Already applied but I’m nervous as hell about it

My ECs aren’t really noteworthy in any way
Also how long does decision typically take?
You are over qualified, so I would say very good chance.
UW doesn’t have early admission, so all decision coming out in mid-March.
Your non resident status will work against you for direct admission.

CSE DA is designed primarily for Washington State resident students. Although a small number of non-Washington residents may receive offers, there is a very strong preference for Washington students.
UW’s website notes:
“For 2017, fewer than 3% of UW freshman applicants who listed Computer Science or Computer Engineering as their first-choice major were offered Direct Admission; these students had an average unweighted GPA of 3.97; average test scores of ACT 34, SAT Math 764, and SAT Verbal 758; took a rigorous high school curriculum; provided evidence of meaningful extracurricular activities; submitted strong personal statements; and were mostly Washington residents.”
