<p>My Personal essay, talked about my culture, how my family immigrated over here after Vietnam War, some more stuff and more shiiit….. how it helped me become who I am, as motivation, contribute to my academic goals, and what not.. some more stuff.
After reading my essay, I kinda teared up, cause it was damn good. Maybe not grammar but the story, WOW kinda surprised myself. Good luck to all you people applying to UW! S/O PIERCE COLLEGE Throw up the X</p>
<p>let me not forget. 3 years of Spanish, Speaking Vietnamese fluently, and let’s not forget the diverse culture I bring. Vietnamese and Buddhism is something y’all need to research up</p>
<p>Congratulations on completing your application! :)</p>
<p>Mm, I would say that you have an “OK” chance.
You have a strong GPA in both HS and your local college, but your test scores are very low.
(Competitive: 1800+ SAT/27+ ACT <em>Numbers provided by an admissions specialist from UW</em>)
UW looks at applications holistically, meaning that they factor in everything from GPA to extracurriculars.
Hopefully your AA and strong CC GPA will be in your favor throughout the selection process; UW loves transfers/running start students that have completed all the pre-requisites for their intended major.
As far as the essay goes, many people, including myself, will argue that content>grammar. </p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!
