Hi everyone.
I’m currently a high school junior doing running start at Cascadia College. I want to get into the electrical engineering program in either one of these schools, UWS preferably but I wouldn’t mind going to UWB. I’m on my high school’s robotics club and key club, and am currently doing track and field for my high school as well. I haven’t taken the SAT yet, I’m definitely planning to take it this year and my Senior year as well. Assuming I keep doing really well in running start, what are my chances of getting into either one of these school’s EE programs? and what are some things I can do to make my application better? I’m very new to researching about stuff like this, and some days I just get really paranoid and I haven’t had much luck researching online but from what I’d heard, UWS is way harder to get into, so if there are any things that I can start do now or keep on doing, I’d like to know what I can do. Thanks!
These are pretty much the “usual” hints, but just in case you haven’t heard them…
- Familiarize yourself with the UW CADR's and make sure you meet them all before high school graduation.
- When picking additional Running Start courses, choose the ones on the engineering transfer plan.
- Get to math up to at least a quarter of calculus, and do not bomb calculus. A big concern for engineering admits is "will he/she be able to handle the math?"
- Start your Coalition App the summer before senior year. UW's app was due November 15th this year, so not a huge amount of time after school starts to polish those essays.
