Stats: no publications or extracurriculars/1 semester of research experience (senior year). Did undergrad at Stony Brook (CIV major).

Sent an email, as other poster mentioned over 1000 applicants to psychology department. Undergrad, no masters

Have been told that offers have been made.

Sent it via email. Said they had over 1k applications in the psy program. At least sent it via email rather than forcing me to log in portal

No GRE. Applied and accepted into PMP.

Email received at 8:30 in the morning. GPA does not reflect my complicated transcript and winding path to the program. Two years of entry level experience in human services after a career change. Grad Cafe is a one dimensional view of our stories, don't let it psych you out. Go for it :)

Curious to hear what you guys think of UW CS compared to Berkeley / MIT etc? I'm aware of the bias in faculty hiring, but I also feel UW is one of the fastest growing CS departments in the world right now, and I expect it to be considered among these top schools in overall prestige.
