<p>Explore the UW website for information. Look at the College of Engineering catalog section for answers about the requirements for acceptances into its programs. All freshmen are accepted to the university as a whole, not a particular program. Some programs are limited by facilities- engineering, for example. There will be competition among preengineering students for those spots after taking college courses and having a UW gpa. Some programs are popular and more students than can be accomodated want them, therefore they are most competitive and gpa’s are higher than for others. Your HS stats and activities will not matter for this, but may be a predictor in how well you do at UW. You should look at other schools policies for majors as well and determine your chances of being able to actually pursue your intended major. No crystal ball answers. Good luck.</p>
