[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS was admitted three years ago from FCPS.  Did not attend but did visit.  I’d highly encourage a visit before attending.

Was there something about the visit that turned your DS off?  [/quote]

PP here.  It is very difficult to get into UW from OOS so if you do get in, you should be proud.  My family member is a guidance counselor there so she told me before it was a difficult admission for STEM OOS.  My DS loved the campus and especially the library. It actually poured rain while we were there but it’s beautiful there.

He eventually opted not to go there despite the amazing opportunities and companies there for post grad because the size of the school and the more competitive it is to get the opportunities the school has to offer. A lot of the kids that went there went home a lot and parents lived within 40 min. The distance was a factor but ultimately my DS decided the city vibe wasn’t for him. My DS ended up at a smaller medium sized school and it has been the right decision and a better fit. [/quote]

Certain majors are difficult (CS in particular since they only take 5% OOS so like 50 kids)…but overall it isn’t difficult to get accepted.[/quote]
