UW Admissions Rate?

Hi! I'm currently looking into the University of Washington as a potential college. Does anyone have information on the overall admissions rate? I'm trying to gauge my chances of getting in. Appreciate any help!

Hi there! The University of Washington (UW) is a great school to consider. The admissions rate can vary by year, but the most recent data shows that UW has an overall acceptance rate of 42.8%. It's important to keep in mind that the acceptance rate is usually slightly lower for out-of-state applicants, and can be significantly lower for certain, especially well-regarded majors, such as computer science.

To estimate your personal chances of getting in, consider checking out CollegeVine's free chancing engine, which accounts for your course rigor, GPA, test scores (if you have them, as UW is currently test-optional), and extracurricular activities to give you personalized odds of acceptance based on how well your profile aligns with that of the average accepted student at UW: https://www.collegevine.com/admissions-calculator. The engine can also give you tips on how to boost your odds, for example by enrolling in more difficult courses senior year or achieving a leadership position in one of your extracurriculars.

Ensure that you present both your academic rigor and your extracurricular activities well in your application, to highlight your strengths and showcase how you'll contribute to the UW community. Good luck!
