university of washington - chance, purple and gold scholarship, and uw honors program

oos student from the east coast; i’m not too concerned about admission, much more worried about affordability
uw/w gpa: 4.0/4.56
sat: 2100 (700 M, 680 CR, 720 W) + i took the new one in october, guess would be from 1420 - 1500
act: 32
ecs: alright, 3 years sport (+ 1 year varsity), misc. clubs, two part time jobs, nhs, science nhs, spanish nhs, mu alpha theta, peer tutoring
aps: haven taken 7 (5s on 6 exams, 4 on spanish); taking 5 this year

interested in compsci, maybe english or journalism… if you have any recommendations of schools to look into that would be great!

As an OOS applicant, your stats are probably in the match/high match range for the Honors Program (http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/apply/freshman/faq/), and I expect you will be offered a Purple and Gold Scholarship, which could reduce the $45K/year tuition, room and board by up to $8,500/year. The CS, English and Communications (Journalism) departments are excellent.

Congratulations on your great academic record, and good luck with your applications.
