Budget cuts means fewer Wash. students get into UW
State budget cuts means it's tougher than ever for Washington residents to get into the University Washington.
University officials say they've had to cut the number of in-state students they admit to the Seattle campus this fall. Meanwhile, they're letting in more out-of-state and international students who pay nearly three times as much in tuition and fees.
"When the decision was made, it was not a happy one," UW admissions director Philip Ballinger told The Seattle Times.
