<p>Okay, I'm new to these boards, so I'm not sure about all the info I should include, but here it goes. </p>

<p>I'm a Senior and female </p>

<p>State: Washington
GPA: Unweighted-3.68
SAT: Critical Reading: 600 Math: 640 Writing: 640</p>

<p>Extracurricular: Tutoring, National Honor Society, Teacher's Assitant
(I was in some other clubs which I am no longer in)
Achievements: National Hispanic Recognition Scholar</p>

<p>I also was involved in a Nursing Camp program at Seattle Children's hospital</p>

<p>I've gotten all A's and B's throughout high school (Most of my core classes I've gotten A's in, it's mostly P.E. and electives that have brought my GPA down)</p>

<p>By the time I finish high school I will have taken 8 AP classes. </p>

<p>My first essay, I wrote about challenges (personal, financial, social, etc.) we faced moving from the west coast to the east coast and back to the west coast and how I feel it has made me stronger (I know that sounds pretty generic, but the actual essay is much more interesting than how I just described it)
Also, should I write the 4th additional optional essay?</p>

<p>Overall, I guess I'm a pretty average student, I know my GPA and SAT scores are not fantastic but do I have a shot? </p>

<p>P.S.-I apologize if my grammar is really bad here, I'm distracted right now, so please don't this as any indication of how I wrote my essays! :)</p>

<p>Your SAT is a bit low, but with your numbers, I’d say you have a good chance of getting in. UW is a match for you. If you could do one thing, raise your SAT or try your hand at the ACT but I guess it’s kind of too late now if you haven’t already signed up.</p>

<p>Im not sure what you mean by the 4th essay… if youre talking about the honors one, then by all means, go for it if you want to try honors.</p>

<p>Your SAT could be a little higher, but I got in with a 19xx. Maybe take the subject tests? And work on your essays and make 'em shine! Good luck!</p>

<p>The fact that gym of all classes has brought you down might raise some eyebrows, but you’ve got a good shot with good essays.</p>
