Thank you for your interest in applying to UWT!
Application Timeline
Never worry about missing a deadline!*
UWT utilizes a rolling admissions system by which applicants may submit applications whenever they wish. By the same token, however, our salaried admissions staff and undergraduate work-study students review applications at their own leisure. At any rate, we strive to provide admissions decisions within one calendar year of the date of submission. If you have not received a response at that point, please contact us immediately.

Decision Process
Ever wondered what happens after you submit your UWT application? If not, you probably are now. Here's a rundown of our decision process:
- Upon being submitted, your application sits in an online queue until one of our admissions staff members is able to review it.
- A trained admissions counselor or undergraduate work-study employee does a first reading on the application to ensure that important fields such as "name" and "age" are completed, then approves it for review by the full admissions committee.
- The admissions committee spends several minutes scoring the application on an arbitrary points system, using a set of randomly-selected and rotating criteria.
- Admissions counselors then debate the merits of the applicant and vote on whether to extend an offer of admission. In the event of a tie (the admissions committee usually meets with an even number of people), two counselors (one from the "admit" side, one from the "reject" side) engage in a "best-of-3" game of Rock, Paper, Scissors (not to be confused with Duck-Duck-Goose).
- The admissions decision is communicated to the applicant.
