<p>The important thing about your GPA is the obvious upward trend you have from Freshman year to your Junior year. Your overall GPA UW is >3.5 which is good, and your SAT scores are >1200 for M+CR so you’re fine there. Seems like you’re pretty involved with soccer and a couple other clubs and that you have a pretty good/somewhat competitive course load overall.</p>

<p>You’ll get in, but I doubt you’ll get a scholarship. Maybe half tuition at best.</p>

<p>Thanks. Do you feel like my weighted GPA is too low?</p>

<p>Your weighted cumulative GPA right now is 3.83. I think that’s a good number since it/s >3.75. Especially since your UW is >3.5 I think you will be okay. Apply early if you’re worried.</p>
