Acceptance rate is different every year. Usually about 100 students are admitted, and about 30-40 students commit to UW CSE. This is out of around 1,500+ students who list their intended major as CS or CE and then got into UW. From the past few years, it’s around 5% - 8% acceptance rate. This is from our open house a few months ago. Back when I was admitted, there were 1,100 qualified applicants, 70 were offered admission, and 32 of us accepted.

I’m not sure about the class averages, but the unweighted GPA is usually 3.85+, SAT at least 2200+, and ACT is comparable to the SAT score. Extra curricular activities vary – some have done programming in the past (including internships), some did sports, leadership positions, debate, etc. Every class has a diverse background.

Note that past experience in computer science/programming is NOT required. We always have a number of students who have never, ever programmed before who are offered direct admit. The admissions committee knows not all schools offer CS classes, students may have to work several jobs, etc. They look for strong math/physics/English backgrounds and potential to excel in the department.
