    Hi! Getting into CS intro classes isn't too hard because the classes are pretty big However, getting into the major is quite competitive. It is not impossible, but you would have to do super well inside and outside the classroom. This is because UW changed CS to be majority direct admits. Good luck though, I believe in you! I hope this helps.

    @@shine_simoneNo problem! I was able to ask a few upperclassmen who is in CS and here's what they have to say. Projects: Work on personal projects that you find interesting! You can find a lot of examples, and a lot of people like to post their public repositories. I personally believe that building web applications is a great way to get started. There are a lot of guides and examples across the web and tons of API's that allow you to accomplish almost anything. Working with a group can be really good as well, and can help you understand the workflow for software engineers in the professional world. Projects are great for students in their first/second year of college and can add a lot of value and character to your resume. Hackathons are a great place to get started on projects and learn about many other projects. For UW, Dubhacks is a hackathon where you get to meet a bunch of other students, industry mentors, and recruiters while making interesting projects. RSO: There are a handful of organizations on campus that can help you get involved in CS. There are engineering fraternities, as well as organizations within the CS department. Being in a group of like-minded students allows you to get your hands on resources much more easily. Research: If you really enjoy a particular class, reach out to the professor and the TA's about research opportunities. Research can vary depending on what subfield of computer science you go into, but it is mainly focused on pushing the boundaries on what is possible in the tech field today. The best way to get involved is find a grad student who is working on a project that you find interesting, and reach out to them. Internships: Internships are the stepping stones to get a full-time job in the software engineering industry. If you are able to build up your resume thorugh personal projects, working within groups, or doing research, you won't have too much trouble securing interviews for internships. Most companies only look for interns that are juniors, but it isn't uncommon for sophomores to find internships too. Most internships opportunities are over the summer, but there are a handful of companies that do part-time throughout the school year.

    This was pretty neat! For any students looking for a way to get plugged in this year, check out the Summer LIFT program by A2F! @t

    Would it be a problem if you can’t drive? I’m going to be an exchange student for a year so I won’t have a car and I wondered if that will make things difficult for me :)

    Jess I don’t think it’ll be a problem since Seattle has vast transportation networks, you’ll always have a way of getting around:)

    Hi Jess! Most students don't have a car like myself and its pretty convenient either to take the bus/public transportation if you want to go downtown! I mostly walk around campus though :)
