<p>so i like uw a lot.
but i dont have greatest stat either.
i have gpa 3.86 sat 1850.
also, my family income is low like 30,000.
And, ive heard that uw is really hard for oos and they dont give much money for oos students. hence, i dont think iwll be able to afford it..
so im worried, if i even need to bother applying.....
or rather apply to whitman college.. which i like also and think they are more generous on financial aid...
please help me.</p>
<p>Apply. When you get the financial aid letter, then you can decide. Your GPA and SAT isn’t extremely low, it’s within the 25%-75% range, I think.</p>
<p>If you like the school, then you should definitely apply. I applied OOS with a lower GPA than you, and your GPA is the kind UW likes to see. I think you should apply and then when the time comes, worry about the financial aid.</p>
<p>I agree, apply. You have good enough stats to get in. But UW gives NO merit aid to out of state students so i guess you’ll have to count on getting a fair amount of financial aid.</p>
