Do I have any shot of getting into University of Washington from out of state?
I've always dreamed of attending University of Washington, I just absolutely love the Seattle area. My family lived in Washington for only about two years while I was in college in Utah, so I only went out there twice during that time. I know they give very heavy preference to people from Washington, then to people who attended college there, etc. Is it even worth paying the couple hundred bucks to apply there given that I am out of state? Do I have any chance? Stats below
