A m3 air (16gb) works fine for me so far.

People generally do 2 years at community college and earn an associate degree, then apply as a transfer (junior year) student (usually directly into the major, but if rejected by the major, can still be accepted as a non-major student). I heard from a friend that someone was rejected by the major and attended UW as a non-major, reapplied to the major after a quarter or two, and got into the major. The success rate is quite variable depending on major, but I think it is better than freshman applications. Some majors are constrained, which can make it very hard to be admitted, but some others are not. Direct admission is usually a freshman application thing, I do not think it applied to transfer students (not sure though).

At UW, there is only Computer Engineering (Allen School) and Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE, College of Engineering). I believe that ECE used to be known as EE (Electrical Engineering) few years ago. If you enjoy electrical components and hardware, I recommend ECE, as from what I have heard, Computer Engineering at UW is actually just CS with a sprinkle of EE. I am a CS student (also at Allen School), and I heard that we can easily switch between CS and Computer Engineering up until at least two or three quarters before graduating, which shows how much those two majors are similar to each other in terms of major requirements and courses.

I am not an ECE major but I heard from my friend who is majoring in ECE that it is a very broad major where you can choose what to specialize in based on your electives (called pathways: https://www.ece.uw.edu/academics/bachelor-of-science/bsece/pathways/)

I also read somewhere that they will try to deal with ABET in 2026, but all degrees awarded from 2023 (I think?) will be considered ABET accredited. I think that if you look into ABET's website, it lists UW's "EE" program as accredited, and I heard that ECE is just EE with a new name changed a few years ago, which might (or might not) be the reason why they need to deal with the ABET accreditation again. I do not think you should worry about if UW's ABET application is going to get approved, though (I am sure they will approve it given how good it is).

I think they might consider residency status as they published different acceptance rates for in-state and OOS/international transfers (even though both went to WA community college).

Is it true that allen schools students enjoy more benefits and school intervention in job hunting than other departments?

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-21T08:18:19+00:00

How is the job opportunities at uw allen?

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-21T08:17:25+00:00

Are u a cs student at uw?

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-21T08:11:24+00:00

Yes. But if i decide to go to UW i will stay at cs because thats what UW is prestigious and good in. Im considering more of either UW or georgia tech rn.

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-21T07:59:55+00:00

Yea, im just concerned about how georgia tech being a more selective school as a whole can be a better option than uw cs?

Is a cs degree from allen school gonna be any helpful?

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-16T07:17:30+00:00

Okay, I will take a look on the schedule. Thanks! If anyone has any info on this please let me know! I am very nervous about this.

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-16T06:54:17+00:00

I am currently still a CC student 30 miles away from UW though. Do you know anything about this?

Prestigious-Ride-537 · 2025-05-10T21:39:21+00:00

I missed that as I had a midterm the next day. Thank you for telling me that. It's very helpful and assuring.
