If I remember that right. It is not that easy to get into the state school in our state. UW engineering departments required GPA 4.0 last year. Kids who had GPA 3.9 or less had 0 chances getting into the UW engineering schools.

That is probably not true if you are transferring from a community college after two years. It's entering as a freshman direct from high school that has all the barriers.

Thank you! Interesting. I didn't know that. Do you have any information on why that is?
