<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I went to a UW campus visit/informational session today, and I'm pretty sure I heard them say that they only admit 20% of the people from OOS, which seems ridiculous to me because that would put them on the same level as UVa, UCB/UCLA, etc. level, which they are definately not. In fact, that would make it harder than UCLA which accepts 27% of OOSers. Can anyone clarify this, because the only thing I can think of is that I confused it with the ratio of instate to OOS applications, but I'm pretty sure it was the former.</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>This is what I found in the website:
Entering Transfer Students: Washington residents 80.1%</p>

<p>They probably meant to say 20% of entering students are OOS, not they accept 20% of OOS applicants.</p>

<p>im sure planky is right,</p>

<p>That 80.1 stat is for transfer students....</p>

<p>According to collegeboard.com, the Univ. of Washington is composed of:
"</p>

<pre><code>* 77% In-state students
* 23% Out-of-state students"
</code></pre>

<p>That seems to be the 20% number they were referring to. Not admissions.</p>
