<p>I’m working on my application right now and have a few questions…</p>
<li><p>When they ask for your higest overall SAT score, do they mean super-scored or just in one sitting?</p></li>
<li><p>How likely is it for them to request my transcripts? I’m OOS at a private college prep, if that makes any difference. </p></li>
<li><p>For the self-reported grades, they apparently want letter grades, but my school only gives us number grades. I converted them to the best of my knowledge, but I wasn’t sure if WA has a specific cut-off for determining a B+ vs a B, for example. Are they really picky about having it 100% exact? Or would I be okay just using common sense?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I really think you should call the admissions office. Your questions are legit, but it's hard for us to know bc of the uniqueness of your situation. It's better to get it straight from the source, especially with something as important as admissions. good luck!</p>
When they ask for your higest overall SAT score, do they mean super-scored or just in one sitting?

<p>unless the policy has recently changed, UW does not superscore. they only care about your highest sitting.</p>

<p>i think you can just put the numbers in there. i think you can have three characters, right? i cant remember because i did my app during the summer. but if i were you, i would put the numbers in, because thats how your school does it.</p>
<p>UW asks for a FINAL transcript only. And if they don't get it, you can't register for classes. They may request a transcript during the app process from some students, but as a rule, they don't.</p>
