@CourtneyThurston Your “standard advice”? Aren’t you 18 or 19 years old?
OP is instate. Direct admission is almost exclusively reserved for instate students and has always been “insanely hard.” I would be surprised if more than ten OOS students were offered it during the last two years. Were the “number of students [you know]” with similar 3.9 GPAs and 2380 SATs instate or OOS? Bear in mind, out of the almost 1.7 million SAT test-takers annually, only about 1,150 score 2380 or higher. A student with “similar stats” (who probably would be somewhere in the top 0.5% to 1% of the entering class) should not have much difficulty getting into the CS major through regular admission, as long as he or she continues to be a serious student in college.
Perhaps the advice for a student with “similar stats” who applies but is not admitted to Washington’s CS major directly should be to accept your admission offer from Stanford, MIT or Carnegie Mellon (or if the cost is less and cost is a factor for you, your admission offer from your instate public university, especially if it is UCB, UIUC, Washington, Georgia Tech, Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, UCLA, UCSD, Maryland, Purdue, etc.).
