<p>I would advise you to ask this question in the University of Washington forum on CC.</p>

<p>Before you applied did you look at the suggested courses for your major? </p>

In addition, classes to fulfill general education requirements which develop strong writing and analytic skills. ACCTG 215, ACCTG 225, MGMT 200, and Q METH 201 are suggested second-year college work.”</p>

<p>Even more specific</p>

<p>At UW when certain schools/majors are competitive they usually require some prerequisite courses to even be considered into said major/school. I don’t know what they are exactly, but I suggest you research and see if you can find prerequisites (I’m not meaning to beg the question, perhaps there aren’t prereq’s for the business school. But for other competitive majors, for example computer science and engineering there are prerequisites). </p>
