<li>GPA has nothing to do with level of competitiveness, especially with gpa creep</li>
<li>UC Davis is a great school with a great campus and community life to boot, dismissing it for UW is silly IMO</li>
<li>I could be wrong, but I believe UW has some weird admissions program where you don’t qualify for the engineering program until 2 years into your studies. Thus, you aren’t guarenteed you’ll be accepted as a CS major</li>
<li>Cal Poly SLO is awesome</li>
