@DadTwoGirls My high school is one of the most prominent feeder schools into UW so I’d say it’s a safety school overall for me if not for the comp sci/engineering direct admit. As for Washington State, that’s not exactly a school I would want to attend mostly because of the environment and people who go there… but I might still apply for a practically guaranteed admit. I have looked at schools in Canada but most of them offer zero financial aid for international students so it wouldn’t be ideal.
