<p>Seriously? Nobody?</p>

<p>Your GPA is somewhat on the low side, but your SAT scores and ECs make up for that. I think you have a great shot at being admitted next year.</p>

<p>Ok- I just retook the SAT and I’m about 90% sure I upped my SAT score to a 2200+. Are my odds a bit better now?</p>

<p>From the statistics that you have provided, I believe you have a high change of being admitted. However, UW seems to focus more on GPA than the SATS. But since you will be an OOS student, the U will definitely be more likely to accept you when looking at your application hollistically. Good luck!</p>
