I'm considering applying for University of Washington - Seattle and I was wondering if anyone who's attended / or is attending could tell me about the school. Pros/cons. What's nice about it there and what I need to know as a precaution maybe. Anything would be great. Thank you so much! Oh and talking about the appyling process would also be helpful. As in, what they're really looking for in an application and any hints, etc. And what sort of essay they want written. =D I'm a junior in high school. =D

The campus is in the middle of a city, so there is a lot of crime. Students don't go out at night alone, even the guys (unless they're stupid and trying to be macho). There have been several muggings in the area lately. Also traffic in that neighborhood is kind of a nightmare pretty much all the time- so a lot of people walk everywhere. That said- it's a BEAUTIFUL area, it's a terrific school, and there is a ton of fun things to do around, no matter what you're interested in. Are you from the Seattle area or are you from out of state?

Ha, I just got accepted there for fall quarter next year myself. You should definitely apply, It's a public ivy and is a good value if you're from in state. I think in their application process now they're starting to focus more on more on things like extracurricular activities in high school and important interests on you. Also, they're pretty big on diversity, and if your essay incorporates some of that in your life it should be a plus. there's this website, theu.com that has pretty a lot of videos and ratings about schools like UW, I found it pretty entertaining and informative enough. You should check that out. p.s. I think that it might be too late to apply for fall quarter next year if that was what you were plannin though
