<p>My personal statement is pretty good. My student counselor is using it to show other students as an example. Ive sent in my application for next year but am freakin out if im going to get in. What is your opinion.... good chance or no?</p>
<p>I live in Washington, and I’d say I have a fairly good projection of how hard it is to get in.
Nearly everyone in my school applies to UW since it’s not a bad school, and it’s really close. </p>
<p>If you’re out of state, it’ll be easier for you to get in.
Your SAT score is pretty low. Most people who apply generally have 1900+. Normally that wouldn’t be too big of a deal, but your GPA is not quite high enough to cushion it.
That might be the deciding factor between whether or not you can get in. Your extracurriculars are alright, though.
For you, I’d say it’s a low reach.</p>
<p>Can someone chance me as well?!
I’m also a junior at a very competitive high school in the bay area, california.
My sophomore year grades were not good at all because of personal family issues, but there is an upward trend in my gpa.</p>

<p>this summer, i’m planning on volunteering at Stanford Hospital and tutoring kids in math.
I also have around 200 community service hours.</p>
<p>Last summer, I took Psychology at a local community college and received a B, which would be an A weighted, correct? would that factor into my GPA?
but this spring quarter, I’m planning on taking physics, and over the upcoming summer, I’m planning on taking Statistics, Chemistry, and Business, which would all be weighted because i’m taking it @ a cc right?
if it helps, i also got a 231 on my psat, and i researched a little, and i think i have a prettty good chance at being a national merit semifinalist! i’m not 100% sure if my gpa will hold me back from being a finalist though, but i hope it gives me a mini boost?</p>
<p>so i know my gpa isn’t great at alll, but is there anything i can do to increase my chances of admission?!</p>
