<p>Hey everyone! Well, I'm a junior and i'm currently on the college hunt and UW has been suggested to me by my guidance counselor and a few family friends (since I'm in love with the west coast, especially Seattle and I have an interest in pursuing a career in Nursing or something medical related) and I DO NOT live in Washington.</p>
<p>I was wondering if being OOS would make it harder to get in to UW?</p>
<p>Yes, because there are fewer number of spots for OOS applicants but that shouldn’t deter you from applying!</p>
<p>You’ll have a shot at going to the school if you apply 
it shouldn’t matter how hard it is (I’m oos too… still applied and got in!)</p>
<p>Yes and no. The word is because of budget cuts and a hurting economy schools and UW in particular are looking for out of state students for a source of money.</p>
<p>The popular sentiment on campus is that it is easier to get in from OOS because a much lower percentage of admitted students actually matriculate, so there is a wider net cast.</p>
<p>thanks for all of your replies, i hope it works in my favor!
seattle seems like the most amazing place to go to school and live
and congrats xainar on the acceptance!</p>
<p>i’ll definitely apply</p>
