Application status changed to In Review at some point this week (according to LawHub) - but I never received a status checker email from UW to setup my account to see my status? Anyone have any recommendations as to what I should do?
do folks know if you also receive a rejection email if you applied to Gates? The webpage said they would get back to people today but it looks like interview weekend invites might have already been sent out based on what I've seen on reddit
12:51
I am wondering the same thing
12:54
wait what post are you looking at bc I'm only seeing the one from 2022

They might be looking at the undergrad version of the Gates Scholarship.
no! someone posted a poll in the reddit saying they were interviewing next week
also folks are saying they got emails inviting them to interview last week in the UW admitted students discord
14:27
ooo rip
14:27
can you share the admitted students discord btw
