How do you apply?

In order to apply, you will need to prepare a brief personal statement.  (Suggested 2,000 character limit.) This statement can be used to express your educational and/or career goals, how you expect to further them by studying in the AMath/CFRM major, and to address any concerns about your record. The AMath Department actively seeks and welcomes students with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. You may also describe how your personal history (family, educational, cultural, and economic background) has influenced your intellectual development, interests, career plans, and goals. This can include relevant experiences outside the classroom or memorable classroom experiences. Additionally, you will need to submit an unofficial UW transcript.

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

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 same quarter of entry before applying to the AMath/CFRM major.
