As an applicant for the class of 2021 (honors college applicant as well) one of my concerns is that UW is a graduate-centered school. When my parents attended the school nearly 30 years ago as graduates they were given more access to professors and to research funding. Some professors would not even bother to show up to office hours for undergrads or lectures.
I understand that graduate students typically participate in more research and interact with professors more often at almost any school in the country. However, is this factor a bigger problem at UW than other schools or do they just meet the norm?
Thanks in advance for the responses and message me/comment if any clarification is needed.
I have several friends that go to UW (undergrad) and one who just graduated from their M.Ed program. From what I’ve heard, it’s a big issue there - but even in the graduate programs, meaningful professor contact can be hard to come by. For undergrads, it’s even more difficult due to the size of the school. It may be different in the honors program, though - I would contact an admissions counselor with your concerns and see if they can offer you any reassurance.
Where else are you applying? If good relationships with your professors and undergrad research opportunities are important to you, there are better options out there.
Also - I saw on one of your other threads that you may be accepted to ASU’s honors college! My friend who graduated from UW’s M. Ed program went to Barrett. He was a National Merit Scholar and was accepted to several schools, but ended up at Barrett for financial reasons, and absolutely LOVED it (double majored in religious studies and history). He’s an incredibly smart, intellectual guy, and if I wasn’t dead set on going to school in CA, his great experience would have convinced me to apply there. 
thanks @catbird1, that advice is very helpful, especially the insight into the Barrett program. I’ve also applied to Dartmouth, Cornell, UPenn, Claremont Mckenna, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern. I would absolutely love to go to either Cornell or Dartmouth but am staying open to the possibility of attending ASU or UW because I read this article that, in summation, stated that people who were accepted at public, state schools and Ivies and chose to go to the public schools earned the same amount as people graduating from Ivies. Also, financially Ivy League schools will cost me about 50k-60k more than UW or ASU over 4 years.
@shaybay123 I read the same article and I totally agree! Every school is what you make of it.
