And as for the UW, yeah the location is neat but as noted the program is more bio oriented. Not bad mind you, but not in the area where Kaylee would like to do research. And yes I know about the "ask and ye shall receive" doctrine but when a competing university offers a better deal right off the bat with a good research program in the areas that Kaylee wants to do research in...well, the UW lost on this decision.

Need to turn in an application two months late? Well, ask the right people, and you will find that there is a way to do that. Need to have 60 credits of hard science show up as UW courses? Ask the right departments and that can happen to. Need to get money to realistically consider an option? Ask, and that just might happen too. Of course, as you said, the UW leans more in the biological direction (ie, biomaterials over pure material science) but its hard to beat the location (football team sucks though).
