<p>I'm an senior applying for Computer Engineering. </p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 (my school doesn't do weighted GPA)
SAT:2260 (800 math, 750 critical reading, 710 writing)
ACT: 33</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities: Select soccer, National Honor Society (President), Cross Country, Track and Field, Scouting, FBLA, DECA, Chinese Club (Vice-President)</p>

<p>I am in full IB, I took Calculus and Physics I (got A's in both classes) as a junior and currently am in High Level Math and Physics II(I hear those are recommended classes for the program). I also take Mandarin, Business and Management, and did intro to robotics for a year.</p>

<p>Based on this snapshot how likely am I to be admitted for Direct Access in Computer Science?</p>

<p>I will be surprised if you don’t get direct admission into CS at UW.</p>

<p>You’d be a competitive applicant, but part of what will be a weight to the application is your personal statements. </p>

<p>I don’t know where the statistics are now, but when I was a freshman (2010), our cse direct admit class had 32 students and about 1,400 freshmen had marked computer science or computer engineering as an intended major (thus ‘applying’ for direct admit). The number of applicants have steadily increased, but the direct admit class size is about the same.</p>
