How does IAS make admission decisions?
In addition to specific admission requirements, the IAS Undergraduate Admission Committee looks for coursework relevant to the IAS curriculum (see http://www.washington.edu/students/crscatb/ and review course descriptions under the BIS, BISAMS, BISCP, BISCLA, BISGST, BISIA, BISMCS, BISSTS, BISSEB and BES prefixes), and a well-written goal statement that addresses: • The reason(s) why the applicant wants to complete the particular major to which they are applying • Long-term goals and aspirations • Evidence that the applicant is a good fit for IAS and their chosen major • Any special circumstances Grades are considered, with more weight given to grades in relevant coursework and grades in later coursework.
