<p>I got into UW for pre-engineering and Purdue for Computer Engineering. I am having a tough time choosing as UW does not guarantee the engineering major while Purdue is a sure shot, but it's far away(I live in Cali). Any help?</p>
<p>extremely difficult to get into the computer engineering program at UW. See this link [Engineering</a> Department Admission Statistics | <a href=“http://www.engr.washington.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.engr.washington.edu](<a href=“http://www.engr.washington.edu/curr_students/admissions/admitstats.html]Engineering”>http://www.engr.washington.edu/curr_students/admissions/admitstats.html)</a>
I am a UW grad and many of my friends children did not get into the engineering schools for next year.<br>
Did you get into CalPoly? – if so, go there.
Purdue is an excellent school, but need to fly to Chicago and take a train to Purdue. There are no commercial flights into Purdue area.
I would go to any school with a direct admit. They all teach essentially the same things because of accreditation requirements.</p>
