How do you apply?

There are two admission pathways for AMATH/CFRM majors:  Currently enrolled University of Washington Seattle students and Direct-to-Major entering transfer students.

In order to apply, please address the five (5) topics presented in the Personal Statement Template and upload your responses in PDF form. All topics are optional but encouraged. Your responses must be formatted in sections with headings. The response under each heading should be no more than 250 words or 2 pages total.
Additionally, current UW students will need to submit an unofficial UW transcript, and entering transfer students will submit unofficial transcripts from their college/university.

1) Currently Enrolled UW Seattle Students:
Submit your ONLINE APPLICATION during one of the following admission windows.  Make sure you are logged into your UW Gmail account in another incognito window before clicking the link for the form (Chrome works best).

Admissions decisions will be communicated via email. If admitted, follow the next steps listed in the email. If admitted and you do not accept the offer by the deadline stated in the email, you will not be admitted to the major and will need to reapply in a future admission cycle.  

2) Entering Transfer Students:  
Direct-to-major transfer applicants must submit a separate DEPARTMENTAL APPLICATION for the same quarter for which they submit an application to UW Seattle. For more information about the University of Washington Transfer Application, visit https://admit.washington.edu/apply/.
- Transfer students need to have applied to UW for the Autumn quarter of entry before applying to the AMATH/CFRM major. Be sure to list AMATH, AMATH-DS, CFRM, or CFRM-DS as your first or second choice major. Include relevant information from your UW application in your departmental application. We do not have access to your UW application when reviewing your submission for the major.
- After applying to UW and receiving your application acknowledgement letter from the Admissions Office, set up your NetID. This process can take several days. You will use this NetID to log in to the AMATH/CFRM application.
- What if required prerequisite courses needed to apply to the AMATH/CFRM major are not completed before the Transfer Application deadline, but in-progress or projected for a future quarter?  Apply as a Transfer Applicant to UW Seattle for the quarter you would like to begin your enrollment. If admitted to UW as a declared major in another program or as a pre-major, plan to take applicable prerequisite courses at UW and once minimum requirements have been met, apply during the next AMATH/CFRM application cycle. Because these are highly competitive majors, pre-major students should be prepared to apply to their backup major as a parallel plan.
