Pros and Cons of the University of Washington

[@alyssah5702]

in every uw video I watch they talk about how bad the weather is.... I’m from southeast alaska & we get double the rain per year Seattle does, sounds like a dream

[@JonFromWA]

Its foreigners outside of WA that bitch about the wet weather and they cant drive in it either. Cant stand snow? Dont come here then.

[@thecolorjune]

@@JonFromWA it rarely even snows in Seattle haha. It’s rainy if you’re a Californian but not compared to plenty of other states.

[@emazaxiix5177]

as a floridian that experiences lots of rain but not a lot of cold temperatures and snow, im still scared lol

[@jehugz]

@@emazaxiix5177 Seattle isn’t too bad with snow or coldness. Eastern Washington is COLD in the winter. The snoqualmie pass and the other passes through the cascades are where it’s bad.

[@davidromney4150]

I recommend buying your full-spectrum lighting (minimum 90 CRI!) before the winter, and getting twice as much as you need! If you turn your whole living room into a giant light therapy box, you won't need a light therapy box. The campus is famously beautiful! Seattle attracts a lot of intelligent people and a lot of liberals, which may turn off some people, but I like that. If you're sick, one of the best medical facilities in the world is on campus. The reputation and standing of the UW grows rapidly these days!

[@hermes-stanlvu4116]

that's any university, you're setting yourself up a lil more with the harder acceptance schools

[@wader7659]

Respectfully, most native Washingtonians don’t have problems with the weather. It’s pretty easy to tell who is a native and who isn’t by how they dress.

[@bbsara0146]

Thats so dumb that they wont let you into the major you want... What do they expect? That someone who has their heart set on engineering is going to be like "oh well, i guess i will just study english literature instead??" obviously that person is going to switch to another school that will provide them the engineering degree

[@equinox2584]

Engineering is different, you have to apply into that when you apply to the school to become an ENGRUD, which is undeclared engineering, then you have to apply into specific engineering majors. Most of the time when people complain it's because they don't get into their major when they get into the school, so they have to start just "pre-science" and then apply later, which has a sort of low acceptance rate. This mostly effects STEM majors, especially CS. Everyone who goes knowing they didn't get into their major, knows that the chances are not good later on.

[@bbsara0146]

@@equinox2584 everyone knows CS is the best major. if you dont get CS you should just go to a different school for CS.

[@equinox2584]

@@bbsara0146 I have a lot of friends who have gotten in to the CS program after the fact. It's not impossible, and honestly I think people overstate the difficulty a little bit. Getting in as a direct admit is only like a 25% chance anyway.

Capacity constrained majors 😫 I’m trying to get into informatics but am prepared to transfer to a UC if I don’t get in

[@OnTopFn]

Heyy I love your videos Its funny how I have the same question as most people but is computational finance and risk management a competitive program since it is a capacity constraint major but never really figured out how hard it is to get into it

[@jialiu4499]

Hey thank you for all the informations! Just got admitted by graduate school lol

[@TaylorQuynh]

That’s awesome, congratulations! Hope ya choose to go to UW :)

[@KakeKittyStyle]

Very helpful! Thank you!

[@eviannguyen7462]

do you know how competitive the public health-global health and lsj majors are?

[@TaylorQuynh]

I’m pretty sure both are capacity constrained majors technically, but I’ve never heard of people having problems getting into either. As long as you do well in classes and take time to write the application essays you should be good to go!

[@darianmullen2184]

public health / global health is incredibly competitive. The admissions team is not transparent about what they are looking for. My partner applied with a 3.9 gpa in her prerequisite courses and was denied admission, even with a letter of recommendation from a professor in the public health department. Good Luck! I chose biochemistry which is much easier to get in to.

[@jehugz]

@@darianmullen2184 I was wondering, have you heard how hard Astronomy is to get into? Is it a highly competitive Capacity Constrained Major or a less competitive one?

[@darianmullen2184]

@@jehugz i am pretty sure it is an open major

[@how2university]

This is such a helpful and informational video. Amazing job, Taylor! 🙌🏻 We love your content and would love to do some form of collab with you. We DM’ed if you’re interested!

[@graciel1852]

Do you know by chance how competitive the physics major is?

[@TaylorQuynh]

I’ve heard it’s moderately competitive but I’d probably consult the physics counselors

[@PhuongDang-ys5ls]

Do you know how competitive visual communication design major is?

[@TaylorQuynh]

To be completely honest I don’t know. It’s definitely not the most common major, and if it’s a small cohort, there’s a good chance it’s relatively competitive. From what I’ve heard, many of the art/design majors generally are competitive, but definitely take my word with a grain of salt

[@richppl_eater]

Do you know how competitive the neuroscience major is?

[@TaylorQuynh]

Just by word of mouth, people say it's a really competitive major. I don't actually know any numbers though, so I can't confirm how competitive it is.

[@atianahernandez7796]

Just wondering if you know how competitve the art major is?

[@lostsock1924]

From what I’ve heard it’s a less competitive major

[@Sendboi]

It’s funny hearing Californians say winters in a state are terrible because like every state has bad winters compared to California lol.

[@okayq]

helpful!

[@halkyles7728]

Easy to tell you're not a Washingtonian.

[@punktlig7354]

Honestly for the year I lived in Washington I was surprised at how little it rained. Like my wife and I expected a lot more after hearing of the rain and gloom. I think it rains more frequently and more heavily in Ohio then it did during our time in Washington.
