Admission to the MPAcc - Auditing & Assurance Program is for fall quarter only. Each fall quarter, the UW Business School registers approximately 45 new students in the Program. The School selects men and women who we believe have the highest potential for achievement in the accounting profession. We select prospective students on the basis of their academic achievements, their ability to communicate effectively, and their record of personal accomplishments. Prospective students must have well-developed language and reasoning skills. During our evaluation process, we examine applicants to determine their facility in reading, writing, and speaking English, and the ability to reason analytically, logically, and creatively. Admission is based on a number of criteria including:
Satisfactory completion of prerequisite courses (see Prerequisites - applicants must have completed at least 4 of the accounting concentration courses listed under Prerequisites).
- Scores from the GMAT exam
- International TOEFL scores
- Well written essays
- Work experience
- Volunteer and student activities
Selection criteria
We evaluate each applicant in terms of:
- Past academic performance. We review each prospective student's undergraduate history, taking note of the difficulty of the curriculum and the scholastic quality of the school attended. We also consider the applicant's post baccalaureate academic experience.
- General intellectual ability. We evaluate each individual's performance on the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT), which provides a measure of the applicant's general verbal and quantitative abilities. These attributes, which develop over a long period of time, are related to success in graduate management curricula.
- Managerial potential. We assess each prospective student's level of managerial responsibility by examining his or her accomplishments in school, community activities and work experience.
- Ability to communicate clearly, succinctly, and persuasively. The required essays demonstrate each applicant's level of writing competence, as well as his or her ability to think through issues.
In selecting the entering class, the School also strives to create an environment that fosters a rich and satisfying learning experience and is representative of society as a whole. We believe that a diverse student body helps create such an environment.

Financial Aid
Students in need of financial assistance may receive aid from the University of Washington, the Business School, or both. Aid is available in the form of non-state sponsored aid: loans, fellowships and scholarships are available for domestic students. Very limited funding is available for international students. Domestic financial aid candidates must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which can be obtained from the UW Office of Student Financial Aid or most other college aid offices. The FAFSA is available from the Office of Student Financial Aid beginning in December or early January each year. Applicants can request a complete financial aid packet, which includes all necessary forms and instructions for UW applicants, by writing to: Financial Aid Office
105 Schmitz Hall, Box 355880

or by calling (206) 543-6101 To be considered eligible for financial aid, the prospective student must mail the FAFSA form directly to the Iowa City, Iowa office before February 28, for the coming fall. The Business School grants financial aid primarily on the basis of need for assistance, as determined from information on the FAFSA application. The School notifies entering students of financial awards in late May; the University sends notice of awards during the summer. Applicants who have not submitted all necessary financial aid documents or who file their applications after the February 28 deadline may not receive notification of an award before the MPAcc Program's enrollment service fee is due on June 1.
