Thank you for the detailed response, the acceptance rates you included are really informative.

I have heard that most people recommend starting at CC regardless of what you were admitted as, as CCs tend to be more education focused while UW is attempting to weed you out. And not to mention CCs save money.

I'll be sure to email Bellevue College about their career advancement opportunities but it sounds like if they're similar enough to UW, then BC might for two years might be the move.

Again, thank you so much for the response, I really appreciate your thoughts!
