Be aware that, at Washington, if you are not directly admitted to the CS major as a freshman, it is very competitive to declare the CS major later. Ask on the Washington forum for more.

Berkeley and Stanford do have the “proximity to Silicon Valley” advantage. Small companies often do not have the time or resources to send recruiters all over the country (unlike GAFM).
