Chance for University of Washington?

<p>unweighted GPA: 3.2 (explained below)</p>

<p>PSAT Score: 224 (I got the commended scholar gig but my GPA kept me from being a true semi/finalist)
SAT scores: 800 reading, 760 math, 740 writing (2300 overall)</p>

<p>ECs: Track, guitar, piano, volunteered at a hospital over the summer. I also enjoy studying language on my own time, which is how I was able to jump from French 2 all the way to AP French. If that counts as an EC then whoopie :D</p>

<p>AP: APUSH and AP English in junior year, scored 5 on both exams.
AP AmeriGov, AP Literature, AP Calculus AB, AP French and AP Physics B this year (senior).</p>

<p>During freshman year and the first half of sophomore year, I was a huge slacker. Upon realizing I want to go to a state university, I got my act together. I had a 4.0 throughout the second half of sophomore year and all of junior year, but when averaged it still comes out pitifully low. Curse my idiotic 14-15 year old self.</p>

<p>EDIT: Forgot to mention, yes, I'm instate. Seattle born-and-raised.</p>

<p>You have great test scores and an upward trend on the GPA. That’s good. Are you instate, if so, you are in</p>

<p>I would address your situation in your essay somehow and how you have grown and stuff. They love high scores so I would thiink if you don’t make excuses for the grades and you get good 1st semester scores you would be admitted.</p>

<p>Good 1st semester scores? Do you mean to say that they also factor in the first semester of senior year?</p>
