<p>Hey everybody,</p>
<p>This is my first time to these forums; I'm hoping to gain some knowledge from those of you out there with a better understanding of the college admissions process than myself. My application is a little unique considering I am a 21 year old (graduated from HS in 2007) just now applying as a freshman to both the University of Washington and Western Washington University. I've already sent my application into both schools, however I am a little concerned about my strength as a prospective student.</p>
<p>I graduated with a cumulative 3.3 GPA and took numerous AP and honors credits. I have little extracurricular activities (such as sports, clubs, etc.), but have a strong work history since my Sophomore year. I have a little community service experience, but nothing outstanding. I have an extremely strong essay (can post if necessary).</p>
<p>I took my ACT and SATs in 2008:</p>
<p>SAT - 1820
SAT Critical Reading - 660
SAT Math - 610
SAT Writing - 550</p>
<p>ACT Composite - 30
ACT English - 35
ACT Math - 25
ACT Reading - 32
ACT Science - 27</p>
<p>Last year I applied to both Seattle University and Ithaca: accepted to Seattle University (decided to turn down because my FAFSA didn't kick in much financial assistence), denied at Ithaca. How good are my chances at UW and WWU? I'd sincerely appreciate outside opinions so I can better prepare myself in the event I'm not accepted to either.</p>
<p>Thanks!
Matt C.</p>
