Do you think I have a good chance of getting into Burnett Honors College?
@prettygms Sorry for the late reply, but yeah I had four teacher recommendations. Well to be exact, two were teachers I had in the past year and two were teachers from middle school who live next to me (close family friends who happened to be my teachers lol). I think those teacher recs helped me out; your SAT isn’t too far from mine, so I still think you have a chance. Your UW GPA is amazing, but I took all honors classes along with my AP classes. I’m not completely sure if those honors classes helped my chance of getting in, but your GPA definitely balances out your SAT. I applied the day the app came out, so I would say apply as soon as you have a chance before slots get taken up.
