<p>OUT OF STATE APPLICANT
Would I get in/get a scholarship???
Do they give money to out of state students???</p>
<p>Oh god please don’t apply- your application kicks mine’s ass :P</p>
<p>In all seriousness, I can’t see them rejecting you with stats like those.</p>
<p>You’re likely to get in if you write stellar essays… Your ECs seem a little week only because it doesn’t really seem like you really stuck with anything (unless you were ASBsecretary all 4 years and I misunderstood). </p>
<p>Assuming you get in, it’s unlikely you you be awarded scholarship money other than the opportunity for loans.</p>
<p>"Do they give money to out of state students??? "</p>
<p>Not really. You can go here – [Student</a> Office of Financial Aid](<a href=“Student Financial Aid”>Student Financial Aid) – and play around.</p>
<p>i hope my “week” extracurriculars don’t hurt me too much!!</p>
<p>If you were an in-state applicant, I’d say you have an extremely good chance of being accepted. But since you’re out-of-state, you’re really going to have to convince the UW that you’re truly better than the best Washington state students.</p>
<p>Honestly, I think out-of-state students have a better chance of getting in than in-state students now. So, I think your chances are good.</p>
<p>No, I still think UW prefers to accept in-state students. Why? Because they’re more likely to enroll. Out-of-state students pay more money, but that’s only if they actually decide to enroll. And ~25,000 dollars a year at a public university (lower chance of getting a scholarship) doesn’t look too appealing. My point is, in-state applicants are typically more passionate about their state school, and are a safer bet than out-of-state applicants, who may be scared off by the price of tuition.</p>
<p>^
Kind of true. UW just accepts a LOT of OOS applicants so that they will get a decent number of students from OOS to enroll. Admissions knows that people from OOS are unlikely to enroll.</p>
<p>I agree with what you’re saying, mrlaurencenyugen. I guess what I’m trying to say is that UW is more likely to accept out-of-state students because they know that out-of-state students are less likely to attend, so they need to accept more in order to get a decent proportion compared to in-state students, since in-state students are more likely to attend if they are accepted.</p>
<p>Basically, if UW wanted the same amount of in-state and out-of-state students to enroll, they would need to accept a lot more out-of-state students because out-of-state students are less likely to attend. I don’t think that’s actually the case (I think they want more in-state students), but it still means that they are more willing to admit out-of-state students than in-state students since they know that less OOS students are going to matriculate compared to in-state students.</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, can you give me feedback on my thread? It’d be much appreciated.</p>
