Here is the kicker I am international do you think I can still get that Direct Admit?

2

Maybe. I wouldn’t worry about getting direct admit. You can always apply in your sophomore year like 80% of people

I would say maybe as well, but leaning towards no. The CS program admits such a tiny percentage of students compared to other universities with top CS programs. I know many students over the years who were admitted to programs like MIT, Carnegie Mellon and Stanford and were not admitted to UW. Their stats were as good (or better) than yours and they had some work experience in computer science as well. Sometimes it can help to have a letter of recommendation to the program or really talk about your interest in CS in the application. Hopefully someday the CS program will admit more students direct but it is still extremely, extremely competitive with so few spaces.
