Actually really surprised I got in when comparing to other people’s stats. My personal essay was formatted in a way of a C++ Code so I could make it stand out. Congratulations to the people who got in!
I forgot to add, in state.
@fergie24x no change in our portal either. Was this this first wave ? Anyone know ?
Even with your stellar grades & test scores and being in state, the majority of CS majors don’t get direct admit. Keep in mind that you will very likely get in sophomore year and this gives you a year to get a feel for what you want to do. Also the programs will be expanding the following year which may give you more options. Our older son has a friend who was not a CS direct admit, but got in as a sophomore. She got a great internship the summer after freshman year, a paid one the following summer and was offered a starting salary by another tech company of $160K a year prior to completing her junior year.
Just realized that I had forgotten to even publish my results, whoops!
Accepted!!!

Major: Pre-sciences (Applied for neurobiology and biology)
I probably will only go to UW if I got into the neurobiology program. I’m more of an individualized attention type of person for learning so if I didn’t get in I probably will choose one of the smaller liberal arts schools instead. Still super excited tho!!!

Personally, I think it was my essays that got me in because I am not a good test taker (clearly reflected in my score). I appreciate schools like this that see beyond numbers and actually take the time to read what I’ve written. So, to the UW admissions staff, thank you! Yay!
Still nothing from the portal after the delay
