<p>Anyone applying to the business school?
What do you think of my chances? I attend UW.</p>
<p>UW GPA 3.44
Pre-Req GPA 3.43 (Econ 200|3.7, Acctg 215|2.9, Engl 197|3.7, Math 124|AP)
WSA 4.00</p>
<p>I do have significant higher recent grades:
UW GPA: 2.60 --> 3.23 --> 3.30 --> 3.31 --> 3.44
Qtr GPA: 2.60 --> 3.79 --> 3.50 --> 3.34 --> 3.96</p>
<p>Economic and Educational Disadvantages: First generation college student, adjusting since my dad lost his job; now supports us on a part-time job, commute to school, parents emigrating to the U.S, learning the language in Kindergarten and changing from engineering pathway to business after one quarter.</p>
<p>Activities: Co-leader for youth group and altar server leader at my church</p>
<p>Stats from last two admission periods:</p>
<p>Winter12 Weight/Applicants/Admitted
Combined GPA 40%/3.41/3.50
WSA Score 35%/3.57/4.44
Pre-App GPA 25%/3.50/3.61</p>
<p>Fall'11 Weight/Applicants/Admitted
Combined GPA 40%/3.44/3.55<br>
WSA Score 35%/3.67/4.32<br>
Pre-App GPA 25%/3.38/3.62 </p>
<p>Since eligible applicants exceed the space available, acceptance is competitive. Admission is based on evaluation of four factors:
a) overall scholastic record
b) grades in pre-application courses, described below
c) written communication skills
d) evidence of leadership skills, community activities, and the promise of achievement in a business or professional career.</p>
<p>Consideration is also given to such factors as economic and educational disadvantage, significantly higher recent grades, and exceptional extracurricular activities or work experience. </p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
