What are the top ranked schools in the Seattle and Tacoma areas?
I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm looking for a college or university to attend in the fall of 2009. I'm interested in attending school in Washington, specifically the Seattle and Tacoma areas, and I was wondering which schools area the best and how to figure out which one is the best fit for me.

Is it challenging to get accepted into the University of Washington Seattle?
Is it challenging to get accepted into the University of Washington Seattle?
I live in Tacoma (40 minutes away) and am close to getting my AA. I was wondering if UW was hard to get into. Ive heard many good things about the school and some people say its almost impossible to get into. is that true?

Im from Magnolia Seattle! well from my understanding it is much easier to get into if you are from/live in washington (cheaper too!). so for starters that raises your chances a lot. But seriously, Do you really want to be a Husky?? JKJK
3 :
It's definitely harder to get into because so many people from around the country want to go there. I've visited the campus and it is absolutely the most gorgeous college campus ever. They have a great reputation and, come on, it's in Seattle! haha
4 :
yes the uw is very hard to get into
5 :
it is hard (but not impossible, i know many people that have gotten in) but i might be easier for you, since you are transfering (im not sure) http://www.princetonreview.com/college/research/profiles/admissions.asp?listing=1023567<id=1&intbucketid= but here is a link with some info i think you should try, even if you don't meet the average SAT scores and such...you never know, you might get in :)
6 :
Regardless which university you get accepted in, it will be a challenge to continue with the studies and graduate. Remember this because Uni is not a walk in the park, it is meant to test you and stretch you into a person far beyond what you are now. Good luck.
7 :
Its moderately difficult, you'll need good grades & good test scores would help. Go ahead and apply & find out, good luck. I enjoyed my time at the UW - best 10 years of my life (ho ho).
8 :
It's definitely not a crazy hard school to get get into. It still is semi-competitive though. I just got accepted there and I have about a 3.8 GPA, a pretty good SAT score, but no extracurricular activities, which I think they're pretty into. If you have around a 3.5, decent SAT scores, and extracurricular activities,I'm guessing you're chances of being accepted are pretty good, but that's not some totally accurate statistic or anything. I'm not sure what an AA is, but if it's something to do with a community college and you plan on transferring into UW, then it gets pretty hard to get into because they're harder on transfer students. Hope that helps =)

I'm the perfect person to ask, literally. I moved from Washington when i was 14 yrs old to Michigan. Basically i grew up in Washington. That state is awesome. There are tons of asians there. Also, there is no racism there. I didn't know what racism was until i moved here. People are so nice there. Also, my dad lived in Seattle so i visited him a lot and that city is so awesome. You would love it there.

I can't answer all your questions, but I can say that western Washington state seems fairly rainy to many people living here, but that doesn't mean the sun doesn't come out now and then. I lived in Seattle for 4 years while attending the University of Washington as a young adult, and frankly, if I had guests, they saw all they'd wanted to see after one or two days, max. But then, we weren't "city" people. Outside of Seattle, Washington state and the Pacific Northwest are a treasure trove of scenic wonders and natural sights, relatively uncrowded if you get just a little off the beaten path. There's a saying that wherever you are, be there. That's funky, but the message is to embrace your surroundings, and you'll enjoy them. I couldn't really tell you whether or not there are lots of Asians living there, because most of us in fact do seem to be fairly color-blind in that regard. Welcome to the area...

With my grades and test scores could I get into University of Washington Seattle?
My high school GPA is about 2.9. I got a 26 on my ACT. I am an out of state student and have heard it is even harder for us. I have loads of extracurriculars both in and outside of school. I have won a few awards in school for sports, community service, and art. I have a serious life experience that explains my less than great grades. So what do you think, do I have a good shot?

Give it try anyway, because there is a certain amount of leeway in the selection process. Your extracurricular activities might sway the admissions department. Here's the bad news from the Seattle Post Intelligencer from May 15th 2008 on this fall's class: Incoming students reported an average high school GPA of 3.7 and math and reading SAT score of 1,206 UW ranked 21st on the US News & World report ranking of colleges. So you can understand that it is very competitive. Good luck.

Difficulty of admission to University of Washington-Seattle?
Difficulty of admission to University of Washington-Seattle?
I'm confused at the level of difficulty to be admitted to the University of Washington-Seattle. Some people claim it is really difficult to gain admission to this university and then there are some who claim admission is 70% of applicants (which I think would mean it is a relatively easy school to be accepted into!). I have applied for the Autumn semester, non-traditional transfer. Could someone please shed some light onto the level of admission difficulty of this school? Thank you.

Log off the computer and go out! Really the most obvious answer is the best one. There are plenty of places to meet women, even if you are not into the 'bar scene'. Coffee Shops Laundry Mats Grocery Store or probably the best option.....VOLUNTEER WORK! (the greatest women in the world can be found doing volunteer work, whether it is through a civic organization or even a church related group.....long term relationship is your goal? A COMPASIONATE woman is the one you seek!) Belive it or not, there are women EVERYWHERE....maybe you need to kick your self confidence drive in the rear and get it in gear! Good luck!

personal ads. I have also heard from a lot of sources that Tacoma is the single mother capital of the US. If you don't mind a chick who already has a kid, that could be a fruitful direction to look. If you're a K12 teachers, why not shtupp your co-workers? I had a friend who went through 'em like a rooster in a hen house.

I need to find some kind of park in Seattle, Washington?
I need to find a park in Seattle. I lived there for about 6 or 7 years and then i moved to Utah. I don't remember where the parks were exactly, i was young. So name (or describe) a few parks that are the closest to the Space Needle please. This is for my high school choir tour in April, i want to be prepared if the teacher asks if we should go to a park and have fun and do games. Curious question: I'm originally from Kent/Maple Valley, Washington. I moved from Kent to Maple Valley and then to Utah. Anyone here from Kent or Maple Valley?

I was living in Tukwila, which is close to Kent... moved to AZ. Seattle has soooo many parks. Discovery park is one of my favorites.

There is a park called Kash Park I'm not sure where its located you can look it up .. here.. There is one called Carkeek Park its really nice its got a nice trail and a big feild then a beach. Its really nice, also a Salmon Hatchery thingy. You should go!

The Olympic Sculpture Park, http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/visit/osp/, an outdoor sculpture park that is a part of (though not connected to) the Seattle Art Museum is one of the best parks with amazing artwork and sweeping views of the Puget Sound, just minutes walking from the Space Needle. Denny Park is just a couple blocks away, but isn't so breathtaking, though it's been recently cleaned up more and more. The Seattle Center grounds are very much like a park in a lot of areas and you can hang out at the International Fountain, the Center House, the Fun Forest Amusement Park (complete with rides/games/video games)! Not from Kent/Maple Valley, but I did look at condos in the area a couple years ago, haha...

Yes this is true. The UW Medical school is the most prestigious in the country. Only 4% of applicants are accepted, making it one of the toughest to get into as well. But you can still go to the UW for your undergrad premed which would be much easier. The UW as a whole accepts about 65% of applicants, so you should have a good shot to at least get into the University.

In the Seattle/Tacoma area (Washington State), what is a "good" school district for Special Education?
We have a 2nd grade son with autism and are thinking of moving to the Seattle/Tacoma area. The specific area is up to Green Lake to the North, Auburn to the East, and Federal Way to the South (nothing across the Sound). My biggest anxiety is in finding an school district that has a good quality *Special Education* program for our special needs child. (I know, I know..."good" and "public school" are a difficult combination to find.) If you have experience with a school district in the mentioned area (good OR bad), could you please share? Or even an experience at a specific school? I appreciate your answers in helping our family with this very tough decision.

Lacey is pretty cool. Why would you want to move there? It rains too much for me. Move to Hawaii.

I would reccomend Medina or Bellevue. Bellevue is only 10-15 minutes away from Seattle. It is just across the bridge and they have excellent schools and recreational activities. Medina is very nice. Most houses are water front(lake washington). Medina is very pricy although it has the newest elementary school in the area. Medina is about 5 minutes from Bellevue(not highway roads) and is the best sutible place for you family. It is beautiful, friendly and safe for your daughter to walk around by herself. Also if medina is a little to pricy I would reccomend issiquah. It is about 30 minutes from Seattle but still close enough. That area is very quiet and many new people move there every day. Hope this helps. A local real estate agencie is called John L Scott. I would take a look at their website called johnlscott.com

Seattle, although quite the city to visit during the summer is treacherous during the cold seasons, not only the rain, the winds, and the snow, but the biting cold. I don't recommend packing up and moving there without first going there during the hot and cold seasons. With regards to a neighborhood, there is a great area by the bay that has a lot of shops, kind of a mini version of SF bay and Catalina Island feel.
4 :
I recommend the eastside (east of lake washington, Seattle is on the west side of the lake). I raised my family in Kirkland and would suggest it or Bothell. Bothell is smaller and quaint. The Lake Washington school district is one of the best in the state, as is Bellevue.

What are good areas in Seattle, Washington?
What are good areas in Seattle, Washington?
I might be moving to Seattle, Washington within the next month. What are some areas to avoid? Where are the good schools? Where are some areas I should really look at to purchase a home? How is the weather?

It depends on what you can afford. Most anything close to Downtown, except for the area south of the city, which is mostly industrial anyway, is pretty nice. West Seattle is also nice, but more removed from the city and still expensive.
2 :
Weather is great. Avoid Queen Ann, I got raped there 3 times. Plenty of good schools, and no, it doesnt rain everyday.

Hmm..I went there on my honeymoon.. I thought queen ann was a very nice area?..... I'd say stay away from certain parts of broadway...gets a little hairy...
