Chances w/ low HS GPA & High Running Start CC GPA

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Washington
1

<p>I've just completed my junior year in HS and really am eager for applying to colleges this fall. I'd like to hear some opinions on where I stand on admissions to University of Washington (Seattle). I hope to go into Dentistry and UW would certainly be great for Undergrad as they're nationally ranked and have a top-notch Medical/Dental program. </p>

<p>Here's my stats...
• Freshmen Year:
GPA 3.333
Three Honors (English, Biology, History)</p>

<p>• Sophomore Year:
GPA 3.275
Cumulative GPA 3.29
Took AP World History (Got all A's but a 1 on the AP test, didn't prepare)
One Honors (English)</p>

<p>• Junior Year:
This year I was in Washington's Running Start program at Spokane Falls Community College, received 45 credits (9 classes)
GPA 3.82
Cumulative 3.48 (haven't seen the official from transcripts but it should be around that)</p>

<p>• SAT:
Reading 620
Writing 670
Math 560
Combined 1850</p>

<p>• Volunteering
Fresh: Church -- 60 hours total + one week Summer VBS
Soph: Church -- 40 hours
Junior: 40 hours (too many different places that I'm not concerned about listing :p)</p>

<p>Will my high CC GPA help my chances at UW admissions w/ my low High School GPA? I see their average SAT is around mine, but the average GPA is around 3.7... So will having RS on my transcript aid my chances?
Also, I plan to receive my AA from SFCC this coming school year.</p>

<p>How many college credits/units are you going to have at the time of your application?</p>

<p>At the time of applying I will still be at 45 I believe (fall quarter ends in December, before Christmas break). I will be enrolled in my next 15 credits (so credits 46-60) when applying. Unless the app deadline is sometime beyond Fall quarter I will have 60, but last I checked deadlines are usually November.</p>

<p>udub does review holistically. at this point you’ve improved over the years, which can help you in most every circumstance. i think that on the surface, you seem like a reach candidate, but once your gpa is really investigated, it gets you into the match category. I would say you have a slightly better than 50% shot. good luck.</p>
