Wait List Acceptance Rate

The University of Washington's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 22.5%, with 415 out of 1,845 wait-listed applicants gaining admission. This marks a significant increase compared to previous years, such as a mere 6.8% acceptance rate for the application year 2020 when 127 out of 1,870 were accepted. The historical data shows a stark contrast, as in 2021, 631 students were offered a place on the wait list, though no admissions occurred that year. Overall, the current acceptance rate reflects a notable uptick in the likelihood of admittance for wait-listed candidates at the university.
