Unweighted gpa: 3.55
SAT (1600): 1340
I’m in NHS, Action Club. I play violin in orchestra and one year varsity of tennis.
I’m also OOS and in a very competitive hs.
I’ve taken 7 APS.
@lilhambo any volunteer hours? A lot of colleges these days don’t care if you exel well at school they also want you to be well rounded. I know when I was in high school they required us to have a certain amount of volunteer hours in order to graduate because they knew colleges were looking for that.
@Aharris1105 Yes, I got around 100 volunteer hours from NHS and Action Club. I have leadership hours from volunteering at a camp.
@lilhambo your chances should be good then. It’s all a matter of waiting to hear back from them.
What grade are you in?
Your chances are ok as the avg. gpa is a 3.7 at uw.
Tell me what your weighted gpa is because that really stands out in the application process especially with you taking 7 AP courses
sorry to hijack this thread, but are you saying that weighted gpa is considered and important? because im really worried as i only have a 3.44 unweighted but a 4.4 weighted. What concerns me is that i heard that uw only looks at unweighted gpa
According to UW’s Common Data Set for 2015-2016, enrolled freshmen had an average unweighted GPA of 3.78 (91.4% had an unweighted GPA of 3.5 or above; 64.24% had an unweighted GPA between 3.75 and 4.0).
Both “academic GPA” and “rigor of secondary school record” are listed as “very important” factors in admission decisions.
Good luck!
do you know if UW recalculates gpa and if so how? also thanks for the info
