<p>I'm a junior in high school and have recently been looking into colleges. Over time I've heard that UW is a great 'pre-med' school and I'm very interested. I have a 3.6 GPA and have taken all honors and AP classes that are available. I believe my weighted GPA is over a 4.0. Anyways, I did awful on my SAT, getting a 1410, but I'm going to retake it. I also plan on getting a high score on the ACT. </p>
<p>My EC's are actually pretty impressive based on other opinions. I play varsity golf, have participated in our schools sports medicine program, and I am doing advanced this year. I am VP in the schools Leo's Club and Spanish Club. I was also the treasurer for our student council my freshman year. I have a lot of community service hours and plan on getting more this summer. I will also be doing an internship for an orthopedic surgeon. There is a lot more not listed. </p>
<p>Something that is unique is, my sister has had to battle cancer since 2011 and has really taken a toll on my academics, but plan on getting back on track and want to be a doctor. Don't be rude and jeep in mind my test scores will better greatly. And advice will be greatly appreciated. I am also looking at the University of Utah and the University of Oregon.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
Standardized tests are not everything, but they do measure students’ abilities, especially for students from different schools. Your EC’s are solid, but not anything special as well, and 3.6 isn’t very good for UW (it’s very competitive). I suggest really studying for SAT/ACT since I think it will do you good, and you should also try to raise your GPA if it isn’t too late. </p>
