Pretty dam good, 1 for 1, congrats, indulge in some Sapporo or whatever your poison is over there!!

Congrats dude!

Amazing!!!!

I read your post about your GMAT effort. It was truly inspirational
Your success on the admission is equally awesome.

Great to see this pay off, HUGE congratulations man!

GMATT73 - after a long and hard fight - congratulations! I still remember your "i'm really depressed" posting :) and look how far you came!

Enjoy your admit, and we hope to keep hearing from you!

Congratulations.... :D ... U diserve it :D

PS: I hope to be in the club of 1 school / 1 admit soon .... let see... another member is necromonger

Great news Matt!!! UW was always on my "wish" list... It's a great program and with your snowboarding interests you will enjoy the location as well!!!

CONGRATS!

PS I wondered whatever happened with last night in SF, but celebrated with my friends there anyways!!! However, I am sure we'll meet in Seattle now

Hey, Matt! I am happy about your admit. Congrats!!!

Matt,

extreme congrats! the sniper approach paid off!

Cheers. L.

Back at you jaynayak, give em hell at UNC buddy!

The last I recall, you are in at INSEAD right dahiya? All the best to you and your family. Let's hope you can continue to study while your son sleeps

I really apologize about that U2Lovergirl (and Pelihu also) . After interviewing, I flew to SLC to visit BYU and received an admissions notification from UW three days later. I then proceeded to check out a couple schools in Illinois and ultimately decided to cancel the SF tour because I was convinced that Seattle is the best place for me to study, work, and eventually raise a family.

You are right, there are numerous places to explore all over the Northwest, including Vancouver BC to the north and Oregon to the south. The Cascades offer descent snow for us fellow boarders/skiers. The summers aren't too hot either.

Another major factor in the decision process is the asian influence in Washington. One in three students at UW are from either China, Japan, or Korea. One in four residents in the Puget Sound area are also asian or of asian descent, which will definately ease my wife's transition and (hopefully) aid in my post MBA job search.

Good luck with your GMAT studies and MBA aspirations. Also, remember that it is your "fit" with the school that is the most important factor that adcoms use to base their decisions.

One final point. I don't know if it was by pure coincidence, but exactly 24 hours after sending a follow up thank you letter to the interviewer, I was accepted. Be sure to employ this tactic when you visit and interview at the school of your choice.

Thanx johnny. Sapporo isn't a bad brew but nothing holds a candle to Yebisu. Try asking for a bottle of that the next time you go into a really nice sushi bar. Otherwise, we put back a few glasses of "shochu," a form of liquer distilled from sweet potatoes, wheat, or brown sugar. It's pretty strong stuff.

What's your status? Any news yet?

After over 5K posts, how can one simply forget a forum like this? Like yourself, I'm a GMATClubber for life.

With your top b-school admit, you should definately stick around as an ambassador.

Congrats Matt!! Truly well deserved. You are very hardworking and you have a dogged determination to reach your goals.

Congrats MATT! Job well-done.

I'm accepted at UW too, but I'm not sure where I'll be going yet. UW has a lot of good things going for it. It has great placement stats since it's the only decent b-school in the region. Seattle is an awesome city. And the students I've met have been pretty bright and friendly.

I wish the school was bigger (more electives, more contacts) and had more well-developed finance program. And the building is pretty shabby, but I guess I can get over that.

Good luck--maybe I'll see you in the fall. Are you going to the admit weekend in a month?
