<p>Wondering how likely I am to be accepted at UW Seattle with the following credentials. Any insight and/or tips would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p>

<p>UW gpa: 3.3 (rough freshman year, plus APUSH)</p>

<p>SAT comp: 1980 (670 r, 660 m, 650 w)</p>

<p>ACT comp: 30 (33 e, 27 m)</p>

<p>AP classes (have taken or will take as a senior): English language, spanish 4, apush, psych, govt, eco, english lit, spanish 5, physics c, calc ab</p>

<p>Pretty much all other classes, if not ap, are honors classes</p>

<p>AP scores: english 5, spanish 3, psych 3, apush 1..(haha yikes, I know)</p>

<p>Eagle Scout</p>

<p>Attended seminary before school each day for an hour all 4 years</p>

<p>Started up and currently run a legitimate power washing business, here is a link to the website: Super</a> Slick Power Washing Houston</p>

<p>Self taught guitar and piano</p>

<p>Other work experience</p>

<p>lots and lots and lots of service hours, heavily involved with church and scouts</p>

<p>Honorary mention on National Spanish Exam as sophomore</p>

<p>That is pretty much it! Again, just looking for some kind of guidance, thank you!</p>

<p>Definitely have a shot, you’re on the bubble. I would say you’re probably in, work hard on your essays though to solidify your chances.</p>

<p>You have a shot. I was initially wait-listed, but later accepted, by UW. I had a 3.5 UW GPA and a 3.7 W GPA. My SAT was a 1780, I was captain of the swim team (participated all four years of high school. Also, the MVP). I volunteered A LOT with the Red Cross and got the volunteer of the month award. I was in MUN and went to the confernce. And a bunch of other stuff I don’t feel like writing. I’d say bring your GPA up to a 3.5 and you should be good. However, DO NOT ******** the essay; that’s one of the most important aspects of the application at UW. Good luck!</p>
