Is UW a graduate-centered school?

I have several friends that go to UW (undergrad) and one who just graduated from their M.Ed program. From what I’ve heard, it’s a big issue there - but even in the graduate programs, meaningful professor contact can be hard to come by. For undergrads, it’s even more difficult due to the size of the school. It may be different in the honors program, though - I would contact an admissions counselor with your concerns and see if they can offer you any reassurance.

Where else are you applying? If good relationships with your professors and undergrad research opportunities are important to you, there are better options out there.

Also - I saw on one of your other threads that you may be accepted to ASU’s honors college! My friend who graduated from UW’s M. Ed program went to Barrett. He was a National Merit Scholar and was accepted to several schools, but ended up at Barrett for financial reasons, and absolutely LOVED it (double majored in religious studies and history). He’s an incredibly smart, intellectual guy, and if I wasn’t dead set on going to school in CA, his great experience would have convinced me to apply there.
