<p>Hi, I’m currently a freshman at UW Seattle. From my experience, your GPA might be an issue, but your ACT and EC are great. I do think you have a solid chance, just make sure than your personal statement (essay) is on point and well written, best of luck :D</p>

<p>I made it in with a 3.2 GPA., lots of AP classes,3/4 in tests, 1920 SAT, <em>big</em> upward grade trend last two years (fixing freshman year). The essays were probably my main selling point.make sure you write like you know exactly what you want do; i wrote about Biology. also i used ‘extra comments’ to describe personal life goals, and role models. .etc.
i also had 195 community service hours; and i was in a few ECs like cultural clubs, DECA, </p>

<p>my GPA is out of the norm; but it is possible to stand out. You should be fine with great essays. write them months in advance and have teachers/parents look over them. be creative; mine were really out of the ordinary, they probably got their attention.</p>

<p>@shot2k‌ what was your gpa and sat scores? Since you’re admitted, that’d be nice to know :slight_smile: :slight_smile: </p>
