UW grad here. I had friends who went to UW with me (about 10 years ago) specifically for computer science, and then literally couldn't get into the program because it was so competitive.

So. Just because you go to the state's "good" computer science school doesn't mean you'll get into the program.

Go to WSU. See if you like the program. If not, try to transfer. Either way, make sure you take advantage of any internships, etc. In my experience, they're the best pathway to a career after college, regardless of the field.

Exactly this happened to me. UW is great, but if you don't have a 4.0 in all your math classes up through calculus, forget about comp science there. My roommate got a degree in electrical engineering and landed a job at T-mobile though, so there's always options. Go Dawgs!
