[quote=Anonymous]My brother got degrees there in engineering, and in relevant specialties it really is up there. I was of two minds about it growing up in WA. There were some strong programs there, but it was also a university that let in so many much worse students than me, so I wanted to look down on it. I didn't go there. Sometimes I say that if I had done the right specialties I would have had a very elite experience there. Anyway, my life would have turned out quite differently. The prior poster brings up something I've thought about as well. My son is interested. He is a great student. But if he isn't able to get into the harder programs due to numbers of seats, isn't he just going to Big Box University? I don't want a kid who is working really hard to gain human capital for a future career to end up with nothing more to show for it than kids who got Cs in high school and a 1200 on the SAT. That's my worry. Or at least one of them.[/quote]
