UW Transfer - Questions about OOS and CC

<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I have a couple of questions regarding UW. Your help is greatly appreciated :)</p>

<p>1) I'm currently studying towards a transfer AA in business in Illinois. If I want to transfer to UW later, should I finish this AA, or try to finish the AA at a Washington CC? As I am currently OOS, it would be cheaper and also more convenient to finish my AA here. My current college GPA is 4.0 and my high-school GPA was around 3.0 I think.</p>

<p>2) How important are high school grades compared to college level grades? My high school degree is from a foreign country, and clearly not as good as my college GPA. Also, do I need to have this high school degree evaluated?</p>

<p>3) My husband is moving to Seattle in May already to work full-time. Would I be a Washington resident in 1 year independent of whether or not I attend the CC there? I can already move to Washington and finish my Illinois CC classes online.</p>

<p>4) How important are things like EC and volunteering for transferring?</p>

<p>Thanks!
Paenam</p>
