Frustrated with non-traditional education - can I still transfer to a 4Y?

Applying to College

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm interested in transferring to the University of Washington in a few years. My educational background doesn't really fit into their application. I was home schooled until 7th grade and then my mom stopped. At age 16, I started attending a community college through a program similar to Running Start. In 2 quarters, I have earned 23 credits and have a 3.97 cumulative GPA. Would I be able to transfer to UW with at least a 3.8 GPA? It's my dream school - and it's close to home. </p>

<p>I have one year (110 hours) of volunteer service at the Seattle Public Library. I taught myself how to make simple websites at age 8 and by age 10, I was teaching my adult friends PHP and MySQL. I have solid employment at my college and my boss/bosses' boss does the hiring for the student government - and they both love me. </p>

<p>Can I get some ideas of what I need to maintain, improve or add to ensure a smooth and successful application?</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>The transfer counselor at you comm clg is the person best equipped to answer your questions. Since UW is nearby, he/she likely has lots of experience plugging in students there. Make an appt.</p>

<p>Please clarify something, are you using college credit to complete HS (like dual enrollment) or have you graduated from HS and are now in college? I ask because many students take college coursework in HS, but when determining whether a candidate should apply as a fr or transfer, you only consider post-HS college coursework. Transferring the units is a separate question from application status.</p>
