University of Washington (2023-2024)

[frigid schooner]

Why is the acceptance rate so insane?

Even harder than IVYs

[sharp umbra]

its a public school

public schools just favor in state

they want to keep their intellectual capital in washington and have it feed back into big tech lmao

[frigid schooner]

Seems like internationals have no chance 💀

[sharp umbra]

internationals are prioritized the lowest, but you can make the same argument with every single school in the US

[pulsar mango]

disagree. uw applicant pool isnt the same as cornell applicant pool

[sharp umbra]

not the same pool but percentage wise its harder

[pulsar mango]

uw has less competitive applications and a bigger applicant pool so the 2% isnt rly the same as cornells

[sharp umbra]

eh for comp sci id argue its not less competitive

its a t10 cs program id argue the caliber of applicants are equivalent to other t10 cs program applicants

[long badge]

than any other top school

even MIT has a higher overall admit rate

[sharp umbra]

he was mentioning cornell specifically so i mentioned cornell specifically but yes

[scarlet tinsel]

Its known that the only reason UW is ranked lower for CS is class size, the smell of some freshmen who don’t shower, and the brain cells that explode from being overworked 💪💪💪

But beyond that many people consider it better than Stanford and Cornell and on par with CMU

The CS profs are all top notch

And the career center is always popping 🍿🍿

[pallid tree]

Surely the class size can't be worse than Berkeley

[scarlet tinsel]

I mean class sizes of 700 are fairly big I’d say

¯_(ツ)_/¯

(For the intro classes)

Upper levels are usually a lot smaller

[pallid tree]

Fair. ~~berekely is kinda known currently for having class sizes larger than their largest hall ~~

[sharp umbra]

lol

uw is my only shot at like a t20 school for comp sci

im gonna go monk mode on the essays

[sharp umbra]

yea i mean its the best cs program in wa where all the big tech is

[pulsar mango]

tip for u little junior kiddo (jk), focus on impact and the why ur doing what ur doing

[limpid pulsar]

dawg

uw is like one of the hardest to get into

oos cs acceptance rate is lower than mit

[sharp umbra]

im not oos

[final wasp]

I emailed about the portal and they gave the most confusing answer wtf

[severe ingot]

what did they say

[final wasp]

just like check your email in the next few months thank you for applying

i think they just randomly chose a prewritten email to send

bc i asked a very specific question...

[final wasp]

yeah same

Also this

Bro why do you send everyone an individual net ID just for admissions if your system can’t handle it 💀

[minor holly]

they actually sent me another saying they’re honored i applied and to wait for more contact 🤡

[pulsar mango]

fuck uw

[sharp umbra]

you'll get in somewhere better its not that deep lol

[rough vortex]

come over, I’m sure we can find a shed or something to fit all the CS a2cers 😂

[kind citrus]

SHED

[pulsar mango]

still no uw portal

[rough vortex]

Only the best form of housing in this state

[minor holly]

is it alright if i email them with a mistake i found on my activities list just now, or will that end up hurting me?

[wet glacier]

How big of a mistake is it? If it’s a minor typo then it won’t affect your application

[minor holly]

i accidentally checked 10,11,12 for an activity instead of 11,12 and it gives me +20 hours of volunteering as a result

60 -> 80

[wet glacier]

Honestly that’s not enough of a difference to get you accepted or rejected

It’s not too big of a deal but emailing them might help your conscious yk

[minor holly]

yeah i feel kind of guilty. i was going to just do 20 extra hours so it ends up being accurate…

my counselor said i didn’t need to send an email either but i’m not sure

[wet glacier]

It it’s weighing on you then I’d send an email

If you do get in and end up attending then that seed of imposter syndrome might suck

[minor holly]

would there be a disadvantage to letting them know? like would they think i’m careless or something

[wet glacier]

Idts

[boreal elk]

lowkey i wouldnt but up to you

they might not even remember it when they get to ur app or even note it down, but i do agree if its weighing you down, then do it

[scarlet tinsel]

☔

UW just won the last PAC-12 championship

[long badge]

ggs

[ancient quartz]

any1 know when uw comes out?

[lean niche]

March 1-15

Supposedly in waves

But they usually mostly release on one day

[ancient quartz]

oksy thx

[vale pewter]

can someone send me the portal link?

[short forge]

https://identity.uw.edu/profile/

[vale pewter]

ty!

[vale pewter]

wait i thought portals would have like application checklists and stuff?

[short forge]

uhhh i think they said it would some time to set up application status

im not sure

[vale pewter]

ok thanks for letting me know

for you does it just show the profile part too?

[short forge]

yeah

@vale pewter sorry I sent the wrong link 😅 . Here's the applications status: https://my.uw.edu/

[river burrow]

its literally just a plain html page for uw i think

[sharp umbra]

many of their pages are plain html

i believe one of their payment windows is just pure html

and its hella ugly too

[rough vortex]

I believe that might be due to accessibility reasons iirc?

[boreal elk]

maybe but every other school doenst just use plain html

[sharp umbra]

lmao with the amount of faang swe’s they produce surely one fixes their website

[long badge]

they feed to microsoft

[sharp umbra]

i’m curious as to whether it’s directly feeding or u still have to grind it’s just easier

[long badge]

prolly the latter

but given that microsoft is near seattle they prolly have a HUGE presence in dub

[sharp umbra]

true

there are big meta and google branches here too

[river burrow]

university of washington

[sharp umbra]

university of washingtono

[scarlet tinsel]

hence why only 13% of students/faculty have notifications on lol

[scarlet tinsel]

correcto! same with accenture, deloitte, ey, baine & co, google, apple, tesla, amazon, etc etc list goes on and on

[sharp umbra]

how many kids do u guesstimate graduate from allen school jobless lol

[scarlet tinsel]

not many, most have stacked internships lol

[sharp umbra]

me asf!!!!!!!!!

[scarlet tinsel]

the culture here is competitive in a lot of majors, especially any that are capacity-constrained.

[sharp umbra]

lmfao i wonder how bad neuro is

[scarlet tinsel]

idk about that one ¯_(ツ)_/¯

i have no idea what goes into any of the science majors

[sharp umbra]

afaik

neuro is 60 seats capped

[vale pewter]

lol ok thanks

[dire sorrel]

when does it come out

hi

[scarlet tinsel]

March 1-15. It came out on March 9 or 12 for me, I can't remember which. I think the 9th for some students and 12th for others

[sharp umbra]

thats stupid

[scarlet tinsel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[long badge]

me waiting four months just to get the inevitable rejected from CE

[sharp umbra]

does comp engineering fall under the allen school or the engineering school

[long badge]

allen

ECE is engineering

[sharp umbra]

oh ur fucked if ur old

oos

[long badge]

yeah ik

CE is eng in allen, CS is liberal arts in allen

regardless i have no plans to go here

[sharp umbra]

why lol

[long badge]

hardest school by admit rate

[sharp umbra]

i mean it’s a good school

[long badge]

and expensive compared to my state school (which is also up there prestige wise)

[sharp umbra]

ig

if u wanna work big tech it’s one of the best schools

w the connections

[long badge]

yeah ms goes hard there

[sharp umbra]

i mean not only ms

google, meta

if u grind you'll probably secure some type of good job

[long badge]

yeah true

still i prolly wont get in

[sharp umbra]

lol

#metoo

[lament field]

I never realized that oos was that dire, whoever makes it here is actually thanos

but ngl from having taken 123 and 369, idk if this is just college culture but like the lecture halls are half empty and those that never attended show up on finals day with their entire 1-pager filled to the gills and end up with a sub-par grade... It's not really a education resource/professor thing but more of a student thing

I don't see how this general behavior reflects a t10/t5 CS uni, but I prob have bias as a washingtonian

[sharp umbra]

yea

no clue how this school is t5

its prbably due to how its a feeder to top tech and apparently has good research opportunities

[sharp umbra]

ngl if u make it here oos ur probably just gonna turn it down for mit/caltech

[minor holly]

anyone else still not gotten portal?

[final wasp]

yeah

I emailed about it and they were just like check ur email for the next few months

Like okay…

[sharp umbra]

don't think so

[scarlet tinsel]

no

[warped dagger]

@viscid adder

[viscid adder]

ty

[vagrant flint]

just wondering, did anyone else who did uw in the hs courses have trouble getting their application linked with their existing uw netid?

cuz all my friends had a variety of issues but i didn't

just took them forever to actually see it

[final wasp]

i did but i havent gotten the portal email yet 💀

[vagrant flint]

what 💀💀

that's rly weird

all i got was an email saying they received my application and then i checked my netid and it was linked automatically

[final wasp]

i guess mine didnt automatically link? i emailed about it and they said to wait for the portal email and then link it

[minor holly]

did the exact same thing, got the same response

[vivid cobalt]

transfer apps come out Friday

[keen vapor]

I thought this meant the overall in state acceptance rate and got so confused cause I thought it was like 50%

[scarlet tinsel]

It's higher than 21%, but each school really varies. For instance, there's a difference between getting into the univ as a whole and getting into a school through the Freshman Direct Applicant program.

Of all 55,000 applicants who applied to the UW, I think the numbers were: 12,000 were accepted, several thousand were waitlisted, and 9,000+ are attending.

The class of 2027 is the biggest class that the University has ever had.

[sharp umbra]

yea

business cs and i think neurosci are all competitive

others less so

[scarlet tinsel]

There are quite a few capacity constrained majors. Business, CS, Pre-Med are well known ones.

Others, such as Informatics, Psych, applied math, and others are also capacity constrained but the less popular ones

[sharp umbra]

i thought udub doesn’t have a premed track?

[runic crater]

rejected penn and UW is tied with brown for my second choice

when do decisions come out like march?

[viscid adder]

whats the acceptance rate for cs?

[sharp umbra]

20% instate

2% out of state

[viscid adder]

2% is crazy😭😭

[sharp umbra]

i mean theyre gatekeeping the intellect for big tech in wa

kind of makes sense

[viscid adder]

they needa gatekeep me fr

[sharp umbra]

are u in sate

[viscid adder]

nah

from maryland

[scarlet tinsel]

lol i thought they had one since so many kids just say they're "pre-med" lol

[scarlet tinsel]

March 1-15

[sharp umbra]

yea theres no pre med track

u just end up taking some jackshit and then applying for med school

[scarlet tinsel]

Welp I wonder why so many people say they're "pre-med" at UW

it's a real thing here

[sharp umbra]

probably because they intend to major at med school

theyre just probably in a bio or chem major

[scarlet tinsel]

I think it's probably because they're just doing all the prereqs to get into a science major

[runic crater]

engineering is like 40% oos right

[scarlet tinsel]

you wish.

[runic crater]

fuck really

[sharp umbra]

no

i think hes right

[runic crater]

never trusting that page

[sharp umbra]

it was 45% composite

hes probably right

[scarlet tinsel]

Ahh, yes. Direct to college, at those numbers. Direct to major, you're looking at 10% and less

[sharp umbra]

whats the diff again

[scarlet tinsel]

You're in the college, great! Still gotta apply into your major.

[sharp umbra]

LMFAO THIS IS SO SCUFFED

[scarlet tinsel]

Yeah so Direct to College is really high, but direct to major (which is the important one) is much lower

[runic crater]

oh i didnt know they did direct to major for engineering

[sharp umbra]

they dont

[scarlet tinsel]

Yes they do direct to major for lots of things. It's a confusing, obscure, awful admissions process.

[runic crater]

fsr i thought it was either premajor or direct to college

[viscid adder]

2%😭😭😭😭

im done for

[sharp umbra]

oh yeah i remember my cousin telling me about that

[scarlet tinsel]

They do brother.

[sharp umbra]

oh

i ematn they do

sorry im mixing it up

yea i remember someone telling me "im not going to udub cuz theres no guarantee i get in for mech e" now that i think abt it

[viscid adder]

does autumn admissions have higher acceptance rate?

[scarlet tinsel]

LOL I actually attend this school. I don't know anything that has to do with humanities or science, but everything else STEM I'm very familiar with

[scarlet tinsel]

wdym

[sharp umbra]

yea

im mixing it up

lol

[viscid adder]

isnt there an autumn term you couldve selected for admissinos?

or summer sorry

like you can apply for admissions for summer 24'

[sharp umbra]

its probably the same bro

[scarlet tinsel]

So for high school admissions into the UW there's only one application date, which is the Nov 15 deadline.

[sharp umbra]

also why would you want to start during summer

😭

[sharp umbra]

maybe like a gap semester? idk

[viscid adder]

dont care when i start long as im in the school

[sharp umbra]

its gonna be the same difficulty

[viscid adder]

is transfer app easier than undergrad?

[scarlet tinsel]

For college students/transfers, each school offers different terms that you can apply for admission. Most are twice a year, fall/winter and spring/fall (apply fall and get in winter, apply spring and get in fall)

[scarlet tinsel]

Generally, depending on the transfer.

Although getting in DTM I'm not too sure about

i think it's a higher chance to just get accepted into the school but not the major

[viscid adder]

im gonna graduate with my associates this spring so i could take a gap semester and apply as a transfer for spring '24

[sharp umbra]

for cs, it looks like no

but idk if u intend to major in cs

[viscid adder]

20%>2%

[scarlet tinsel]

i just came across a reddit post of a transfer student who is screwed because they didn't get into their major when they applied but they got into the school, and they don't know what to do now

[viscid adder]

i do

[scarlet tinsel]

Smart way to go

[sharp umbra]

sorry bro

😭

[viscid adder]

bro😭😭😭

i needa move to washington

[sharp umbra]

are you like

hellbent on going here

for any particular reason

LOL

[scarlet tinsel]

ngl with all the protests UW isn't super bright rn

[viscid adder]

i really like seattle

[sharp umbra]

LMFAO YOU REALLY GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK

[viscid adder]

ive a friend there too

[sharp umbra]

THATS SO TRAGIC WTF

[viscid adder]

bro its better to be international than oos?😭

[scarlet tinsel]

admissions is one thing... but finaid is another big thing 😂

no finaid for y'all intl students

💀

[viscid adder]

intl must suck

its so difficult for everything

[runic crater]

why can i not find any info about engineering direct to major on their page

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah it's really hard

[scarlet tinsel]

because they're a secretive school lol

and each major is different

[runic crater]

wtf man

[scarlet tinsel]

I know a grand total of one student who got direct into civil engineering major, and countless students who want to go into civil but are currently just in the engineering school

which i suppose is still better than being outside of the engineering school but still

[sharp umbra]

ive heard engineering is a lil dicey cuz of that

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah you're never guaranteed admissions to your first choice

[sharp umbra]

thats stupid.

[scarlet tinsel]

funny enough that one student isn't even attending UW 😂

[sharp umbra]

but then agian college admisisons

is stupid

[scarlet tinsel]

they're attending CalPoly

[sharp umbra]

damn bruh.

[scarlet tinsel]

still a good institution so good for them

but bruh

turning down UW engineering is crazyyy

[sharp umbra]

i met a dude from calpoly on valorant yesterday

was p fire

[scarlet tinsel]

lol

i'm not excited for next quarter ngl... taking 3 weedouts 😂

[runic crater]

slo is good but i would not choose it over uw

[scarlet tinsel]

and from that, one of my classes is 8:30am and one is 3:30-6pm lol

[sharp umbra]

which ones

[scarlet tinsel]

ACCTG 215 (intro accounting), MGMT 200 (law), CSE 123 (java) --> the two hardest business prereqs plus a lovely coding classs

i like coding as a hobby but not as a class

for some students yes, others nah

It's tough to get a 4.0 though, you gotta be top 5% of the class

That's most weedout classes here, you gotta be top 5% to get a 4.0

all of my classes i'm above 90%, and should secure two 4.0s and one 3.8

[sharp umbra]

cse 12x grading scale is so aids

you cant get more than a guaranteed 3.5

ive heard u can get one S to get guaranteed a 4.0 in the entire class

[scarlet tinsel]

Informatics

[runic crater]

how hard is it to get into aerospace/mechE after DTC

im gonna assume very

[scarlet tinsel]

and that's assuming you do well on all of the exams lol

[runic crater]

but like what kind of grades and stuff do you need to get

[scarlet tinsel]

That one I've heard quite a few students have gotten into the college but not into the major lol

[sharp umbra]

the quizzes were all online and remote when i took them

aka it wasnt very hard

[scarlet tinsel]

Of course I talk to a lot of smart students tho so I may be looking at only a particular population that did in fact get in

[sharp umbra]

the final exam i did well but i didnt ace because i speedran it and made braindead mistakes

i thin i got like 4 e's 2 s's

[scarlet tinsel]

i don't think they're too bad as long as you practice

[sharp umbra]

one of the s i read too fast the other one i forgot to use a variable that i assigned to the size of a stack

i used s.size() which doesnt work bc the size changes

basically 2 lines if i changed i would have gotten full points

🗿

[scarlet tinsel]

Proud to be a part of the one major that limits the number of times you can apply 😂

[sharp umbra]

i might dual major in informatics

for funzies

if thats an option

[scarlet tinsel]

CS + Info generally isn't what many students do

fyi

Most like to pair CS with something else (applied math, hcde, business, etc)

Because info and cs share a lot of classes

good luck with uw math classes 🙏

they're evil

[sharp umbra]

would i have to get into both foster and allen for cs + business

if so hell nah

[scarlet tinsel]

Yes.

[sharp umbra]

yea nah i cant deal w allat

[scarlet tinsel]

Double degree, and for Foster you need 60 college graded credits (aka no AP lol)

And you need to graduate with at least 225

Which means 5 years 😂

Unless you have a ton of college credit

usually

[sharp umbra]

ngl

if i did 5 years id graduate at like 22

[scarlet tinsel]

I have 50 college credits from AP so an advisor said i should be able to do everything i need to do in four years

[sharp umbra]

which i think is normal for college

cuz ur a geek

ill grad at 21

[scarlet tinsel]

"normal" is the most subjective word ever. there are 40-60 year olds here earning their first bachelor's degree

perhaps say "traditional" instead here :-)

[sharp umbra]

sure

traditional

[scarlet tinsel]

Even though I'm taking the traditional route, I personally took offense to "normal" for everyone who doesn't complete their degrees at 22. Not everyone is privileged or financially able enough to complete within such a tight window

[sharp umbra]

u bum

[sharp umbra]

i was more reffering to a 4 year degree and starting at 18

but yea i get what you mean

[scarlet tinsel]

It's fine

[sharp umbra]

anyways

i have realized i hate math

i am still going to do cs

:3

man math is so boring

legit now ive realized why i fall asleep in all my math classes

its just so brain numbing

informatics!

[scarlet tinsel]

in uw you wont be bored with double integrals that take up an entire page of math 😂

[sharp umbra]

BRO

brodie is 16 and already 0/1 at colleges

TRAGIC

[scarlet tinsel]

my roommate was a valedictorian at a school and got a 47% on his first exam, that humbled him

[sharp umbra]

lmfao i know im not anywhere near valedict

[scarlet tinsel]

(avg was a 55 so he wasn't far behind)

[sharp umbra]

u go to a school in the middle of nowhere

my district is full of sweaty kisd

bro like what

[scarlet tinsel]

MATH 126

[sharp umbra]

what is that

in terms of like

common math course terminology

is it like calc

oh mv calc

🗿

yea

i know kids that are doing that

this summer

for fun

u

are a masochist

[scarlet tinsel]

i'm proud to announce i will never take a chem, math, or bio course at uw

😂

[sharp umbra]

im p sure ap chem gives u a stupid amount of chem credits

ill just get a 5 and then easy

[scarlet tinsel]

it does if you do well

english credits don't count

[sharp umbra]

ill do fine

[scarlet tinsel]

and math gives you nothing

doing well in BC, you still gotta take math 126

[sharp umbra]

fuck ap lang im not taking that s hit

[scarlet tinsel]

followed up with math 207/208

[scarlet tinsel]

lowkey my favorite AP class of them all, of course i had a great teacher

(totally not about to type professor lol)

I am proud to say I scored a B in her class, and it was well worth it

She's one of the best in the PNW

[sharp umbra]

yea nobody gets an A in ap lang at my school

[scarlet tinsel]

Ha, so you're taking the easy way out, good for your mental health 💪

[sharp umbra]

in one class they pulled up a 6/6 essay that collegeboard gave out

and the teahcer graded it

[scarlet tinsel]

people who take those at UW are likely to just be in suzzallo studying 24/7

[sharp umbra]

a 1 / 2 / 0

aka a 50%

[scarlet tinsel]

because that way they can ensure students exceed cb standards

The average APUSH exam score for our school was a 4.4 last year

[sharp umbra]

i think its similar for my school

our 5 rates for classes like pa chem and ap world

are absurdly higher than the national avg

[scarlet tinsel]

Average AP CSA was a 4.6

Crazy high average

[sharp umbra]

ap csa is marginally easier than apush.

sorry majorly

i keep using marginal when im trying to describe something big

and its so backwards

our chem 5 rate

is like 45%

if ir ecall correctly

[scarlet tinsel]

Ehhh our classroom average was a 78% and our teacher had to square root curve all of our grades at the end of the first semester lol

APUSH was easier cause avg was 88%

somewhere around there

👏

[sharp umbra]

reunning start

is for lowers bro

self study

its not that bad

[scarlet tinsel]

ok bye time to mod on ka

smart lol, i took two COMM classes at a cc, best choice ever to knock out credits

uw also charges insane $$$$

[long badge]

im fully expecting a CE rejection and tbh im fine with it

[long badge]

in the engineering school and nor liberal arts

actual computer engineering is ECE

[crisp light]

Hey guys,
How hard is UW ACMS to get into
Because I am shit scared because my grades arent that great and SAT is alr

[sharp umbra]

it’s probably similar difficulty to comp sci

[vivid cobalt]

transfer apps open today

[crisp light]

anything better than the 2% of Comp Sci

[sharp umbra]

ok so its 12.5%

given that there are two cycles i think theyll admit around 100 total students a year

gonna delete whatever bs i said earlier bc its wrong + i didnt realize u had to transfer in

[crisp light]

thanks
good to know

[boreal elk]

what is dtm

[scarlet tinsel]

Direct to Major. There are several admissions paths that high school students can be accepted into, and DTM is one of them (also known as an FDA student — Freshman Direct Admit, which is usually what we call ourselves)

We don’t say we’re a “DTM” but we do say we’re an “FDA” if someone asks how we’re already in a major.

[old dawn]

i love washington

[outer tangle]

Hey, does anyone know the decision release date?

[vale pewter]

March 1-15 but i think it came on March 9 last year

[outer tangle]

got it thx

[boreal elk]

oh i see

thanks

[reef current]

Hi I have a question about applying to college, I'm a fairly non-traditional student. I'm 23, for my first few years of high school I blew off classes, didn't do home work, didn't do classes, generally a terrible student, the only reason I was able to pass classes was due to high test scores. Middle of my junior year I got my shit together, started full time dual enrollment at a cc, overall my high school GPA was 2.4, but after this change of heart it was 3.8, I got a 33 on the ACT, my initial plan after high school was to join the military but unfortunately some very serious health problems got in the way and I put all thoughts of the military and school out of my mind. I've recently been thinking of going back to college, UW would be on the shortlist. Do I have a shot if I were to apply direct? I don't want to spend 9 months dicking around at a community college.

[sharp umbra]

depends

what major do you intend to apply to

[reef current]

Math, Geology/Geophysics, or just Undecided

[reef current]

only about a year and a half

[twin vortex]

Did anyone else get a text about a gc for UW or could it be spam??

[runic crater]

I just got one

What the fuck is zeemee

[final wasp]

zeemee is so weird

[true lagoon]

Omg I remember zeemee

[final wasp]

zeemee is how I found out I got into Texas a&m

I didn’t get an email or anything I was just moved to an admitted students chat

Weirdest shit ever

[scarlet tinsel]

ZeeMee is a college app that nobody uses except for finding roommates

It's a real app

[soft barn]

is it important to join?

[bronze mural]

^^

[bronze mural]

thats so crazy

[final wasp]

There are college reps active for questions but it’s mostly just people socializing in general

[scarlet tinsel]

Not at all important to join

[long badge]

how tf does udub take so long to admit

[scarlet tinsel]

they have a small team of about a dozen people who do everything for admissions

together they read all 60k+ applications, make decisions, etc

[umbral moat]

Is it a good sign?

To get the invite

[boreal elk]

no

[long badge]

they need to hire more people fr

[mighty hare]

when do decisions come out

Im new to the thread btw

Its just...I have EA apps submitted after UW rd

[sharp umbra]

march

[mighty hare]

please tell me I don't have to wait till march

[sharp umbra]

you have to wait till march

[mighty hare]

oh okay

Pretty sure by then I'd forget I actually applied here

[sharp umbra]

why did u even apply then lol

[mighty hare]

Because I liked the programs offered

[sharp umbra]

then why would you forget 😭

[mighty hare]

like I do for everywhere else and like everyone else does

[mighty hare]

normal waits are like 3 months max, ea 11/1 to january, rd january to march

this is like what, 4.5 months

I could get Rutgers RD decision before UW's comes out

[sharp umbra]

LOL fair

[mighty hare]

For everything else it is just like "oh, I ea'd, that's january" and "oh, I gonna rd, that's march" and then there is UW

[fervent rampart]

Depends ucs are a solid 4-5 months

[mighty hare]

except I love the ucs more, uw is just like "the other target school" for me and a lot of ppl im sry

[boreal elk]

tbf uw doesnt label as early

they just label it as regular

uw being a target is wild must be insane stats

[final wasp]

isnt uw a target if not cs or engineering?

[sharp umbra]

udub is a safety for a lot of majors dude LOL

also i think its reasonable to put udub as a target (for the allen school, bc thats what im assuming we're talking about) if ur instate and have good stats and ecs

[boreal elk]

i see

i didnt know

[sharp umbra]

the general acceptance rate of the whole school is like 55%

[boreal elk]

cool

my major is still like 15% unfortunate

not cs or engineering

[river burrow]

acms?

[boreal elk]

yuppers

[sharp umbra]

if ur talking about acms

given that there are two acceptance cycles in the year

12.5% is lower than the real rate

[boreal elk]

wdym real rate

idk what any of that means

[sharp umbra]

the acms acceptance rate is like 12.5% per cycle

but they have 2 cycles every year

[boreal elk]

isnt that the real rate then

also whats the other cycle like summer?

[sharp umbra]

think its spring

[boreal elk]

Cool

Imma get in🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[runic crater]

is it worth sending official SAT scores

since ik they don't look at them unless ur on the fence

[mighty hare]

how good are they

if you are like 1580 or smth then yes

if you are like what, 1290 then no

[final wasp]

I love how the dog answers questions on zeemee it’s so cute

[sharp umbra]

isnt this technically dubs 2

i heard the old dubs died a few years aGO

ago*

[boreal elk]

Nah he’s gonna do his own thing

[final wasp]

Yeah 😭

[boreal elk]

Bro knows too much 💀

[sharp umbra]

they don’t look at them unless ur on the fence and ur score is above a 1400 iirc

yea 1400 or 31 and above is considered if ur on the fence

[runic crater]

i have a 1460 single test and 1480 superscore

[sharp umbra]

yea submit

[final wasp]

wait do they take self reported common app scores

[sharp umbra]

probably

[vagrant flint]

whats informatics like

[sharp umbra]

@scarlet tinsel i think is an info major

[scarlet tinsel]

Yes I’m an info major… do you have a more specific q? I’m also on an intl trip rn so sorry in advance for late replies!

I got into info FDA

[vagrant flint]

oh yeah sorry if that was too broad, more like:

• what exactly does the curriculum focus on?
• how much tie-in does it have with computer science (as that’s my first choice major)?
• on their website they say “A small percentage of students are admitted to this major directly as freshmen. The majority will be admitted through the standard admission process after enrolling at the UW.”, what exactly does this mean 😅

[scarlet tinsel]

I consider it “interdisciplinary CS” — you’re coding but you’re also designing, reflecting, and innovating along the way. informatics majors are known as the “bridge” between other disciplines. You can talk in coding language but also design, PM, etc language. It’s about making things with the mindset of the people — I.e accessibility issues, design frameworks, that type of thing, it’s a unique major.

It has some tie in with CS and you need to take several CSE classes, but it’s a very broad major in that you’re taking classes from a variety of disciplines

As for “a small percentage,” several majors are capacity constrained (business, engineering, etc) and a small number get direct admission into the major. That essentially just means you don’t have to apply into it if it’s capacity constrained.

If you want to do CS, then definitely aim for that since it’s such a difficult major to get into

[vagrant flint]

can i minor in informatics alongside a cs major cuz that def sounds like something i wanna do

[trim crown]

Is there a bioinformatics path way off of the informatics major?

[sharp umbra]

yea if i get in dtm cs i might pick up info as a 2nd

[scarlet tinsel]

Ehh I don’t think it’s worth it since there are too many similarities

Do HCDE or industrial design maybe

[vagrant flint]

oh yeah good idea

[scarlet tinsel]

For INFO it’s not recommended to do CS, because CS is essentially “info on tech steroids.”

To expand your career options it is smarter to go into design, business, maybe something else that’s more humanities based

[scarlet tinsel]

They’re honestly making so many changes right now that I can’t keep track of but I believe bioinformatics is still a pathway as of now

[long badge]

gotta say, i apprecate the emails even though im not getting in

[keen vapor]

So I already sent my December 2023 SAT to UW through collegeboard and I called them like 2 weeks ago and they said they would automatically update as long as it got sent before the 31st, my SAT score has been sent for about a week now but how do I know if they definitely updated my app with it?

[keen vapor]

do you think they’ll respond before new year

[boreal elk]

prob not

I would imagine they look at semester 1 yes

Since decisions don't come out until March 1-15

[final wasp]

they don’t

they said so on the zeemee channel

[bronze mural]

oh fr?

yay

[sharp umbra]

na they don’t

[bronze fossil]

Kind of an L for me tbh

[sharp umbra]

the deadline is in november 💀

[bronze fossil]

I mean my grades in previous years are still good

[sharp umbra]

what major r u applying for

[bronze fossil]

But 1st semester this year was honestly my best percentage wise so far

Lowest grade was either a 97 or 98

[bronze fossil]

PoliSci

[round yarrow]

bro ur getting in then

thats the freest major in the whole world

[willow bluff]

i'm tryna go to uw for physics major

i'm in state so that might help i suppose

[turbid karma]

What’s admission like for history majors? I’m out of state

[boreal elk]

prob not too competitive i think

[long badge]

should i apply to uw tacoma

i think i opted to have them send info as well when i applied to seattle

[bronze mural]

dont sleep on uw tacoma

r u in state

[long badge]

nah

im not getting in ☠️

[short forge]

I don’t think it’s worth going to UW Tacoma if ur not in state

[long badge]

nah its not

nor am i planning to
a lot of schools i already am in to are state flagships

[sharp umbra]

hell na

tacoma is auto admit 🗿

[sharp umbra]

if u want the udub degree that bad

at least go bothell

[vague sequoia]

u alr have full ride to tosu

so

[round yarrow]

bruh bothell is cheeks

what r u on

[sharp umbra]

at least

[round yarrow]

the better option is to go to a UW and do anohter similar degree

and try and get in for grad school or be one of those lucky ones who can transfer

UW Bothell is just committing to 4 yrs on a satellite campus

[sharp umbra]

u graduate with the same degree

it legit doesnt matter lol

[round yarrow]

it says on the UW Bothell degree that it's bothell

[sharp umbra]

its like going to uoft missassauga

[round yarrow]

so if you care about prestige

[sharp umbra]

no it doesnt

[round yarrow]

it 100 percent matters

[round yarrow]

yes it does

if you search it up it will say

University of Washington - bothell

[sharp umbra]

oh yeah it does

idk it doesnt matter

u went to the unviersity of washington

[round yarrow]

but you have to specify its bothell on ur resume or sum

March 1-15 it was 9 last year

[queen cape]

Ok thank you

[vestal garnet]

👍🏼

[raw sparrow]

any aero-astro eng applicants here. if yes u guys knowthe acceptance of this program ?

[mossy barn]

very low if you're oos + international

[raw sparrow]

its gonna be that hard still ?

[mossy barn]

idk

I don't have the ability to chanceme you

[raw sparrow]

np

[mossy barn]

also im pretty sure they don't give ints aid

like at all

[raw sparrow]

yeah im just hoping for a good scholarship

[lapis solar]

what's ee competitiveneses

internally

can you go presci to ee

[fervent rampart]

Don’t ask for chancemes

[sharp umbra]

teh school of engineering does not admit you by major

so youd have to get in first and then you have to get into your major, so i'm purely going to look at the stats for the engineering school

@lapis solar @raw sparrow the acceptance rate for non washington residents for the engineering college is 43%

[lapis solar]

wait is it possible to get in prescience to engineering

presci -> egg

eng

[sharp umbra]

i frankly do not know

[raw sparrow]

thanks thats a lot of help

[vale pewter]

does my intended major influence my app in any way or does the college i applied to matter

[hearty glen]

College u applied to

[vale pewter]

so if i change my major rn it wont affect anything right

[hearty glen]

Idts?? Idk if changing in January would have an affect tho

[bronze fossil]

I believe that for intended major, if you applied to a competitive program you might not get into that program but still be able to be admitted to UW

[vale pewter]

what if both are uncompetitive lmao

[bronze fossil]

Well then you probably get admitted to the program or you just don’t get accepted

[boreal elk]

Hi [REDACTED]! University of Washington is inviting you to the official group chat for interested students on ZeeMee!

[final wasp]

i got that too and joined

the zeemee chat is so toxic

like its actually insane 😭

[boreal elk]

what are they saying?

show a ss

Let’s not doxx people’s names

[final wasp]

sorry 😭

[paper mantle]

wait does UWash have CS in engineering and in liberal arts?

wait nvm

[boreal elk]

is that fr considered doxxing?

its like on the gc?

interesting

[fervent rampart]

There’s full names and I’m guessing those people did not consent to their names and pfps being posted on a2c

[boreal elk]

interesting ok

[sharp umbra]

ive heard zeemee is just completely random

[round yarrow]

when does UW decisions come out

[vale pewter]

March 1-15

[boreal elk]

it is lol

[final wasp]

if i don’t get in here im getting disowned

is that bc u think ur gonna get in or bc u think ur not gonna get in lmfao

[final wasp]

How hard is U Washington DTC for engineering?

[sharp umbra]

not that aids

[crisp light]

Does UW ask for Mid Term Grades?

[final wasp]

No

[scarlet tinsel]

Depends on the major. ECE is much harder than Civil

[raw sparrow]

when do EA decisions come out ?

[final wasp]

uw doesnt have ea

all decisions come out early-mid march

[raw sparrow]

ohk that late

[lavish lagoon]

Anyone know what being a chem/or physics major is like?

[runic crater]

i think my counselor might have sent my midyear grades to all of my common app schools regardless if they asked for them

ill try to find out tomorrow

if she did send them then im fucked because with +/- it drops my gpa from 3.73 to 3.67

[scarlet tinsel]

I'm not too familiar, but I know that the Chemistry major is a fairly intense one. One of my roommates is just knocking out prereqs and is suffering... the intro classes are hard, and the ochem classes are brutal

[scarlet tinsel]

UW doesn't look at midyear grades.

On average, your application gets 5-7 minutes of review by an admissions officer before they choose to accept, waitlist, or reject your app. They don't have the time to look at midterm grades, and there's barely enough bandwidth in the system to take them anyway. You're good to go

Our UW registration systems (which is the same one they use for applicants) sucks as it is but thankfully that means it rejects anything from the system that UW doesn't expressly say it wants to keep

[vale pewter]

@scarlet tinsel hey do you know how generuos uwash is with scholarships for oos students

[scarlet tinsel]

UW is a public school, and scholarships are... not good for OOS students.

It's only too often that I hear people are paying $60k/year if they're not in state

With few to none scholarships

On a financial level UW is not your friend

Unless you're doing CS, pre-med, business, informatics, or engineering, I honestly wouldn't come... those are the top ones that are capacity constrained

[vale pewter]

https://www.washington.edu/financialaid/types-of-aid/scholarships/undergraduate-scholarships/
they have a separate thing for non residents tho?

is that very competitive to get?

[vale pewter]

also do you mean fields other than these dont have good departments and resources?

[scarlet tinsel]

You don't wanna be paying off debt unless you're in a genuinely solid program. Many here are incredible but I'd only come here as an OOS student if you're going to receive a high wage right after grad

[scarlet tinsel]

There are many solid departments and resources, but they only use their own resources, not that of the University. You have a smaller pool of finaid to tap into if you're an OOS student, whereas in state kids have access to both any finaid resources from their department/school and the university itself

[vale pewter]

ohhhh thats fair

but academically uw is good in social sciences too right? like neglecting the financial part

[scarlet tinsel]

No, it's just that these programs are generally the most competitive and are known to be well funded because of the many successful alumni.

Many other majors are awesome too!! don't get me wrong on that

[scarlet tinsel]

yes, UW is very strong with social sciences.

it's funny because you say you're either a "stem" or "humanities" student. psychology is a pretty big program

[vale pewter]

ok yeah i thought this was about the academic quality

finance part i can take care, but UW has a major i really like that i'd be willing to pay oos tuition for so just wanted to make sure the faculty and resources are good

[scarlet tinsel]

Nah, it's just those are generally the most competitive. If there's another school that has a good program and is less money, do the one that is less money.

[scarlet tinsel]

what major?

[vale pewter]

law, societies and justice

[scarlet tinsel]

Ooh yes I have several friends who are doing that lol

I've heard it's a solid choice

[vale pewter]

yep definitely! plan is to go with the cheapest option but rn for me thats purdue whereas i have family members who live 15 minutes away from the university so parents would rather pay extra to send me to seattle than indiana

[vale pewter]

are they liking it?

[scarlet tinsel]

From what my friends say, they enjoy it! Haven't asked them many deep questions about it since I have no interest in LSJ but they like it a lot

[vale pewter]

yep thats fair lol

[scarlet tinsel]

Sure sure

[vale pewter]

you're a cs major right?

[scarlet tinsel]

No, Info major. CS is too much coding for me lol

As an INFO major I take several CSE classes but it's not fully CS. It's interdisciplinary, so we take classes in product management, UX/UI, data science, and AI/ML

[vale pewter]

ahhhhh interesting

[scarlet tinsel]

yeah some majors are weird in that they kinda combine multiple majors together...

[vale pewter]

we love interdisciplinary

i've applied for interdisciplinary honors, if i get that and a scholarship ill prolly choose uwash lol

[scarlet tinsel]

oh please don't say uwash 😭 it's uw bahahaha

the one thing oos students learn to say is "uw" pronounced "u dub"

uwash is "uwash in st louis" lol

dw most kids say that

[lavish lagoon]

Running start better be my saving grace then

[scarlet tinsel]

if you can skip Chem 142 lol, do it

[vale pewter]

HAHA OKAY i also applied to uni of wisconsin so when i see uw my mind automatically goes to that 😭

i will start saying udub tho!!

[raw sparrow]

anybody got acceptance rates for UW engineering

[crisp light]

Direct to College, engineering 3-year average admit rates
For more information about direct to college, visit the College of Engineering FAQ page.

Residency type Admit rate
Washington resident 54%
Non-Washington resident 43%

[raw sparrow]

great

[runic crater]

oh thank gosh

how do yk so much about how their stuff works lmao

[scarlet tinsel]

Because every student on the UW campus can agree that the systems are the worst

Despite having the greatest CS school, we have the worst online infrastructure that exists

😂

it's prety sad honestly

But yeah I also know someone who was once an intern and said as much as he could that wasn't NDA about admissions

[runic crater]

I can tell by the portal

[white abyss]

does anyone know how to withdraw T-T

i can't find it in the portal

[bronze fossil]

Lol the applicant portal for UW is terrible good luck

[white abyss]

HAHAHA i noticed, i gave up and just filled out the question form instead 😭😂

[scarlet tinsel]

my.uw.edu

[sharp umbra]

they shoudl just get one of their like 2500 cs majors to make the website

im sure the kid is ognna put it on his resume just like his calculator project (he has internships at google cuz his dad works there)

[scarlet tinsel]

it's a running joke in the university among stem majors lol

[sharp umbra]

what is

the dogmeat website?

when i clicked on it the first time i legit thought it was a scam

[scarlet tinsel]

it functions as it needs to, but it looks kinda yucky and is pretty terrible when it comes to the number of sites you need to memorize... i only have a few memorized, like my.uw.edu, myplan.uw.edu, myhfs.uw.edu, canvas.uw.edu, and ischool.uw.edu/informatics

[fleet hemlock]

does UW look at your common app essay??

It says that they have their own “personal statement” which is literally the exact size as a common app essays and common app doenst say they require it

but why is my common app essay showing up on my application PDF then 😭😭😭

Or do they just not review your common app

i’m so confused

[vale pewter]

You can request not to send your common app

[fleet hemlock]

mine has my common app essay twice. once in the common app essay location and once in the UW personal statment. Am i screwed?😭

I checked online and everyone is saying that they don’t review your common app essay

[vale pewter]

uhhh i mean if you submitted it they'll see it

but might not review it

[scarlet tinsel]

No.

They only look at the three statements (one of which is optional) on their website

[vagrant flint]

so whenever the college board asked me if i wanted to do a free score send for ap credits, i sent them to uw because i didnt know where else to send them. i logged into my uw account earlier today (cuz im doing uw in the hs courses) and found out that from all of those scores and all the uwhs courses i took, i have 34 credits already

[lavish lagoon]

Aye did anyone here do running start?

[vagrant flint]

does anyone know what the instate odds are of being rejected from cs but getting admitted to general sciences (vs outright rejection)

[scarlet tinsel]

25% acceptance into CS, 50% acceptance into the university

[vagrant flint]

what’s considered “typical” stats for getting accepted generally into uw

i sorta found out too late that my second choice major was DTM

[scarlet tinsel]

Typical that’s sorta hard to say. If you want to get into CS your unweighted would ideally be a 3.9 or 4.0. Into the university, above a 3.8

I’ve seen people get in with a 3.6 although there are definitely fewer

[vagrant flint]

yeah i have a 4.0 unweighted

[runic crater]

I have a 3.74 for engineering I hope I’m not cooked

[fleet hemlock]

I think ittle be fineeee

[sharp umbra]

every single comparable cs program usually had a 25 of like 3.9 and a 75 of 4.0

i can go probably find the numbers tho

[scarlet tinsel]

the university's goal is to admit good students, but also support wa students. so if you're a wa student you still have decent luck

[sharp umbra]

yeah pretty much

they just dont let u in oos lol

83 kids out of 5060 is criminal

[old dawn]

what the hell

[runic crater]

wait where’s that from

I’ve seen the 2% but not the numbers

[sharp umbra]

out of state domestic admissions for cs over the last year (or 3 years? either way it doesnt matter)

[fleet hemlock]

does UW look at ACT in the admissions process?

[sharp umbra]

if ur application is borderline and the score is above like a 1400 sat (i think this is what like a 32?) they look at it

[fleet hemlock]

ahhh gotcha

[old dawn]

when does uwash release

[sharp umbra]

march

last year was 9

[potent verge]

damn 9th

so long to wait

although clearly it doesnt matter cause oos

[sharp umbra]

i mean

the oos cs acceptance rate is 2% not 0%

[viscid adder]

2%>0%

[hidden cave]

Do UW look at my first semester senior grade? I kinda bombed it and I 'm afraid it will affect the decisions.

[potent verge]

well georgia tech's was higher and that went nowhere

i figured washington would be more attainable

but 2% is yikes

[sharp umbra]

getting rejected from one school doesnt give u an auto rej from antoher lol

[potent verge]

yeah of course but it doesnt bode well

[final wasp]

no they dont

[vagrant flint]

if i applied for uw interdisciplinary honors, when do i hear back regarding that

[vale pewter]

same time as admission afaik

[vagrant flint]

do you know if it’s two separate notifs or if it’s part of the same response like “you’ve been accepted into cs! you’ve also been accepted into the honors program!”

[vale pewter]

i dont know about wash specifically but for my other schools thats how it came

[vagrant flint]

makes sense

[hearty glen]

It’s after afaik

[pulsar mango]

when r decisions out

[vagrant flint]

march

[pulsar mango]

march what

[vagrant flint]

unsure if they’ve said a specific day

[vagrant flint]

1-15

[pulsar mango]

k thx

[old dawn]

i have better chance cuz im not cs

[runic crater]

ngl I’m kinda worried that they’re not asking for my official sat scores

ik they barely ask anyone for them

but my academics are below average for them so it means either I didn’t make it or I cleared it with the rest of the app

this is probably a bit irrational but I kinda felt like I had to say it somrwhere

[boreal elk]

nah dw they mosrly dont care

i wouldnt worry about it just yet

[glossy trench]

how competitive is uw neuroscience?

[knotty lichen]

I’ve been wondering the same 😭

[sharp umbra]

there’s like 60 seats

so probably very

[crisp light]

Why the website so bad
There is no proper checklist
there is 1 page and like 2 paras saying they will ask if they need anything but all good for now

[sharp umbra]

the website is horrible

get used to it

TOP CS SCHOOL MY ASS

[boreal elk]

"zeemee!"

[willow bluff]

I'm doing it

[hearty glen]

When does uw rd come out again

[sharp umbra]

like march

oh wait march is in a month wtf 💀

[boreal elk]

more like 12 days

[knotty lichen]

Yay

[final wasp]

I love uw so much pls let me in 😭😭😭

[crisp light]

sammeeeee

[snow bloom]

between march 1 and march 15

im pretty sure i saw that somewhere

[knotty lichen]

Same.

[north mulch]

^

[scarlet tinsel]

Last year my decision came out on March 9. Will probably be similar for you.

[snow bloom]

how are you liking UW? I love the campus, academics are obviously good, but what about student life and stuff? making friends and things like that

[scarlet tinsel]

I personally have enjoyed my time at the UW so far! I think that student life really is what you make of it. There are over 1000 RSOs but only about half of students probably are actually a part of one.

If you have no social life, your experience definitely won't be that great. I recommend doing all the events that happen during Dawg Daze and get out of your comfort zone a lot to meet new people. Most people will be just as uncomfortable but it's a great way to break the ice and hopefully create some friendships

[snow bloom]

thanks for the advice! now hopefully i just get in 🤞

[scarlet tinsel]

best of luck!

[urban flume]

Does anybody have info on instate direct to major acceptance rate for foster?

[sharp umbra]

prolly around 20% if i had to guess (im just asusming its similar for cs in competitiveness)

[old dawn]

here we go ig

[boreal elk]

shlawg acting like tmrw is doomsday

[old dawn]

nah its just this school is one of my dreams

[boreal elk]

good luck 🙏

[lavish lagoon]

Guys wth is aeronautics and astronautics

That actually sounds sick

[boreal elk]

air stuff

[old dawn]

space

[lavish lagoon]

If one wants to go into fusion would this be a good major for that?

[raw sparrow]

yeah i've applied for this major

[lavish lagoon]

Gl

In state or out?

[raw sparrow]

international lol

[lavish lagoon]

On god ✝️

Tell me how it is when you get in

[raw sparrow]

i've also heard this department provide a lot of internships in Boeing

cause the school is named after it

[raw sparrow]

sure

[runic crater]

Boeing is also huge in Seattle

they have assembly lines in Everett and Renton

and they do flight tests at Boeing Field in Seattle

[sharp umbra]

udub s in general has a lot of opportunities for internships

best school in the region and a lot of huge companies (google, msft, meta, boeing, nasa i think? etc etc)

[vale pewter]

how competitive is the mjor tho

like getting in

[sharp umbra]

probably published online

u can just google it

[raw sparrow]

yeah exactly

purdue has this same major too. but i would prefer UW to it

[sharp umbra]

uw campus is nicer + purdue l ratio

[raw sparrow]

yes of course

[raw sparrow]

around 35% acceptance rate

[limpid pulsar]

when does uw come out

[raw sparrow]

2nd friday of march

[vale pewter]

shit

[lavish lagoon]

[crisp light]

Its kinda crazy to think that they prolly already made a lot of decisions on applications and are just waiting to finish all and then send them out

[vagrant flint]

[lavish lagoon]

!Udub

!uwashington

[sharp umbra]

ngl i was surprised people outside of wa actually applied here

i thought it was just a hodgepodge of seattle asian kids

[quaint summit]

do they do rolling decision releases between march 1 and 15

or like when can i expect to get a decision

[limpid pulsar]

[vale pewter]

I SWEAR

[idle stag]

[final wasp]

I actually hate that so much omg

[midnight kindle]

they have to release in waves because otherwise their site would prob crash lol

[sharp umbra]

website is pretty bad yeah

[nocturne pebble]

yo when did udub come out last year

[bronze fossil]

With their CS program you would think they could find a better dev

[sharp umbra]

yeah

hire one of the 500 graduates to make a website for u

[vagrant flint]

isnt one of their cs classes about web dev

[old dawn]

is it supposed to be aeronautical engineering?

[raw sparrow]

aeronautical is just taught for 2 sems

the majority is aerospace engineering and astronautics

[stone coral]

Whats udub s acceptance rate for class of 2027

[bronze fossil]

42.8% overall

So less for OOS

Lowkey I might not be getting in guys 💀

[lavish lagoon]

What major?

[stone coral]

Oh okay thanks, do you know specifically whats the acceptance rate for the college of arts and sciences

[stone coral]

Me too lol

[bronze fossil]

[stone coral]

Neuroscience and microbiology for second choice im f-ed 💀

[lavish lagoon]

[stone coral]

Yeah how about microbiology?

[bronze fossil]

My GPA, SAT, and course rigor are stellar but my ECs, essays, awards 💀

[lavish lagoon]

I'm not sure

[stone coral]

I did test optional too 😭😭

[lavish lagoon]

Im cooked for next year

[vagrant flint]

what stats would yall say are good for in-state cs

[bronze fossil]

AR is 25% so you probably want 4.0 tbh as well as course rigor in things like AP Calc AB/BC, AP CSP/CSA, AP Phys 1/2/Mech/EM

[vagrant flint]

lucky for me i have

all of those

:D

• a whole bunch of uwhs courses if those do anything to help

[bronze fossil]

I mean I feel like you have a decent shot then

Idk anything about UWHS courses, I’m OOS so

[vagrant flint]

they're just uw courses taught in high school

[bronze fossil]
