<p>I was wondering if someone could tell me my chances of getting in. One of my friends got in and I'd by psyched to go there with him.</p>

<p>3.771 UW GPA (most likely 3.74-3.75 by time of application)
3.9 W GPA (will be higher. I'm not sure by how much)</p>

<p>1 Honors class sophomore year
3 AP classes Junior year
Planning to take 3 AP classes and 1 Honors class senior year</p>

<p>I haven't taken the ACT yet, but I think I'll be getting in the range of a 26-28 and will be retaking a maximum of 2 times if I'm not satisfied with my score. And I am preparing rigorously for it</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: </p>

<p>2 years (will be 3 after senior year) on Robotics, one (most likely 2 after senior year) as head of Finance
1 year of varsity hockey (had to quick because of knee injury</p>

<p>~20 hours of volunteering so far</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>It’s a reach. A larger reach if you’re out of state.

  • GPA of 3.74-3.75 is below the average of 3.85
  • ACT is below the 25th percentile for LSA.
  • Relatively low class rigor.
  • Extracurriculars are impressive but they won’t make up for the low test score and below average grades.</p>

<p>Your best shot is to do everything you can to try to score higher than that on the ACT. A 26 would give you a minuscule chance of acceptance. A 28 would be better but still wouldn’t look good.</p>
