      Hi, I'm a high school Junior interested in pursuing a career in the medical field. A recruiter from the Bothel campus came to my school and told me there is no difference in the quality of education that I would get at their campus as opposed to Seattle but I'm not sure about that. Is it true? Or is the Seattle campus better at preparing a student for Medical School? Thanks.

        Hi Oleksiy. I'm currently a student at UW-Seattle. I can't say anything about the Bothell campus because I've never gone there. However, I can tell you that there are plenty of great opportunities here at the Seattle campus. For example, if you're interested in doing research in the medical field in the future, the Seattle campus has a ton of research opportunities.

      Hi, I am a Running Start who, do to extenuating circumstances, will be taking a 'NC' (No Credit) in one of my classes. I was wondering what influence this will have on my admission to the University of Washington as well as how this will affect my G.P.A. calculation. Thank you!

      Hi, i had a 3.6 GPA overall up until the beginning of my junior year. In my junior year, the first semester i received a 3.2. This semester i'm definitely not letting myself get a 3.2 and the lowest i will let myself go is 3.5. My question is how much will this affect me in the application process? I have tons of extracurricular activities. Thanks!
