The following link has general information about majors and “pre-majors”:
https://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/degree-overview/majors/
"Pre-Major (pre-science, pre-humanities, etc)
“The vast majority of students enter UW as a pre-major (this includes pre-science, pre-humanities, etc.) This status simply means a student has not yet declared a major at UW. The type of pre-major a student is coded as correlates to what that student put on their UW application but does not impact a student’s choice of major later.”
The following link has information about specific majors and minors:
http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/degree-overview/majors/list-of-undergraduate-majors/
Clicking a major will take you to the UW General Catalog. Click “Undergraduate Program” on the right side of the screen for more information about admission pathways (including whether the major is one of the few with a freshman direct admission pathway) and prerequisites for admission to the major.
Congratulations, and good luck!

The only trend I can see is that they weigh GPA much more highly than test scores. There are people with some pretty good test scores getting waitlisted or rejected, but those with higher GPAs were admitted.
Congrats to all who were admitted!
