Chance me for University of Washington?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Alright, so I'm a Senior at a small school (35 in graduating class) in Idaho. My dad went through a divorce my Sophomore year which brought my grades down.. plus I'm a bright kid who procrastinates with homework and does well on tests so my grades haven't always been the best. I would really love to be chanced for University of Washington.</p>

<p>I don't know what my current GPA is, but at the end of my Junior year it was 3.45. I have completed 2/3 trimesters my Senior year and have a 4.0 so far (and will continue that as my 3rd trimester is easier than the first two). I got a 29 on my ACT. About 1700 on my SAT. Have completed 3 dual credit classes, got an A in all of them.</p>

<p>My EC's:
--Drama (Been in 6 plays in HS, leads in 2 of them).
--Jobs (Have had at least one since I was 16, I have had two that overlapped so for about a year and a half I had two different jobs. Going to be promoted to Assistant H.R. Manager for current job).
--BPA club (President, Went to State in my Event, we also do volunteer work).
--Book Club (Founder and President). Cheerleader my Freshman year.
--Learning Spanish/Italian/French (Taken 3 classes in HS (Two Spanish, One Spanish/Italian/French, going to start my 4th (Spanish/Italian/French) on Monday. Wrote a children's book and read it to the ESL kids in Kindergarten.).
--Girl's State (Served as County and City treasurer)</p>

<p>I applied to five schools, got accepted to all of them (other than UW, still waiting on a reply)
--University of Oregon
--University of Idaho
--Oregon State
--Boise State</p>

<p>I am extremely anxious about the UW decision. It's the school I really want to attend as I want to go into Neuroscience and UW has a phenomenal biology program as well as a undergraduate degree in Neuroscience.</p>

<p>I have my heart set on UW. They start to answer students on the 15th of this month, and decisions continue until the 31st. I know no one here can give me a totally 100% accurate answer as you guys don't have access to all the information I gave on my application (essays and such)... but I'd love an idea as to whether I will be accepted or not so I'm not completely surprised either way.</p>

<p>For those of you who take time to help me out here, thank you very much :)</p>

<p>I suggest you submit your ACT rather than SAT. Its higher and you don’t need to submit both.
UWash: Match! You seem like the ideal candidate. I can’t guarantee your admission but its very possible you will get in!
Oregon: Match! I think you will get in here, its less selective that UWash.
I’m not familiar with the other schools. </p>

<p>UWA: Match/High match (can you pay full-freight?)</p>

<p>Whew, thanks guys :slight_smile: I really hope I get accepted to UW.
No, cannot pay full freight Catria. But I filled out my FASFA and quality for the maximum amount of grants. Also, I indicated that I would like to participate in Work Study. AND my dad is willing to take out a PLUS loan for me.</p>

<p>And thanks shk909. I did only submit my ACT. And I did get accepted to all the other schools I applied to (as well as received some merit and need-based aid) so I’m not worried about that. :)</p>
