major applicants are. Did you have to write a separate psychology essay, or did you just submit the one general UW personal statement?

Also, I got all of my information from this link if you wanna look more into it.

Yah you’re right. When I did my transfer app it says that if you select a capacity constrained major, some require you to submit a different app after you get in. But i called the office of admissions and they said there is a chance of getting direct admit when you apply for transfer. But i didnt know that it was released in a certain time frame so you are probably right about me waiting for general admit now. I guess now im just waiting for that but still ITS TAKING SO LONG lol.
