Ask And 'Ye Shall Receive

From the Facebook image comments:

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We believe the source of the error was new address verification software used by our online application vendor. It seems to be an address field dropdown menu where the error is showing. We have not been able to see it in our residency fields. Only the student address field. We have contacted the vendor and asked them to fix the error immediately.

We are very sorry that this happened. Again, than you for bringing it to our attention.

As well as this one, noting that the applications are closed, and thus the "fix" wasn't actually implemented, but should be there next year. Hopefully they actually come through and fix it for the next application period. Keep us posted if it doesn't!

We recently learned that there was an error on the University of Washington undergraduate online application form. The error was in an address field where it listed Taiwan as "Taiwan, Province of China".... See More

We believe the source of the error was the new address verification software used by our online application vendor. Our online applications are now closed because our deadlines have passed. We will have the company correct the error so it will be listed as "Taiwan" on future applications.

We are very sorry that this occurred, and we appreciate that it was brought to our attention.

Thank you,

Paul

I never actually got a response to my own letter - but I was late in sending it, as I was typing out my 700 word letter on why it should be Taiwan and not Taiwan, province of China.

Reminder: 2/28 Event at Kane Hall next Sunday! (See a couple posts down for more information)
