Regular Admissions CSE Majors - Stats

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington

I am a current UW Freshman and am very interested in hearing any and all information from those who applied to CSE through regular admissions (weather admitted or not).

  1. What were your grades (overall GPA and pre-req. grades)?
  2. How many times did you apply to the major?
  3. Any advice?

Everyone I talk to seems to stress getting 3.5 or above in all pre-reqs but I had a rough second quarter due to illness and am anticipating a 3.2/3.3 in Phy. and Math 126. My first quarter grades were awesome and I will work hard to write a strong essay. I know their is no magic bullet. I am very realistic so hearing from others so that I know what I’m in for, would be very helpful. I welcome any and all advice, stories, etc. Thanks!

Hey man, I am not even attending UW yet so I can’t help you out as far as CSE goes. However, one thing I would suggest is checking out the UW Reddit. It is a little more active than this forum, and has a lot of information about CSE. Best of luck on your application!

Thanks for the suggestion @RJDailey98 I will check it out!

although the forum is much more hostile and salty towards threads asking anything about academics
