<p>Thought you would already be in?</p>

<p>Decent chance though imo, what AP scores?</p>

3

<p>AP Enviro- 3
AP Calculus AB- 2
AP Calculus BC- 1
I know, AP Calculus was pretty terrible of a score.
The other three (AP Chemistry, AP U.S. Gov, and AP Stats) I am taking senior year. I didn’t really get the opportunity to take APs until Junior Year anyways.</p>

<p>Your AP Scores are virtually pointless in college admissions (at least for UW). If you were in-state, I would say you’re in. OOS is a bit more competitive, so if you can increase your SAT around 100 points just to be safe and make sure your essays are golden. Ask an english teacher, another college student, or even someone with some solid history in CC to check over it. Although I see no faults in your current stats, those advice are just to be on the safe side.</p>

<p>Raamzic,</p>

<p>with all the budget cuts that uw is facing, I think more oos will be admitted. </p>

<p>UDUBHUSKIES
I think that you have a good chance</p>

6

<p>AP Calc BC is a 1? How did you pass the class and maintain a 3.8 cumulative GPA? Aside from that confusing detail I’d say you have a solid shot.</p>

7

<p>@lsmajones: the test was way harder than the class. i think it was just the result of poor preparation.</p>

<p>It is probably a high match/ low reach for you. If your essay(s) are awesome then you have a good shot!</p>

11

<p>Thank everyone! at malc366, what do you think makes me a high match/low reach candidate? i’m not saying that you’re wrong or anything, i’m just curious. thanks :)</p>

<p>oh, and 1930 is my new SAT score.</p>

15

<p>40% chance, I have connections inside the University of Washington saying this year’s OOS admission’s acceptance rate is going to be BRUTAL. I wish you the best of luck and hope you somehow get in!</p>

16

<p>Wait, like actually brutal? Is it going to be below 30%?</p>

17

<p>and when they say OOS, do they include international in that group? sorry if i’m asking too many questions.</p>

18

<p>I heard the same thing as UWHuskies12 with regard to the OOS acceptance rate being brutal this year. That is really unfortunate for you OOS applicants. I lucked out with applying to Boston College this year, they declined 26% in total applications because they added an essay. Serendipity at its finest.</p>

19

<p>is it a theory, or is it for real?</p>

20

<p>I don’t know what you mean by “theory” exactly?</p>

<p>I heard it through the grapevine, so I can’t speak to the veracity of the claims other than the fact that I have heard the sentiment about the OOS acceptance rate being lower this year.</p>

<p>Do with this what you will.</p>
