    Probably just an overall shitty experience, it's easy to have an idea of what college is like from movies and such, and to have an entirely different experience in person.... Speaking from experience

    The athlete experience and Joe Shmoe Gee experience are two entirely different things.

    If his step brother wasn't an athlete, it's hard to see how he could feel slighted by UW outside of weather and attending while Ty was Coach. At least enough to not pull for the home team.

    My wife and I are both alums and brought up both daughters to be Husky fanatics. My older daughter was rejected by the UW outright, she wasn’t even waitlisted. She had the academic numbers so it had to be she was the wrong demographic or her designated major was extremely competitive. So she took a full ride offer from another university. Because of that, my youngest daughter didn’t even bother to apply to UW. Not because she wouldn’t have been accepted (her numbers were better) but out of spite. TBH, I feel a bit spiteful as well and now make all my donations to their school, not UW. It doesn’t take much to sour an entire family on a business, school, product, etc.
    What major was she hoping for?

    She listed Communications on the application.

    They probably rejected her for actually wanting to major in communications.
    It was a placeholder selection but, point taken.
