I am in-state, running start. I have SAT 2320, GPA 3.9 UW, very good ECs but I was denied DA to CSE. On the other hand, I was admitted to UW Honors. I got in EECS Berkeley/CS UCLA and I got a LL from Columbia.
However, UW is my dream school… I wonder if I join UW Honors, whether this would make easier for me to get to CSE by end of the Freshman year. Does anyone know whether UW Honors helps anything?
