<p>I think you’re in pretty easily. Although your gpa is below average for UW students, that shouldn’t be a problem since you attend a well known high school where I’d imagine grade inflation isn’t nearly what it is at a lot of public schools (which consequently inflates the UW stat). SAT is more than good enough since UW only looks at CR/M, so as far as they’re concerned, you’ve got a tidy 1450 / 1600 there. Diverse extracurriculars as well, I think you’re in.</p>

<p>Even though OOS is a bit harder to get accepted, you should not have any problem getting in so long as you write a solid essay.</p>

<p>I’m interested in UW too, want to chance me back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-washington/814185-nervous-applicant-any-insight.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-washington/814185-nervous-applicant-any-insight.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
