Hi Huskies,
Students asked us to share these videos about the grad admissions process, and I thought that UW undergrads considering grad school might benefit from the videos too. Everyone benefits when students write better admissions essays. I understand that conquer.cra.org will be circulating the videos too.
Writing More Effective Graduate School Applications
http://tinyurl.com/gradcs/
We recently published videos of student and faculty panels discussing how to write effective graduate school applications. It’s based on a workshop and writing clinic I held back in November at MIT and elsewhere after being frustrated that I could find no other faculty doing it. Enjoy!
Cheers,
-Kevin

Fellowships available for CSE students:
Students who will receive a bachelor’s degree by June 2015 will be eligible for the positions. The fellowships will commence in July 2015, and they are 2 years in duration. The fellowships were previously sponsored by the Yale Child Study Center, and students can find further details at: cohenfellowship.org and simonsfellowship.org.
The training experience for the Cohen Fellowship in Developmental Social Neuroscience will primarily involve daily activities related to eye-tracking research, including operation of experimental equipment and paradigms, contact with infants and toddlers and their families, and responsibility for completing experimental protocols.
The training experience for the Simons Fellowship in Computational Neuroscience will involve developing methods for the analysis of visual scanning and eye-tracking data, computational models of visual salience, and data visualization techniques, all with the aim of advancing the understanding of autism and efforts at early diagnosis.
The training experience for the Simons Fellowship in Design Engineering will involve developing innovative design solutions to answer experimental research questions. These solutions offer an opportunity to explore human factors engineering, product prototyping, and the design of environments for neuroscience research.

We’ve decided to go ahead and open the BS/MS application (officially). It’s been open for a week or two as we tested and some of you found it, which is fine, but now it’s really open.
A few notes:
*You may not find a person you want to use as a reference in the drop down menu. If that is the case, it may be that
- They are a graduate student. In that case, they can email me feedback to include in additional information, but they should not be used as one of your 3 official reference. This is a recent change, if this effects you negatively, let me know and we’ll help you brainstorm.
- They may be a guest lecturer: in that case, if we still have contact with them, we will try to include them, but it will likely be the same situation as #1.
- Affiliate faculty: they may not be in our system yet, let me know and I’ll have it updated.
The application is linked from the BS/MS application page: https://www.cs.washington.edu/prospective_students/bsms/application_information/
Here are the tentative (subject to change) deadlines.
Application deadline: June 16th (this one will not change, the others might a little)
Faculty feedback period: June 17-25th
Read apps: June 27th – July 2nd
Admissions meeting: July 3rd
