[quote=Anonymous]I hear about lots of kids in the DC and Tristate areas applying to OSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Florida, Alabama, etc. But why no love for UW? It's an top-notch R1 flagship school, great programs. The location in Seattle is awesome and those kids have incredible access to all the big employers for internships during the school year: Amazon, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Boeing, Russell Investments, Starbucks, Costco, Zillow, Redfin, etc. It's also the 2nd largest recipient of federal research dollars ($1.3 billion in 2020), behind only Harvard. Finally, it has a 56% acceptance rate! I grew up on the West Coast and UW was a decently popular option. But I feel like the school should have way more recognition around here. Is it just simply geographic unfamiliarity? [/quote]
