Was it the PhD program? I know they usually notify people who were accepted in a phone call, so this kind of mistake is less likely to happen :).

for grad school, or undergrad? Either way congrats! I've spoken with a lot of the CS students and they're super bright.

Note that "UW" is a very overloaded term:

- University of Washington

- University of Waterloo

- University of Wisconsin

- University of Wyoming

etc.

But we all know which UW is the right one :)

Can't tell if this is clever sarcasm or you mean Waterloo...

Americans will probably think of Washington first.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. No one knows what each other is talking about when saying "UW". Looking at chris_va's profile, it appears he was talking about the University of Washington. Most of the US probably thinks of UW that way, though in Silicon Valley I've met a lot more people from the University of Waterloo than from the University of Washington.
