<p>Right now I'm a running start student at HCC and am hoping to get accepted into UW chemical engineering program. </p>
<p>Here's some things about me:</p>
<p>High-school GPA(Freshman&Sophmore):3.8
Community College Class GPAs:
Eng 101: 4.0
Poly Sci 202: 4.0
Communication 101: 4.0
Math 141: 3.9
Eng 205: 4.0
Chem 161: 4.0
This quarter(95% certain these will be the grades)
Calc 1: 4.0 honors
Chem 162: 4.0
Physics 139: 4.0
My extra curriculars are fairly weak however. Its basically just church activities with the youth every week. Do you guys have any recommendations on what I can add here? </p>
<p>Also, I wont be graduating from high school but from Highline with a AS degree where it accounts to same as a GED. </p>
<p>Finaly, ChemE admission is only in the spring so I am still not sure how my schedule fits into this. Is there a way I can talk to someone at the advising office in UW on how to properly fix my schedule?</p>
<p>You are doing outstanding in terms of grades! You haven’t listed your 9th & 10th grade courses: keep in mind that UW also has College Academic Distribution requirements for admission: [College</a> Academic Distribution Requirements (CADR) | University of Washington](<a href=“http://admit.washington.edu/Admission/Freshmen/CADR]College”>http://admit.washington.edu/Admission/Freshmen/CADR).</p>
<p>You might want to contact ChemE advising regarding admission to that department: [UW</a> Chemical Engineering - Advising in the Department | <a href=“http://www.cheme.washington.edu%5B/url%5D”>www.cheme.washington.edu](<a href=“http://www.cheme.washington.edu/undergraduate_students/prosp_ug/advising.html]UW”>http://www.cheme.washington.edu/undergraduate_students/prosp_ug/advising.html)</a>.</p>
<p>Your grades are amazing! Have you taken the SAT or ACT yet? UW doesn’t require SAT subject tests (I don’t think) but the chemistry subject test might help you for the ChemE department. </p>
<p>For extracurriculars, what’s important is that you do activities you truly enjoy and care about, so that you can write about them well. UW’s application asks for a 200-word description for each of 5 extracurricular activities. Any activity related to math or science would be good. If your high school has a math club or science bowl team, you should join that.</p>
<p>Kickstand, one other thing: UW doesn’t actually care if you graduate from high school or receive a GED. Most selective colleges and universities happily accept high school dropouts as long as they have satisfied the academic distribution requirements, and have the grades, test scores, essays and extra curriculars they are looking for. My DS was recently admitted to UW from 10th grade, for example.</p>
