College letters

I'm so excited, i just got my acceptance letter from University of Washington Seattle, whee! I was starting to get nervous that I wouldn't get accepted anywhere

, it's a paranoid that my friends started and spread to me. Sigh, at least I won't be so nervous when the rest of my letters come. Anyone else feel the same way about their college letters?

Congrats! My alma mater (although it has been a while since I've been there). I think the guy translating "Demon Child" is a current student...

It was a shock when I first got there - the entire enrollment of the UW was larger than the town I grew up in. It was hard to imagine a school that big! No less being in a big town for the first time

I had something to brag about when I got my letter - the honor roll students weren't accepted (they got there with A's in pottery and such) and were very upset. I guess math and science does count

Congrats!!

I acutally live about 20 min from the UW campus.
It's a great school. ( and also a LARGE school)

If you're not originally from the NW area, one word of advice, be prepared for gloomy weather..
during the winter we get lots of muggy grey skies.

oh,and i understand the pain of college letters.. I never got accepted in my senior year @ high school.. even my so called 'saftey' school XD oops. Oh well, 2 years at Comm College and 1 year of 'soul searching' later, I'm a EWU business student.

Just got to go with the cards that are dealt.

HOpe you get more good news!!!

I know about gloomy winters, I lived in PA for the longest time, talk about cold *brrr* I love Seattle though, I did a backpacking/kayaking trip through Orkila a year ago up there. I think I hit the season when there wasn't much rain though, the mountains were so pretty!

Do any of you know about the ecology or zoology departments at uw; reputations, etc?

I know the science departments are pretty good.

I think the Ecology department is rated higher than Zoology (I think) Sorry, I personally don't know anyone in those departments.. the closest is BioChem, and that's got a good rep (competative).

Did you check out the divisions webpage?
