My chances?

<p>I'm going to be a senior this upcoming year, and UW is so far the only University I am considering. But my problem is I don't think I have a good chance. </p>

<p>My GPA is around 3.80</p>

<p>I am a running start student, I am aiming to complete the pre-nursing prerequisites there by the end of my senior year.</p>

<p>My SAT scores is 1290. That was my score without studying. I know FOR SURE I will have to retake it and take some subject test.</p>

<p>I volunteer at the hospital, currently I have about 75 hours. I also have hours from Key Club.</p>

<p>I am in Key Club (3rd year), National Honor Society (1st year), Chinese National Honor Society (1st year), Chinese Club (4th year), Multicultural club (3rd year), Science Olympiad (3rd year), and U-Crew which is a club to help out the incoming freshmans (2nd year).</p>

<p>I am also a Key Club officer, Chinese club officer, and Chinese National Honor Society officer. </p>

<p>Lastly, I've been in the tennis team for 2 years.</p>

<p>I know I don't have a very good chance, but can someone please help me and tell me what else I should do to increase my chances? (other than SAT because... yeah...)</p>

<p>Also, I am also going to take the ACTs, so does anyone know what score I should aim for?</p>

<p>I would recommend for everyone to follow the standard practice of applying to multiple schools in which at least one is a safety. If you don’t, in the chance that you don’t get into the UW, you’ll have nothing to do for a while.</p>

<p>Your GPA and EC’s look great if you’re in-state and still look good if you’re out of state. Since the UW only needs either the SAT or ACT, I recommend you retake the SAT and take the ACT and submit the one that goes to your favor the most unless you did exceptional on both. Of course, write a great personal statement.</p>

<p>This site will give you all the GPA, SAT and ACT stats you need (just click the tabs and go exploring; it’s much better than getting subjective answers from some anonymous college forum :slight_smile: ):

<p>And please apply to multiple schools just to be safe; I knew someone who didn’t and things weren’t pretty.</p>

<p>@potatomawnster‌ Thank you so much for your help!</p>

<p>I’ve thought about applying to Seattle University, Portland State University and Seattle Pacific University too, so thank you for your concern on that! :slight_smile: </p>
