Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>im an out of state student applying as an undergrad for university of washington seattle this year. around what SAT do i need to get as an out of state so that it is good enough for UW.
is 2040 a good SAT score for UW if im an oos? </p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>considering the 75th percentile of incoming freshmen @ UW is 1950, i’d say you have a great shot</p>

<p>Depends, what is your GPA and the difficulty of your courseload? Assuming, your other stats match up, a 2050 will be good enough for UW.</p>

<p>theradtomato47 has it.</p>

<p>SAT scores don’t matter if your other stats are really bad/good. For example, if you have 2040 SAT but with 1.0 GPA (dramatic), then it will be very hard for you to get into UW. On the other hand, 1900 SAT with 4.0 GPA (unweighted) will give you a high chance since the SAT/GPA balances out.</p>

<p>Also, remember that essays and ECs count! =)</p>

<p>my weighted gpa is 4.05 and unweighted is 3.68 with 8 AP classes/8honors ive nevr taken normal classes. and i go to a public that ranks in the top 150 public school in america so its pretty competitive.</p>

<p>Do competitiveness really count that much? Then I guess I’m above 99% of the students in America =P</p>

<p>silly side note aside, GPA seems to be corresponding with your SAT scores, so you should be fine with that. What I’m more curious about is the ECs. You have to show them who you are, not just based on those scores =)</p>

<p>Range SAT Critical Reading 530-650
Range SAT Math 560-670
Range SAT Writing 520-630</p>

<p>Range total SAT 1610-1950</p>

<p>Average GPA for incoming freshmen - 3.69</p>

<p>Your GPA & SAT’s exceed the 75th percentile, definitely in</p>

<p>carmondd: it was just some sarcasm to make myself happy w/ my crappy GPA ^^*</p>

<p>Sports everyone has.</p>

<p>But those other ECs make you stand out SO MUCH compared to other applicants.</p>

<p>I can explain this in two words, or one.</p>

<p>Two: Holy $H!T
