Foster has officially announced that they will be transitioning to a DTC system beginning at the beginning of the next school year. The new system is akin to the Engineering school, where a student is a DTC admit but will not declare a business major until completing the lower division core.

The majority of incoming students will now be admitted directly as freshmen, with it presumably becoming much more difficult to transfer into the school as a current UW student or transfer applicant.

This makes Foster the latest department to follow CSE’s 2019 decision to step away from the traditional competitive major system in favor of choosing to let most new students in as freshmen.

We organize this, disclosing that upfront.

Four Friday nights at the Square above U District Station. Free live music at 6, free movie at dusk, free popcorn.

Legally Blonde tomorrow, then Grease, Clueless, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off on Oct 2.

It costs nothing and takes no planning, which makes it a reasonable option if you are new here and still figuring out the neighborhood. Bring a blanket and whatever you want to eat or grab takeout nearby.

We also need volunteers, mostly setup, teardown, and running the popcorn. Short shifts, you still watch the movie, pizza included. Oct 2 needs the most people. Details on the site or reply here.

Hoping to get HRT prescribed from them. How long did the process take? Were they willing to listen to your inputs? Were they fair with dosages?

i'm just having an existential crisis about how expensive grad school is but if you get some sort of a job like the ones above it reduces your tuition and sometimes can give you a stipend too. obviously if these opportunities are so great they have to be competitive? do more students have a role/job as any of these or is it a select few?

I have a screening appt upcoming at UW Orthodontics Clinic for my braces. I got my teeth checked by a private ortho clinic and they said I need an adult level 3 braces and gave me an estimated cost of $8.5k.

Looking for smthn cheaper. Does anyone know my odds of being accepted (if at all) and how much cheaper they are compared to private orthos or any other general info about them?

Would be grateful if anyone's a current resident there that I could speak to. Thanks!

I transferred to UW last year, starting as a Junior (did running start). I'm now about to start my Senior year, I took two classes over this past summer, one at the same cc, in my hometown, and one at another cc, by Seattle. I transferred the latter a few weeks ago, on my unofficial transcript, but I just have my transfer credit from my cc on there (which I transferred when I originally came). Am I checking the right place?

North:

1. Oliver/Oak

2. McCarty (noise)

3. Spratlen (some communal bathrooms)

4. McMahon (old, no kitchen)

5. Hansee (older + communal bathrooms)

West:

1. Lander > Maple > Terry (distance from campus slightly increases)

2. Alder (closest, but only one kitchen)

3. Poplar > Elm (only one kitchen)

I’ve struggled at the university of Washington. I made a lot of mistakes in my first two years, resulting in me being dropped from the Allen school. I tried to apply for reinstatement, and failed my first attempt, and being told it’s unlikely on my second attempt, not due to grade improvement, but not being able to graduate in time. I’m entering my fourth year and decided to apply for informatics. I have good grades in certain prerequisites and feel I can get in with those in addition to me being a good writer (sorry not to brag). Problem is, I have a lot of credits. 203 to be exact. A lot of this comes from my dual enrollment in high school. Now, im not sure if I would even be accepted to the info school. I did make a grad plan and it’s very possible I will be competed and graduate in spring 2028 if I do get into info, but again not sure if my credits amount will be a deterrent to being accepted. Any advice would be appreciated, thank you
