Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

<p>Today, I got an E-mail offering a direct admission into the material science and engineering major.</p>

<p>It said that this opportunity is for "small" group of people, but it really does not specify anything more.</p>

<p>So, is it a good thing? Ok thing? or great thing? as in opportunity wise?</p>

<p>I am fixed on majoring on engineering, so choice is pretty much made, but I am not sure about making it a fixed thing.</p>

<p>and also, how hard is it to get one of these offerings? is it an offer that I should be proud of and take it? or is it like a offer given to every enrolling freshmen?</p>
