University of Washington Acceptance Rate by Major?

Hey peeps! I'm thinking of applying to the University of Washington and I heard that the acceptance rates can vary by major. Does anyone know anything about this or where I can find more info? Thanks in advance!

Hey there! Yes, acceptance rates at the University of Washington (UW) can indeed vary by major, especially since some majors are categorized as Competitive Majors. UW admits students directly into their majors, and the admission rates for some majors tend to be more competitive due to student interest, available resources, and limited capacity.

Some of the more competitive majors at UW include Computer Science, Engineering, Business, and some of the Health Sciences programs. The exact acceptance rate for each major isn't readily available, but you can get an idea of the competitiveness by looking at the department websites or reaching out to the specific department for more information. Keep in mind that applying to a less competitive major might not guarantee admission to a more competitive major later on.

One resource you can use is UW's website for prospective students (https://admit.washington.edu/). It provides information regarding admission to various majors and may give you some insight into the competitiveness and prerequisites for each major.

Another option is to contact the UW Admissions Office (https://admit.washington.edu/contact/). They could provide valuable information on acceptance rates based on the major you're interested in, as well as help you navigate the application process.

Good luck with your college application, and I hope this information is helpful as you prepare to apply to the University of Washington!
