As an out-of-state student, the UW needs your more expensive tuition. You're a more desired candidate, especially if you're not receiving financial aid.One of the things especially sought from Transfer applicants is a clear focus-- if it looks like you have a set major and career plan laid out, you're much more qualified than someone who only a goal, and no indication of what they've done or will do to succeed. GPA is still a factor though, and STEM majors aren't very lenient even if you come from a prestigious school.

In the territorial days in the western U.S., as the states were created among the territories, you’ll notice a pattern of capital cities being designated at roughly the center of each state, with a little variation. This is because the capital city was expected to be accessible by the most direct route to the greatest number of farmers and other settlers throughout those territories. You can see this among the other capital cities selected, such as Salem, Oregon, Sacramento, California, Helena, Montana, and so forth.At the time, much of what would be northeastern Washington State (northwest of the Palouse) was in the scablands of the Upper Columbia River Valley, and that was before the dams were built for irrigation. More people lived from the Lower Columbia north through the Puget Sound lowlands, and those in the north traveled by ferry to get around. So Olympia was selected mainly because it was at the center of the more populated western half and still reasonably accessible to people traveling downriver from the Eastern side. While Ellensburg would be preferred by Eastern Washingtonians, its location east of the Cascades meant that it was comparatively inaccessible to the greater number of settlers in the more populated Puget Sound.

I don't think it's a good idea, and I don't have just one reason why. I think with these types of issues it really just takes a lot of research, and really looking into a person, and their actions.During the past elections is when I started to hear of him and the controversy surrounding him. I started to look into him more and the information unfolding got stranger and stranger. I drew my own conclusions, from his past videos, past fb comments to others opposed to him and started adding up from there. Whether every detail out there about this guy is accurate or not, I believe there is some truth to it based on passed comments, and his actions.All I can really suggest is to look him up, look into past fb groups who have a lot of various different insider information. There was also a rolling stone article on him, that helps shed some light on exactly what this guy stands for. I honestly hoped people looked into this guy more before they voted him back in as there is definitely something not right with him.

With a decent to strong GPA and SAT, you should be fine. Your real problems will come with trying to get admitted to your major, especially if it’s in the stem field and competitive like CSE or ME.Your tuition will also be expensive, but that’s the nature of out-of-state university. It’s not an easy school to get into, but it’s not MIT or Stanford by any stretch of the imagination.

A former admissions officer, of the University of Washington, Tommy Segundo visited my senior year of high school’s language arts class to talk about college admissions for UW.He said that applicants are rated in two scales: academic and extra.Academic scale (X/10 points)Personal essay + extracurricular activities scale (X/10 points)Generally students need at least 13/20 to get admitted for in-state students. He didn’t say the policies for out-of state students (my high school was in Washington state)I had a GPA of 3.95, took 7 AP courses in my high school career, and took about 6 honors courses. My SAT was 1770/2400. My ACT was 25/36.He said I would get 7 points. If I didn’t take any AP or honors courses I would’ve gotten about 5 points. If I only took about honors course/year than I would’ve gotten 6 points. If my SAT was higher than I would’ve gotten more points.Your high school also matters. if you came from Phillips Webster Academy or ___top-ranked private high school in the USA____ your academic score would increase. He said that very few applicants would score a 10/10 for academics. It’s very uncommon to even have applicants get a 9/10.OH YEAH YOUR FIRST SEMESTER SENIOR YEAR GRADES ARE NOT CONSIDERED. DO NOT SEND TRANSCRIPTS. DO NOT SEND LETTERS OF RECOMMENDATIONS.Unless you want to get into UW Honors Program.But PLEASE DO NOT FAIL ANY CLASS THAT SEMESTER, ESPECAILLY THAT SENIOR YEAR MATH CLASS/SECOND YEAR FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASS/OTHER CADRs.Oh yeah, your junior year grades are very important. If you had SIGNIFICANTLY (Cs, Ds, maybe even an F or two) worse grades in your junior year/11th grade….basically a downward trend that isn’t nontrivial then….(though if you had all As in 9th and 10th grade, and get some Bs and Cs in 11th grade, then it’s not as bad, but explain it in your application if you really messed up 11th grade)Good luck! Remember the deadline is December 1.Oh yeah, if you want to study Computer Science at the UW, try to get into the direct admit and check out the udub reddit website and do your reserach there. Trust me, I would recommend if you are applying to UW as an out of state or international student, if you are 100% sure you want a Computer Science degree check out the reddit udub website.If you’re too lazy, basically applying to the UW computer science UNDERGRADUATE program is like reapplying to college. Unlike other majors where you only need to get a 3.0 average in prereq courses, you can get 4.0 in your intro courses and still get rejected. For more information go to the reddit udub website. One last thing, look up the majors UW has and find out which ones have a direct admit application from high school (ex: Business, Computer Science, HCDE, etc.). I know, you have to get admitted to the major, you can’t just “declare it”.About UW | University of WashingtonFreshman admission, autumn 201536,840 applied19,652 offered, 53.3%6,792 enrolledWA Residents11,259 applied7,379 admitted, 65.5%4,300* enrolledNonresidents (U.S. + International)25,580 applied12,273 admitted, 48%2,500* enrolledRUNNING START STUDENTSUW for admission, they act as if they are transfers. This lowers the number of actual spots for transfers. Most remaining spots go to either out of state transfers or primarily to in state community college transfers.So for TRANSFER STUDENTS not coming out from high school: Transferring is really difficult. REALLY REALLY DIFFICULTI know someone who had a 3.7 GPA at Bellevue College but couldn’t get in to UW because he failed 1 course. So don’t fail any course (especially at 2nd year) at Community College.

My answer will be very different from the previous ones, and I am quite confident about it: in general, yes it will.First of all, I am assuming you mean the good US universities, since you are asking about difficulty. Colleges do not hold everyone by the same standards, which is why Asians need exceptionally higher test scores than people from other races, or why people from states such as North Dakota can get into Harvard with the resume of a Californian reject. You will be no exception: people with gap-years are expected to meet higher standards.I got into 4 of the top 10 research universities with good financial aid -- well, I'd say 3 of them + Dartmouth, which I refuse to see as a good school -- after a gap-year (which I "took" unknowingly, since I did not even knew if I would apply to US schools after graduating from Brazilian High School). However, I can assure you it was not easy work. Many people who helped me throughout the process, since I had no familiarity with it at the time, told me I would have gotten into the same schools with a considerably shittier resume if I had applied straight out of HS. One of these people used to be an admissions officer at MIT.Despite all of that, I still encourage you if you have at least some of what it takes. Studying in the US has been an incredible intellectual journey (I am currently at a very small Liberal Arts College that allows me to dive really deep academically).My tip: DO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL WITH YOUR GP YEAR. Starting an NGO is a good choice in general, because it many times does not need much(/any) capital, it looks good, and it's open ended (it does not have to be about volunteering if you're not into that). Some anecdotes: I have a friend who got into UChicago early after having been rejected to all the schools to which he applied the first time -- he used his gap year to create an organization that connected ~1000 potential volunteers in his city to asylums and nursery schools in desperate need of help. I used mine to create a foundation that ran a series of events to help high school bands in my city present and promote their works.Good luck :)

Public universities like University of Washington, Love out-of-state students who have excellent academic prowess And pay in CASH with No financial aid from the state of Washington.So, if you are a very good student with very good standardized test scores and have $240,000 in cash to spend on your four years in Seattle, then you stand an excellent chance of being admitted.Go Huskies!!!!!

I grew up in Buffalo, NY and attended the University of Washington as an out of state student while I was still a New York state resident.There are two distinct paths you can choose when attending the University of Washington or most other state colleges or universities as an out of state student. You can elect to:remain an out of state resident while attending collegeattempt to gain in-state residency in the state where the public university or college you would like to attend is locatedFor the University of Washington specifically, there are pretty clear guidelines for how to become a state resident and all new students are required to fill out a state residency questionnaire.UW is primarily interested in the fact that you've been a resident of Washington for at least one year and that your primary purpose for being in the state is not educational in nature. This means that during the year you are attempting to gain residency you are limited to taking 6 credits per quarter (which is about 1 class).The residency questionnaire also looks to see what other steps you have taken toward permanently establishing yourself as an in-state resident. These range from your in-state work history, physical address, whether or not you've opened an account with a local bank like BECU, etc.The benefits of attending UW as an in-state resident are primarily financial in nature. The annual costs for a Washington state resident to attend UW are $27,034 whereas for out of state students, annual costs are estimated to be $49,338.From an educational standpoint, out of state students will receive identical preferences for class placement as in-state students. Out of state students will also, at least as incoming freshmen or as transfer students, receive their housing assignments only after all in-state students have been assigned to dormitories. This was a bigger issue when the University lacked enough on-campus housing in the early 2000s but has largely been nullified due to the construction of new student living facilities. In the 2014-2015 academic year, 77% of undergraduate students were Washington state residents, so it's something to be aware of that as an out of state student you'll be a minority. Given how friendly I found both in and out of state students at UW to be, I never really found this to be an issue.For me personally, I opted to supplement the total cost of attending UW as an out of state student by becoming a Resident Adviser. As an RA, UW provides free room and board in exchange for your planning educational activities and providing counseling services for undergraduate students living on-campus. Being an RA, in addition to the financial benefits it provided, was one of my favorite undergraduate experiences and I would highly recommend it both for in and out of state students.

It will depend upon the departments with the money and the student applying to that department.I wouldn’t count on any possibility for a full scholarship. Money has been tight and there is even less to go around than before. Be happy to get a partial scholarship if at all.
