Hi,
So I’ve heard that the biochemistry program at University of Washington Seattle is competitive and hard to get into. I got into udub but not as a DA. Can anyone with experience let me know how difficult it is to get into the biochem major through early/regular admission? What happens if you don’t get in? Thanks!
I didn’t get DA either. I applied to neurobiology. But here’s what the Admissions said:
“1. Majors: If your assigned major is Computer Science, Business Administration, or Engineering - Undeclared; Congratulations! You were admitted directly into those programs. If you applied for any other Direct to Major programs, you will be assigned pre-major and direct entry will be determined in 1-2 weeks as the website states. For all others, pre-major will be assigned but you are not stuck in “social sciences” if you really want to pursue “arts”. It’s more or less a fancy word for undeclared. I encourage you to read: http://admit.washington.edu/apply/freshman/admission-to-majors/”;
So, from my understanding, there could still be a chance of Direct to Major. Hope that somewhat helps? 
This link mentions the typical GPAs of students admitted through early and regular admission:

Congratulations and good luck!
