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

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 =)

It's probably a little competitive since it's ranked in top 100 ( somewhere in top 50, just left the website.)

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...

I have lived in Washington my entire life. The only thing i personally don't like is the weather it rains alot and it is always unexpected.But thats really the only bad thing!!!

With my grades and test scores could I get into University of Washington Seattle?
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.

From what I heard it is average. Best of luck!! Is the University of Washington Seattle the same as Seattle Pacific(such a thing?) or are they 2 separate colleges?

University of Washington. School of medicine. http://www.washington.edu It's one of the top universities in this country. It's inside Seattle. There's couple other universities in Washington state.

University of Washington School of Medicine Alumni here. We rated # SIX overall in the nation and # ONE for Primary Care Physicians. The only thing that some people might not like is the large class size. That makes it a bit easier to get in (supposedly), though U of W students do get some preference when applying for Medical School. It also means you need to be more competitive to get noticed when it's time to apply for a Residency.

Sara got it first lol and it is a fantastic university in a beautiful area with a great reputation. There is also Pima Medical Institute of Seattle In the Northwood area for medical assistants dental etc.
