I think it’s good that they prioritize in state students because UW is the only good school in Washington state so If UW is too popular among out of state students then it wouldn’t be fair for in state students. Other states have more competitive schools and so it’s more fair for them. If not everyone can get into UW but people want to attend a prestigious school in state there isn’t another option.
wow this is so helpful! thank you!! can I ask what the student environment is like? I want to go to a school where people love learning and aren’t going to crazy parties every weekend and I’m just wondering what UW is like. also, I too am mainly considering UW because of the beautiful library haha
You’re welcome! UW is by NO means a party school, so if that’s something you’re concerned about, don’t be! It’s super dead in terms of party life unless you actively seek it out and/or are involved in Greek Life (which in that case, you can find a party whenever you feel like going to one). There’s a lot of students here, so you’ll definitely find some group you vibe with, though, I’ll be honest, I haven’t made a lot of super close friends here. I recommend checking out the Student Activities Fair at the beginning of the year and looking at some RSOs (student clubs) you might be interested in joining! This school is very research-focused, so everyone here cares a lot about that. As for learning, well, it kinda depends on what major you’re in. Sometimes, with some of the really difficult STEM majors, it’s about passing rather than learning, but I don’t think that’s the students’ fault, but rather the way UW’s classes are designed (especially the prerequisite courses). Hopefully that was able to give you a bit more insight into what the school is like, and let me know if you have any more questions! Keep me updated on your college decision journey :)
so im from Miami and i fell in love with this school, but im applying for comp sci and the combination of me being out of state + comp sci being the most competitive major really scares me lmao :')
If it makes you feel better, a lot of people feel the same way, so always remember that you’re not alone! Also, there’s the possibility that you aren’t directly admitted to the Comp Sci major but are still admitted to UW, and in that case, you can always apply to the Comp Sci major again later! You got this, I believe in you! :)
hi I just got admitted to UW, but I’m out of state lol so I’m worried about the cost. Do you have any tips/ suggestions on helping pay for tuition. I didn’t really think I would be admitted since oos and my gpa was lower than average lol
Hey! First of all, congratulations for getting into UW! I am also an out of state student and cost was a huge downside of attending UW. I tried applying for in-state residency within my first week of being at UW, and the requirements seemed super impossible to complete (like they expected you to work a huge amount of hours AND be a full-time student???). Anyway, I’d suggest seeking sources of income, like a job or other side hustles (but don’t prioritize it over school). Personally, I’ve been selling a lot of stuff on Mercari, and I’ve been making a considerable amount of money (obviously not a pay for tuition, but it’s a start). Other than that, you can try to look for other scholarships or contact the Office of Financial Aid and see if they have any suggestions for you! Hope that helped! Let me know if you have any other questions :)
There’s a huge badminton community at UW! People play all the time in the IMA courts. You should join the badminton group here! Looks like tons of fun🥰👍🏼
Hey I love your videos and I want to go to UW too I was wondering if all majors are pretty competitive or just specific ones I really want to major in either biochemistry or engineering
Thank you so much! Welcome, future husky🥳Not all majors are competitive, but the main ones that are are definitely in the STEM field (or business). I would say the most difficult one to get into is computer science, but engineering and biology are also pretty competitive as well. Here’s a link that shows all the majors at UW and those that are capacity constraint are usually more competitive: www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/degree-overview/majors/list-of-undergraduate-majors/ Hope that helped!
This is my dream school. I dont want to get my hopes up too high but I'll be hoping praying to God everyday to get accepted into this university if yall could put in a little prayer for me I would appreciate I want this so bad 😞 but as always, if you expect disappointment you'll never be disappointed, I really hope I'll get in tho, only God knows how bad I want this
I totally get where you’re coming from. As a first-year student at UW, I can confirm that weed-out classes suck, but that’s because they’re meant to be extremely difficult! On the bright side, everyone’s in the same boat as you, and if you find yourself struggling, everyone else probably is too! Persevere through the challenges and it’ll pay off!
I wasn’t able to! I think it’s because I didn’t officially own my own place. I was just in 9 or 12 month leases, but now that I own my own place, I’m gonna try to apply for WA residency for my last year! I’ll keep you updated on how it goes!
@@jessicastarsinspace2563 I see, I hope by owning a place you don’t mean to buy an apartment, that will make it harder for me. But any update, put it here or reply to my comment please so I’ll be notified. 🙏🏼
Im a bit worried about the crime rate there that you mentioned… honestly, I’m from Canada and I don’t even live in the safest part of my own city so I don’t go out at night too. But does that part of Seattle feel fine in the day and everything? Also, are there bus stops etc nearby so I don’t have to walk far to take transit home ? I’m just thinking about a situation where I’m studying late at night and have to get home.
Hi! Your videos got me really interested in UW but I’m worried about whether my grades can get me into the university. I have a 3.5 weighted gpa and was in the badminton team for my 9th and 10th grade. I also did 2 years of community service in school (I couldn’t do anymore school community services since my school closed due to COVID) and other volunteer work outside of school (a non-profit organization and the union election committee in Myanmar to name a few). I took 3 AP classes last year where I scored a 3 in one subject and did not take the exam for the other two (my grades for all those AP classes were B and above at school). I am also currently taking 3 AP courses this year in my senior year. You mentioned that college essays are the most important part of college applications and so I’m hoping my grades won’t be the defining factor. Do you think I have a chance at getting admitted to the school?
I HAVE HAD THIS EXACT MENTALITY ALL THROUGHOUT COLLEGE😂😭💀 If I don’t know something, I just gotta hope for the best on the exams. That hope didn’t take me too far though since the exams were always tough regardless of what I thought I knew going into them lol
Hey Jessica, it’s Jimuel. Remember me, it’s been awhile? In the future, I would really like to collaborate in one of your videos! Hope your keeping well and you have some very cool content. Your videos are very entertained for me to watch!
Yes! I’ve been working on a video for the last month, and I just wanted to gather all of my result pictures before posting it, but it should be up soon! :)
It depends on what you plan on majoring in! For example, I had to take certain prerequisite classes my freshman year so I didn’t really have a choice on what classes I took. I will say, don’t overload yourself on too many classes from one area of study (e.g. don’t take all STEM classes or all English classes, etc). VLPA classes are usually fun to take if you wanted to do that your freshman year. Lmk if you have any more questions. Hope that helped!
Sadly no. I went to the office for that too (during my freshman year) and with the instructions they gave, it seemed impossible for me to get in-state tuition :/ I’m still trying to find ways to get in-state residency though and will let you know when I find something that works!
When you’re a rising sophomore and this is your first time seeing the inside of any building besides Paccar
Aw it’s okay😂😭 Hopefully this video got you excited to experience in-person classes this upcoming fall though!

Love your video! Btw, is there a badminton ground in UW? I really looking forward to continue my sports there ❤️

Thanks for this vid! Im an incoming freshman this fall
Awh you’re welcome!! Congratulations on committing to UW💜💛💜💛
So college Boxing does exist? That is awesome! I am a boxing junkie, it is a great sport to use your muscles.
So helpful. Only downside is the constant moving of the camera that made me dizzy.
Great tour and details. Were you able to apply for WA residency after first year being in Seattle? or it was still impossible?
I wasn’t able to! I think it’s because I didn’t officially own my own place. I was just in 9 or 12 month leases, but now that I own my own place, I’m gonna try to apply for WA residency for my last year! I’ll keep you updated on how it goes!

Dang I practically have 0 chance in getting in lol. I live in NC and really like this university but I guess I'll see what happens
Please give us an update if you get in.
UPDATE????????
Hi! Your videos got me really interested in UW but I’m worried about whether my grades can get me into the university. I have a 3.5 weighted gpa and was in the badminton team for my 9th and 10th grade.

Yes! You have a great chance of being admitted! I believe in you. Keep me updated on if you decide to apply :)
I never figured exactly how Kirchhoff's circuit laws worked. I would just hope that the problems on the exam weren't too difficult.
I HAVE HAD THIS EXACT MENTALITY ALL THROUGHOUT COLLEGE😂😭💀 If I don’t know something, I just gotta hope for the best on the exams. That hope didn’t take me too far though since the exams were always tough regardless of what I thought I knew going into them lol
Wow what a wonderful video
This video popped up in my recommendation out of nowhere and turns out I know you from phys. Hopefully all is well during quarantine!
Oh hey! Haha small world :) Hope you’re staying safe and healthy right now too!
Hey Jessica, it’s Jimuel. Remember me, it’s been awhile?
In the future, I would really like to collaborate in one of your videos!
Hope your keeping well and you have some very cool content. Your videos are very entertained for me to watch!
can you post your workout routine or boxing routine
Yes! I’ve been working on a video for the last month, and I just wanted to gather all of my result pictures before posting it, but it should be up soon! :)
What class to do you recommend taking your first year and which one to avoid
It depends on what you plan on majoring in! For example, I had to take certain prerequisite classes my freshman year so I didn’t really have a choice on what classes I took. I will say, don’t overload yourself on too many classes from one area of study (e.g. don’t take all STEM classes or all English classes, etc). VLPA classes are usually fun to take if you wanted to do that your freshman year. Lmk if you have any more questions. Hope that helped!
did you end up getting in-state residency? and do you have any tips on how to do it?
Sadly no. I went to the office for that too (during my freshman year) and with the instructions they gave, it seemed impossible for me to get in-state tuition :/ I’m still trying to find ways to get in-state residency though and will let you know when I find something that works!
hey, what're you planning to major in?
I’m double majoring in astronomy and physics!
Nice
