<p>Hello, I will be applying to the UW soon from Bellevue college. I currently have a 3.71 gpa. I am a member of phi theta kappa honor society, My current major is an open major, but I will not complete the biology sequence because I would like to take it at the UW. I have a couple quarters left and I am taking more math classes than I need to because I really enjoy math too and will possibly minor in math (should I explain this in my personal statement?). How is my gpa right now? I'm pushing to get it up even higher. I will also be applying as a non resident because I had to move here due to a family financial crisis. Will not having all of the "recommended" courses for my open major (environmental science) change anything? I just want to wait on the bio, and they recommend that too.</p>
<p>Classes I've taken -</p>
<p>Psychology - A</p>
<p>English101 - B</p>
<p>PreCalc - A-</p>
<p>spanish1 - A</p>
<p>spanish2 - A</p>
<p>preCalc2 - A</p>
<p>General biology1 - B</p>
<p>Geography - B-</p>
<p>Music107 - A</p>
<p>Technical writing - A</p>
<p>Communication studies - A</p>
<p>I still plan on taking chem1, chem2, calc 1, calc2, calc3, spanish3 and 1-2 more social sciences.</p>
<p>In addition: I swam all four years of high school, ran track, I was a member of deca, I did some freshmen connect program, but I don't remember the name of it. The only volunteer work I ever did was with my swim team, and neither of my parents have gone to college(only some college), I work full time, I took some AP and honors classes in high school, but an advisor at UW told me high school classes are not considered during the transfer review.</p>
<p>I'm mainly just worried about the personal statement, I suppose I could talk about my new maturity and how I didn't take high school seriously? As well as both my parents losing their jobs and going bankrupt? </p>
<p>Please chance me!!!!! Thank you!</p>
