Chances to UWashington

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>so.. I know you guys must get plenty of these, but I'm very much curious about my chances of getting in. I have WA residency, and I heard that makes a bit of difference. so here they are:</p>

<ul>
<li>3.52 GPA</li>
<li>5 years social sciences (including AP's and college-level classes)</li>
<li>4 years science, math, English (including honors classes)</li>
<li>2 years foreign language (Spanish - my school doesn't offer any more than two years, so I didn't have much of an option there)</li>
<li><p>(I had a 4.0 until my junior year, and in my personal essay I included why my grades dropped. I had really hard family situations that year, because it was the year that I came out to my family as a gay. haha, it's awkward saying that to peers as opposed to the admissions office, but I just thought I'd explain.)</p></li>
<li><p>1900 new SAT</p></li>
<li><p>580 critical reading</p></li>
<li><p>640 math</p></li>
<li><p>680 writing</p></li>
</ul>

<p>I don't know what else to include. I was in FBLA for 3 years, went to state competitions. I have hours upon hours (between 200-300 hours over one summer, for example) of community service, mostly church-related. I was sophomore class vice-president, and although I don't hold office now I'm still in our student council. also, I am graduating with a ton more credits than I need to graduate.</p>

<p>all of the other statistics just sort of.. left my mind.. at the moment, so maybe I can get some feedback? thanks for your time; I appreciate it.</p>

<p>How bad are your junior year grades? </p>

<p>Your GPA + SAT are slighlty above or right in the norm of admissions.</p>

<p>Your ECs are fine and aren't evaluated unless there's some sort of discrepancy in your grades/scores (which you've briefly acknowledged). </p>

<p>I think you have a great shot.</p>

<p>my junior year grades are my worst. I had a 4.0 until my junior year.. !! but, my 3.52 includes this semester's grades.</p>

<p>ahh, I'm pulling my hair out over this; I know it's ridiculous, compared to those who want to get into Harvard or Swarthmore, but I want to go to UWashington sOo badly. eh.</p>

<p>UNiversity of Washington right? In seattle?
I think you're fine; i know someone who got in with 3.0 and 1900 new sat and nothing spectacular.
also UW accepts 70% of its applicants so chances are you';re in.</p>

<p>if I already submitted my applicated, should I send in letters of recommendation, or something along those lines? some people have suggested that.</p>
