[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will note - the research dollars aren’t for the undergrads obviously. And almost nobody is getting those internships, girl. Those are for the serious software engineers. [/quote]
The internships are in other fields as well -  not only STEM majors.  My DC is at a different west coast public and landed a high-paying summer internship at a major tech company in their global marketing department.

According to DC, UW is to California students what Wisconsin is to east coast students. There are a lot of CA students at UW who couldn't get into the top UCs.  UW is a solid choice for a lot of majors.  [/quote]
Wisconsin?  This is really an odd comparison, I think, because I think verrrrry few East Coasters think about Wisconsin, unless they have other family or friends there?  How did you randomly pull this out if a hat to say UW is to CA students what WI is to East Coast students.  Sounds like CA students think about UW MORE (as a solid alternative for a lot of majors, as an alternative to UC schools) than East Coasters think about Wisconsin (zero, or very close to it?).

Wisconsin is a respectable state school that you have a chance of getting into if you are a good student who did not get into UVA/UMD. It has always drawn heavily for that type of student.  [/quote]
Yeah, it's a great comparison. It's obviously not the only great comparison--there are big pipelines from the DMV to Michigan, IU, and Delaware, too. Similarly, California kids also matriculate in large numbers to Oregon, Arizona, ASU, Colorado, and Utah...[/quote]
