[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: thanks, everyone. This is so helpful!

My kid is pre-health and keeping an open mind as to what that looks like (pre-med, pre-PA, BSN). So possible majors are biology, public health, BSN. To the PP offering to ask their student at Washington, are any of these particularly competitive to be accepted to?

We already have a family vacation planned in June that goes through Seattle so we will visit. And she will have a chance to see how she feels about the homeless/safety issues. Our area’s shelter is a block or so away from her school, and she’s traveled often to many major cities, so she’s no stranger to seeing homelessness.

Sincerely appreciate all these insights! :)[/quote]

My kid who is there is Chemical Engineering but leaning towards a biomedical slant so will know about those.  Additionally, one of my younger children is applying biochemistry with a pre-health - maybe pre-med or maybe more medical research?

Okay - child says:
 - One of their friends is in Biology - very chill to get into like 90-95% acceptance rate
 - Nursing is harder but not terrible but definitely need to get decent grades first year.
- Public Health and Biochem aren't hard "as long as you don't fail out freshmen year".

I have heard that nursing at most schools is competitive these days - need As and Bs.

Also, we live in DC and my kids have grown up roaming the city on their own.  They say Seattle feels safer then DC though the homeless can sometimes have a more unhinged edge :)  Also, if you haven't been to visit - the geography of the city makes the University area feel somewhat protected.  I have been there many times and love it - so many cool neighborhoods and the trees and gardens are beautiful.  Good luck.[/quote]
