<p>Hi,
I just recently finished 10th grade, and ever scared of getting rejected from the UW. Here is my info. and I'll just put that I am Asian (I don't know why it matters, but I see other people put their ethnicity too?)</p>

<p>GPA- 3.1667 (my school doesn't do that weighted/unweighted stuff)</p>

<p>Course highlights:
9th grade: honors science, French II
10th grade: honors biology/chemistry (1 class), honors world history, honors language arts, French III
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 something, AP something</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
1. One of leaders of a committee (we make events for the community)
2. in a club
3. in a committee (stated earlier)
4. volunteer for Foodbank (a place that supports struggling families)
5. overview= roughly 100 hours of community service</p>

<p>Plans: Increase GPA to 3.4/3.5, More service hours, more clubs (and take over, get leadership lol)</p>

<p>and YES, I live in Washington, thank God... </p>

<p>So please tell me if I am on the right track, what I should do to improve my chances, and anything else you feel like saying!!</p>

<p>I forgot to add that I am a male…
and another question… why does your race and gender matter when getting admitted to a college? Thanks!</p>

<p>bump please!</p>

<p>You have pretty good chances if you actually get your GPA to about a 3.5 and also take all of those AP Classes, because it will show a trend of improvement. If you get 1900+ on the SAT i would say you are in if your “plans” turn out to be true. To make sure you get in, raise your GPA in a rigorous schedule and get a good SAT score. Then you will be in.</p>

<p>that sounds great… I am definitely taking all those AP classes that I said, and am studying SAT over the summer… have to do well on that. UW is like my #1 choice college right now</p>

<p>Plus, make sure that your essay is really really reaaally good. Your EC looks good too. Do you play any sports?</p>

<p>yeah for sure, i am definitely going to spend a load of time, making my essay good. and no i dont play sports, it would be hard balancing sports and AP classes. but i am going to at least think about it…</p>

<p>^ Just do it. You should take part in at least one sport. don’t have to be really good at it.</p>

<p>or not. I forgot, nowadays you have to pay to play.</p>
