Selection Criteria
Admission to the Undergraduate Program in the Foster School of Business is competitive. Each year, 50-60% of applicants - between 650 and 750 - are admitted.
Early Admission Group (EAG)
Admission is more competitive for this category than it is for UAGs. EAG candidates are evaluated on their overall academic record, grades in courses required before application, and written communication skills. We accept EAG applications for autumn quarter only.
Upper Division Admission Group (UAG)
For UAG applicants, index scores are created from three admissions factors, which are standardized, then assigned the following weights.
- Combined GPA (40%)
- Pre-application GPA (25%)
- Writing Skills Assessment (35%)
Beyond this index, consideration is given to such factors as cultural experiences, significantly higher recent grades, exceptional extracurricular activities or leadership experience, and the effect of personal disadvantage on earlier education. We accept UAG applications for autumn and winter quarters.
Notification of Decision
Applicants will be notified of their admission decisions by letter. We strive to notify UW native students of our decisions by the first day of junior registration for the quarter for which they are applying. Transfer students usually receive notification by the first day of Period II registration.
