What does the admissions office at the uw consider the most important? From their website it looks like the essays are very important – do these make up for a low GPA? My GPA is bad but I feel my essays are very strong and explain why my GPA is bad.
well , atleast from what i read , UW does consider essays very important but it also gives a lot of importance to ur gpa . but dont worry uw is a big college and hopefully u will atleast get a general admission
GPA and quality of courses in high school - definitely the most important factor. Essays can provide great context and then give the admissions counselors the information they need on your background to decide if you are worth taking a chance on or not. Their goal is to admit people who are going to do well at UW.
GPA, college preparedness (class vigour), essays
