Applied to CEHD. They told me my application was complete on 10/14.
gpa: 3.52 (weighted but school doesn’t send uw)
ACT: 27
No AP’s but all honors classes
OOS
For activities I’ve ran cross country for 4 years, track for 3 years, junior board 2 years, and I had a summer job
I know people have been hearing back about a month after applying. Should I expect the same?
Admission decisions began in early October and start with the strongest applications. All decisions will be made before Jan. 31.
Your ACT is fine for CEHD but your gpa is a bit low. You can figure out your uw gpa just by using the 4.0 scale and averaging over number of credits. As long as the UW gpa is above a 3.0 you have a decent shot (i.e. match-to-low reach). Do you know your class rank?
Here are the most recent stats for admitted students broken out by college:

Good luck to you!
@JBStillFlying my school doesn’t rank and my weighted gpa is on a 4.0 scale. I don’t know if that makes a difference
@vbual123 then go ahead and calculate your uw gpa yourself and see what it looks like. Use A=4, A-=3.67, B+=3.33, B=3, etc.
As I said if you are above a 3.0 you have a decent shot. We know a couple of kids just below that value who didn’t get in (although not sure which college - probably CLA which isn’t very different in terms of admission chances).
Good luck!
