Chance me for University of Washington- honest opinions only

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>You can chance me if you want, but I still have junior year to start and finish so it would be kind of vague.</p>

<p>I just recently finished 10th grade. Here is my info.</p>

<p>Asian-Male</p>

<p>I live in WA State.</p>

<p>GPA- 3.167 (unweighted) (School doesn't do uw/w)</p>

<p>Course highlights:
9th grade: honors science, French II (didn't offer AP this year)
10th grade: honors biology/chemistry (1 class), honors world history, honors language arts, French III (offered 1-2 AP courses, like 95% of 10th graders didn't take AP)
11th grade (future): I plan to take AP psychology, AP US, AP language, and possible French IV
12th grade (future): Kind of unclear right now, but: AP gov, AP Environmental Science, AP something</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1. One of the leaders/officer of a committee (we make produce events for my city)
2. in a club (I plan to take some sort of leadership this following year)
3. in a committee (stated earlier)
4. volunteer for Foodbank (a place that supports struggling families)
5. I play tennis, but not in any organization so I don't know if it counts.
6. overview= roughly 112 hours of community service (that is going to increase of course)</p>

<p>Awards:
1.I have been offered a trip to Washington D.C. for the Congressional Student Leadership Conference (2009) (I know a lot of people got offered it, but I just wanted to put it in just cause :P)
2. Most Likely to Succeed Award (2009)</p>

<p>Plans: Increase GPA to 3.4/3.5, More service hours, more leadership roles in clubs</p>

<p>So tell me if I'm on the right track... if it is extremely necessary for me to raise my GPA... what else should I do to ensure my acceptance to UW.</p>

<p>Thanks I'll chance back. Honest opinions only. Post link to your chance!</p>

<p>Any SAT/SAT II Scores?
& You are on a pretty good track if gpa continues to increase</p>

<p>mm… i’d say for now, just to focus on increasing your GPA and scoring around 1800s for the SATs.</p>

<p>i don’t live in Washington though, so i’m not 100% sure about what i’m saying, but this school accepts more of Washington residents than outer-state students :)</p>

<p>if you could, chance me too please!:

<p>I think you’ll have a respectable chance assuming you get your GPA up to a 3.3ish, and get an 1850 or so on the SAT or a 27+ on the ACT.
It seems like they’re not as picky with Washington kids as they are with OOS kids.</p>

<p>yeah I have yet to take the SAT, and I have been wasting (lol) studying for it…ahh hopefully it’ll pay off. and yeah Im aiming 2050+ (weird number, I know). And from their impression,I think they dont care about ACTs</p>

<p>You’re right, CSLC doesn’t count. I think that if you raise your GPA though, you definitely have a shot at U of Washington. </p>

<p>@ lizz: you might want to make your own thread. </p>

<p>Chance me back? (: I’m in the same graduating year as you guys! Class of 11 ftw.</p>

<p>I’d say that UW might reject you. This is only because I was literally in your shoes a year ago. I had a 3.14 and even with a 4.0 my senior year my GPA never went to that 3.4 like I planned. Rather it got up to a 3.2/3. </p>

<p>Basically to get into UW you will need to kill the SATs, and manage to get a 4.0 your junior and senior year to get it to that desired 3.4 level. </p>

<p>Best of luck! Just make sure that a) you have killer essays and b) 1-2 backup schools.</p>
