[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited and my DS loved it — pretty campus set in a great city, with public transportation making things easily accessible.
He ended up not applying because he is set on being a math major, but UW requires ‘application’ into that major after freshman year, and admittance was very low. He didn’t want to take the chance that he wouldn’t get into the math major. Not sure if other majors are like that, or how your kid feels about a major, but that was what stopped my kid from applying.

I wonder why they have that system. It doesn't benefit anyone and drives a ton of people away.[/quote]

It’s a HUGE school. They couldn’t care less if some people are driven away. Seriously, it’s giant and can’t keep up with demand.[/quote]
I guess it makes sense; but then you have schools like UT, Berkeley, hell UVA that seem to have figured it out with the same amount. A&M is massive and 1/4 of students are engineers and they’re expanding the program even further.[/quote]

I guess maybe they have room. This school is in the middle of a major city. It’s not the major driving force.[/quote]
UT nearly touches the state capitol in a downtown tech hub. I think Washington just has a bad major declaration process. It'd cost them little to move to the standard system where you apply to the major you will be at admissions.[/quote]
