<ul>
<li>3.1 UW GPA (Bad grades in my early high school career hold me back, but there is clear improvement upon those grades, something UW likes)</li>
<li>26 ACT composite score</li>
<li>I've taken six APs between junior and senior year. My scores from last year were two fives and a four. </li>
<li>Great Extracurriculars (Speech and debate captain, mock trial attorney, president of another small school club, and two journalism activities in print and broadcasting which convey my interest in journalism which is what i want to major in at UW).</li>
<li>Impressive essays (My personal statement is really emotional, introspective, and good at exemplifying my personal growth over the years. I'm also a pretty good writer in and of itself.)</li>
<li>Lots of personal adversity (I've had depression my whole due to having an autistic twin, watching a kid at my school kill himself my sophomore year, and by being put into a mental hospital. I really try to show how all of these experiences made me stronger and due to them I started taking school a lot more seriously my junior and senior year, which is reflected in my positive grade trend.) </li>

<p>I know that UW has accepted students with stats like mine before, and even applicants with stats a lot worse then mine, too. Cappex says UW takes and rejects just as many students with stats like mine (so around 50 percent) and parchment gave me a 25 percent chance but also said that really it could be anywhere between 16 and 42 percent. What do you guys think of my odds? Thanks in advance!</p>
