<p>Sounds as though you’ll be a strong candidate.
If you can possibly get your UW GPA up to a 3.75+ you would be in even better shape.
Good luck.</p>

<p>I’m not a fan of chancing but you only got one response so I thought I would respond. Like OP said, try and up your GPA a bit (I imagine it would help a bit) and you should consider doing an art supplement with your music if you are good.</p>

<p>I think you’re a strong candidate, but it never hurts to improve your app. Is it possible for you to raise your GPA a bit? Can you somehow reach the top 10%? As for the ECs, any particular reason why you’re not doing the club anymore? I think it’s important to show commitment, but if you have other ECs you are dedicated to it should be fine. For example, have you been playing both instruments all through high school? </p>

<p>And ooh, fingerstyle? I also play it :smiley: Sadly, I can’t compose. I can arrange, though. Who are your favorite guitar players? (Sorry for getting off-topic, I get excited when I hear the word “fingerstyle”, lol) </p>
