Hi! I am a white female from MA (though I recently moved from VA before junior year)
UW GPA: 3.72 (the reason for this is below)
ACT: 33
Applying as a Classical Studies major.
Senior Year:

Honors Physics
Spanish 3
- Team USA Athlete (10/11/12)
- 6th at Junior World Championships (11)
- 3rd at Leon Lurje in France (11)
- 2nd at French Cup in Sweden (11)
- DREAM Program Athlete Ambassador (11/12)
- Member of Dreamfar (12)
- Skating Instructor (11/12)
- Varsity Cross-Country (10th)
My GPA is low because I had an untraditional high school experience in which I home-schooled my freshman year so that I could skate, I went to public school for the first time in my life sophomore year, and then I moved to MA for my junior year. In addition, I was in the hospital for 2 months during the end of term 3 because of an illness that I got overseas, and out for an additional 2 weeks at the end of term 2 because of international competitions.
So far this year has been really good and since I’m not at a new school this year, I have gotten used to both the environment and the people and as a result I have gotten straight A’s so far!
I’m asking because I’m not sure if my ECs or special circumstances will help my chances.
