<p>My son was admitted to NE (Honors) and also UW (although not direct admit to CS at UW). I know the UW computer science department is highly rated. How good is the Northeastern Computer Science department? Any insight you could provide would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Alright, I have to ask - what school is UW referring to? I know a number with that abbreviation.</p>
<p>Hi: UW is University of Washington. It obviously has a good CS department but you have to apply to the department and be accepted after you are admitted and based on 1st and potential 2nd year grades.</p>
<p>I’m from Wisconsin, so in my mind, UW is always University of Wisconsin. 
Having to wait a year to get into the CS program sounds nerve-wracking!</p>
<p>The best computer program associated with UW is at the University of Waterloo.</p>
