Transfer from Bellevue College here, I got into the UW for Autumn 2014. Transfers generally take two years to get their transfer associates. Although it is better to take as many classes that contribute towards your intended major as preparation for you major seems to be the biggest admission factor for they uw; they want you to at least have all the prerequisites done before you transfer. Personally, because I did poorly in high school, I stuck around for about three years. While that’s generally no fun, I managed to save a lot of money and get more than my prereqs down.

If you are going for a major in business, then the Associates in Business is most likely for you (you can also do a degree audit once you are a student at BC):

Unlike other schools, to the UW, the direct transfer agreement does not guarantee admission, it only means that you will be a Junior when accepted. However, those with 90 or more credits and/or an associates DTA will be given priority.

With grades, the average transfer GPA is about a 3.49 compared to the 3.75 for freshmen applicants. I got in with an unimpressive 3.4 with 95 credits, but I had all my prereqs and more done along with my transfer degree.
