<p>HOOKS:</p>
<p>I am of Hispanic descent.</p>
<p>I will not be applying for financial aid.</p>
<p>Just so you know, UW doesn’t take Letters of Rec.
Also it would help to know where you’re from (in-state or out of state?)</p>
<p>I think you have a decent chance of getting into UW with those stats. However, if you’re out of state then you will need to improve your SAT score but if you’re in-state then I think you’re around UW’s average SAT score range.</p>
<p>My advice is to work on those essays! They’re an important part of your application and it would be bad to slack off on them.</p>
<p>UW does not consider letters of recommendation in the application process unless you are applying to the honors college. I think you have a very good chance, but this is mostly based off of your volunteering and other extracurricular activities. My GPA was about 3.7 (although my SAT/ACT might have helped since it was above average) when I was accepted this year (and I’m going yay!) so I still think you’ll have a good chance of getting in. Being a URM is helpful too. One thing though, are you in-state or out-of-state? I was an out-of-state applicant and I am pretty sure I would not have gotten in if I was an in-state student since UW needs the money from out-of-state applicants… but anyways, I think you still have a very good chance overall. Don’t sweat it! But don’t slack off senior year either. Good Luck!</p>
<p>Edit: oh yes and listen to Mikasha: write good essays! it really makes a difference.</p>
<p>Thanks, I am an out of state student.</p>
