<p>You have a really good chance. For daap, at lease as of right now, the most important things are UW GPA and ACT/SAT- they don’t look too much at EC’s (that’s all for the cincinnatus scholarship). If your GPA is 3.8/3.9, you’re looking really good- if you raise the ACT score, i’d say you’re in.</p>

<p>I would say that you have a great chance of getting in! I just got accepted this year and my academics were probably considerd lower for daap, but I think my leadership roles/involvement were what gave me the edge. What they’re looking for is to see if you handle the rigorous academic load that ensues in daap, and it honestly looks like you can handle it.</p>
