It usually depends on majors but CS usually get placements before or in their final year.

Prestige.

There are a lot of successful students graduating from UW. As for my specific field, we are visited by the Seattle Opera, various local art museums, other schools, and big companies like Google or Amazon. I will not pretend to know statistics, but there's a reason UW is funding its computer science program so much.

The first thing I thought about when choosing a college was its marching band. In high school, I was a member of a core-style marching band. Every year we would spend weeks before school started at band camp to pour our efforts into a unique performance. We competed with other high schools and had tons of fun. Marching band was the highlight of my high school career, and I knew I had to keep being involved. The UW stood out to me for this reason. On top of its great location and academic prowess, it has one of the most entertaining college bands in the country. I applied for 3 other schools in Washington, but I knew this was my first choice. Luckily, my high school prepared me well for the application process and I was not worried. With a 3.8 GPA and AP test scores, I was sure to be accepted. Getting into the UW was exciting because I knew I would continue to pursue my musical interests as well as my academic ones.

The placement job opportunities are outstanding. This college is very highly renowned and it is very easy to get a job in your field. Most students are hired directly out of their internships, it is a growing field and very high in demand.

It is a very highly respected college. My parents always wanted me to go to this college, and it is close to home. People who go to this college are able to obtain employment easily because they tend to be highly educated.

UW has a fairly comprehensive career advising center, so it's very helpful to have that. There are also frequent internship and career fairs held on campus where employers come and recruit students from campus for different positions that they have that are open.

Because I got in. Originally, I had planned to transfer to Western Washington University. However, after a campus visit to UW, I was in love (like many) with the campus and decided I at least wanted to apply. After hearing back, I decided I wanted to give it a shot.
