Anyone else out there? This offer is so weird.

Ignore Waitlisted. From past years experience, UW sends out offers all at once and reject gradually... no waitlists

Ignore the waitlist. Did anyone get admitted in the HCI or ICTD track?

Ignore the interview. Does anyone get offer from system track?

I haven't yet got the official letter from the graduate division, but I just saw that my application status was updated from "under committee review" to "admitted - congratulations!" on a portal. I had a simple chat with POI in the first week of December and submitted my application in the middle of December. It took about 7 weeks for the review. I am very delighted to be accepted to this program because I am really interested in studies and projects conducted by my POI.
