Get Ready for the November 15th Application Deadline!

We’re excited to offer application workshops for high school seniors (Class of 2025) in Washington who are applying to the University of Washington as freshmen. While these workshops are designed to support underrepresented students—including American Indian/Alaska Native, Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Southeast Asian, foster care, undocumented, and low-income, first generation students—we welcome all high school seniors, regardless of their background.

Led by admissions counselors and UW students, these workshops will help you with the Common App and offer guidance on crafting strong responses to UW’s writing prompts. Bring your questions and drafts! Our team will be available to review personal statements and short responses. You can attend the entire workshop or come and go as needed.

Please note: Due to limited capacity, we ask that you register for only one workshop session. Each session will cover the same material, so choose the date that best fits your schedule.
