<p>CU Boulder and the University of Washington are my top choices right now and I'd really like to know my chances while I wait to hear back from them.</p>
<p>High school GPA: 3.7
Top 25% of class, roughly 500 students
non-competitive, somewhat below average high school
Female, african american/white from Arizona
SAT: 1910 Math: 470, Reading: 710, Writing: 730
The first time I took it I got an 1880 with a 520 in math and 680 in reading and in writing, I'm not sure which scores looks "better"
I've taken all honors and AP classes throughout high school.
AP Exam scores: APUSH: 4, AP Language and Comp: 5, AP Bio: 3
This year I'm taking 3 more APs: AP Psych, government, and AP Lit
My high school doesn't offer many APs, the only ones I haven't taken are Calculus (because I didn't have the right prerequisite) and chemistry.
I attended NYU's precollege program 2 summers in a row and earned 16 credit hours
Extracurriculars
3 years of DECA (secretary junior year, qualified for Nationals, earned awards and test score recognition)
DECA is my main extracurricular and the one I was most dedicated to.
3 years of Key Club (chair of the projects committee)
Internship with city council
I've danced at a local dance studio all through high school
Volunteered through Key Club and independently at school and community events such as career fairs and summer camps at the local library
Work Experience- I've been a manager of my school's store for 2 years and earlier this year I was hired at a retail store in the mall.</p>
<p>I got bad grades freshman year due to a bout of depression, which I mentioned in my application. My essays are good, I've always been a strong writer and I had several teachers look at them. I wrote about my struggle with accepting and embracing my biracial heritage and about overcoming depression without medication. I have good letters of rec, though UW doesn't use them.</p>
