<p>This is true for UW as a whole, but UW CSE has gotten pretty selective in recent years (you have to apply for the program separately). If you don’t get into UW CSE through the [“Direct</a> Admit” process](<a href=“http://www.cs.washington.edu/prospective_students/undergrad/admissions/direct_admission/"]"Direct”>http://www.cs.washington.edu/prospective_students/undergrad/admissions/direct_admission/), then you have to take a gamble and see if you’ll get in later on, which can be sort of risky if you’re dead set on doing CS.</p>
<p>That aside, Seattle’s a great place and the department rocks, too. If you have any questions, let me know.</p>
