Freshman application period for Fall 2016 opens today

While the rest of campus celebrates the beginning of autumn quarter and welcomes a record freshman class, the Office of Admissions is already focused on recruiting and admitting the class of 2016.

The freshman application for Fall 2016 opens today, and the deadline is Dec. 1. Applicants will be notified March 15 through 31, 2016.

On Nov. 3, the Office of Admissions hosts Husky Hopefuls, an evening devoted to college admission and financial aid. This event is offered only to members of the UW community and their high-school-age children. Look for invitations in your inbox in mid-October.

Preliminary numbers for this fall’s incoming freshman class at the UW show there were more than 36,000 applications for a freshmen class of about 6,800. Official numbers will be released later this month.
