LOW GPA... What are my chances at UW?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>GPA for freshman through junior years is a 2.56 (un-weighted). </p>

<p>Senior year I am taking 3 APs (Calc BC, Euro History, Physics), and Honors English. </p>

<p>Got a 3.86 the first two quarters of senior year, and plan on sending a midyear report to all schools I am applying to.</p>

<p>I took the SATs twice, got a 1250 the first time and a 1390 the second (690 Verbal, 700 Math)</p>

<p>My question is:
What are my chances at getting into the University of Washington in Seattle? </p>

<p>Being that my GPA is not stellar and I am from out of state, I know they are not very good. The only things I have going for me is the uptrend in my grades at the end of junior and the beginning of my senior year, and the fact that I have an aunt, uncle, and two cousins all of whom are on the faculty there, along with a father who went there for his graduate degree. Is that enough to give me any shot at all, or should I prepare myself for the inevitable rejection letter?</p>

<p>I think you will get in if you write a good essay.</p>

<p>What is your W gpa?</p>

<p>Your SAT is excellent: You are well above the top 75th percentile. But as you said, it will be your gpa that hurts you. The avg. gpa at UWash is a 3.69, and your gpa is 1.13 below this average. </p>

<p>I believe that you still have a chance since you have an upward trend. If you write good essays (as beramod said) then i believe that you will get in. good luck!</p>

<p>it doesnt look good for you, I think that unless you have a lot of great teacher recs, essays, and ECs, the future is not bright.</p>
