Direct Admit to CS

Both Washington and UIUC may admit students to the school, but not the CS major. If that happens to you, and you enroll, you will have to face a highly competitive secondary admission process to enter the major. Direct admission to the CS major at either school should generally be considered a reach for everyone. Do not use the general admission stats to assess reach/match/safety for direct admission to the CS major at these schools.

According to http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/freshman-admission-matrix.pdf , all UCs except UCSC may give direct admission to the CS major (for UCB, this only applies to EECS; direct admission to L&S CS is not possible). CSUs also admit by major.
