<p>So now I get your situation:
(putting on mind-reading spectacles)
- You are a transfer student from a California community college who couldn’t afford to go with your friend to UW as a freshman.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>You hope that UW will reverse itself and fund your full tuition/fees so that you can go up and play with your friend.</p></li>
<li><p>Major course of study doesn’t matter, because if it did, you would have checked the California State colleges and seen that ECE is offered. It is not offered too much at the UC’s. But this is really not relevant because you want to go to UW at all costs, and want Washington taxpayers to fund your education. (Maybe you didn’t know about the two systems of education in California-University of California and California State Uni’s?)</p></li>
<li><p>You’re a transfer student and you can’t figure out if the UW essay should be single or double-spaced and you’re not aware that transfer students get less FA than freshman.</p></li>
<li><p>You haven’t figured out that Washington taxpayers also have in-state students who are also majoring in ECE and will be funded before a OOS transfer student is funded.</p></li>
<li><p>You don’t seem to have involved your parents in the process. Your parents can help you read through items that you seriously need to evaluate. You need their help to fill out the FAFSA.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>BOTTOM LINE: You want to go to UW because your friend goes there.
REALITY: Not affordable. Limited Financial Aid. Few if any Scholarships for ECE.</p>
<p>Go on Fast Web and look up the scholarships and see what the requirements are for each scholarship and then note the amounts. It’s not very much money and you have thousands of kids applying for $1000 grants.</p>
