This is a story that many people can relate to. Some become scornful and turn away, like your family. Others attend community college or other four year universities, get their grades up, and then transfer to Washington their sophomore or junior year. Did you know that well over 50% of all UW undergraduate degree earners in 2018 came in as transfers?USMChawk said:
My wife and I are both alums and brought up both daughters to be Husky fanatics. My older daughter was rejected by the UW outright, she wasn’t even waitlisted. She had the academic numbers so it had to be she was the wrong demographic or her designated major was extremely competitive. So she took a full ride offer from another university. Because of that, my youngest daughter didn’t even bother to apply to UW. Not because she wouldn’t have been accepted (her numbers were better) but out of spite. TBH, I feel a bit spiteful as well and now make all my donations to their school, not UW. It doesn’t take much to sour an entire family on a business, school, product, etc.Doogles said:

If his step brother wasn't an athlete, it's hard to see how he could feel slighted by UW outside of weather and attending while Ty was Coach. At least enough to not pull for the home team.
I am a millennial who got rejected by UW out of HS despite good numbers. Devastating. Sad for weeks. Dream school. Then a resolve hit me like a storm. I attended a distant private school in California with a full scholarship. After my freshman year I had a 3.9 and applied to transfer to UW for my sophomore year and got in.
Taking your ball and going home because of HS rejection was a mistake imo. -
recent grad at UW. Got rejected by multiple majors despite a pretty good (albeit not outstanding) cumulative GPA. had to go for my third choice and took a 5th year, making the most of it but I'm not going to say my experience was ideal.
Not an uncommon experience either, I get why UW turns some people off. -
Can confirm, got my AA before transferring in, making note that I was a legacy entry probably didn't hurt either... Insert white privilege quipGladstone said:

I wish pete would accept kids from the transfer portal

Transferring in is the way to go if you don't get in out of high school. Went to a university out of state first two years where I got a 3.8, and then attended TCC for two classes during the summer for good measure before transferring in to UW. You game the system by attending community college in state (at least in my case) because admissions is required to give priority to in state community college transfers.

Holy shit, I did the same dumbfuck thing.theknowledge said:It's so much tougher today than in my day. I was accepted into UW and said NO!!! I want to stay north and fuck my girlfriend from Stanwood! FML I deserve to work at a grocery store forever for some of the dumb decisions I've made. @Swaye put me out of my misery.

Softy bcc plug

I should have clarified. He felt slighted because of something related to Gees recruitment, don't know what exactly. Brother was just a student, me and him were in the same frat, he loved his time at UW.RealRhino said:Was he an athlete at the UW, or just a regular student? How in the hell would any regular student feel slighted by the UW? That makes no sense. Long lines at the registrars office? Didn’t like the library hours?

I just know his brother has a hugeeeee influence on Gee, looked up to him a lot. Brother was a really good basketball player but didn't play in college.

I went to Western because my grades were nowhere near UW level. I got my degree and worked in that field for a few years. Now I do something else.
