<p>They haven’t released any official information for the new SAT, but on the old 1600 scale, the average SAT score was a 1399 for admitted honors students. You can find more info at <a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/prospective/whoapply.html[/url]”>http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/prospective/whoapply.html&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>UW is extremely stingy with scholarship money, even more so for out-of-state students. Info on honors scholarships is available at <a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/current/scholarships/index.html#freshmen[/url]”>http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/current/scholarships/index.html#freshmen&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p>As for scholarships for incoming freshmen, you can find some at <a href=“http://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar/students/incoming/index.shtml[/url]”>http://www.washington.edu/students/ugrad/scholar/students/incoming/index.shtml&lt;/a&gt;. More info for scholarships based on your freshman application can be found at <a href=“http://depts.washington.edu/specserv/scholarships/[/url]”>http://depts.washington.edu/specserv/scholarships/&lt;/a&gt;. Most of them will be given through different colleges and departments depending on what major you select on your freshman application.</p>

<p>If you have certain majors in mind, I’d suggest going ahead and putting those down as potential majors (as opposed to putting “undecided”). You’ll have a better shot at getting scholarships that way.</p>

<p>If you’re really looking for scholarships, I’d encourage you to apply for as many from outside as possible. Good luck!</p>
