<p>I'm a sophomore in high school. My weighted GPA for this year is like, 3.1. I know it's awful. I'm trying as hard as I can and I'm studying my ass off for finals. My grades are improving, but there's not enough time left in the year for it to really improve my GPA, but of course I'll try.</p>

<p>Here are my extracurriculars:</p>

<p>2 years of volleyball and lacrosse (for school. I play on doing it all 4 years)
2 years of a Cappella (all 4 years)
Model UN delegate (just joined this year and I want to continue)
BBYO (Jewish youth group. I've done it since 8th grade and I currently hold a board position and continue to do so until I graduate).
Club volleyball freshman year</p>

<p>I didn't have any honors classes freshman year, I'm in honors chem and honors Spanish III now, and I'm taking AP Spanish next year.</p>

<p>I haven't taken the SAT or ACT yet, but I plan on doing so next year. </p>

<p>I know GPA is of course the most important thing. I'm working hard and I plan to have a higher one next year.</p>

<p>I also go to a small, all-girls private school, if that helps. Both of my uncles went to UW-Madison.</p>

<p>Can I get in here?</p>

<p>P.S. I live in Ohio, so I'm not in-state. Money isn't an issue for my family ($300,000 per year, but it depends), but I know UW-Madison won't let me pay my way into admission.</p>

<p>Gpa’s of incoming freshman at UW-Madison: </p>

<p>3.0-3.24: 1%
3.25-3.49: 4%
3.5-3.74: 18%
3.5+: 76+</p>

<p>You’re only a sophomore, so you’ve got plenty of time to get you gpa up, but as of now the chances are very slim.</p>

<p>Why UWI for undergrad? If you realize you need grad school, you may start at Ohio State (or some other school) for undergrad and then try UWI for grad school.</p>

<p>I know I can go to OSU, as it’s a great school. I just really want to get out of Ohio.</p>
