*****University of Washington Computer Science Direct Admission *****

I hear that direct admission to the UW CSE program is very difficult but there are not many stats of those admitted and rejected. If you are or were a direct admit it would be great if you could provide insight as to what your stats were and how the process works.

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED
THANKS!

Make sure you take hard courses (AP, college in the high school if available). Don’t take “Cooking 101” or “Home ec” just so you can get a 4.0 (you don’t need a 4.0, just do well enough in the hard classes). I think they mainly look at English, Math, and Science scores for the ACT, but I can’t confirm this. Also, make your essay personal - if you had experience with computer science growing up, mention it in your essay
