Please Chance me (if anyone even monitors this forum)

<p>Hello all,</p>

<p>I've done some forum searching and have found many helpful strings. I'm submitting this string in hopes of getting your thoughts for my specific situation.</p>

<p>Background</p>

<ul>
<li>I am applying as a "Transfer" student</li>
<li>I am a Washington State resident and graduated HS last June.</li>
<li>I'm diabetic (diagnosed freshman year of HS)</li>
<li>I did ~2.5 GPA work for the first three years of HS (due to diabetes related issues)</li>
<li>I never took the SAT/ACT as I planned to apply to the UW with more than 40 transferable credits (I plan on having 90)</li>
<li>For senior year, I was a running start student at GRCC. I focused on classes that would allow me to graduate HS and would transfer to the UW Biochemistry department (e.g., Calc., physics, Gen Chem series, English, tech writing, etc.)</li>
<li>During my first year at GRCC, I racked up 46 credits and earned a GPA of 3.73</li>
<li>After completing Running Start, my overall HS GPA rose to 3.0. (graduated 6/10)</li>
<li>I'm currently in my second year at GRCC and will have completed by Spring qtr. just over 90 credits. I will have completed Calculus I - IV, The General Chemistry series, the Physics series, two English comp. classes, and other required electives.</li>
<li>My GPA last qtr (Fall 2010) was 3.53. My current overall GPA is 3.70 which I plan to maintain through winter and spring quarters.</li>
<li>On several occasions, I have been invited to join Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society. I plan to join next week.</li>
<li>I focused on taking classes which apply directly to my intended Biochemisty major, rather than obtaining an AA degree from GRCC.</li>
<li>I've applied (online) to the WWU on 12/19/10 and have sent my official transcripts, and two letters of recommendations from my GRCC professors (Calculus and Chemistry). In both of these series, my GPA was 3.90.</li>
<li>My personal statement was just under 1000 words and addressed all of the questions/subjects recommended by the WWU. I did cover the diabetes hardship and how that affected my early HS year academic performance.</li>
</ul>

<p>Given this unique situation, how likely (or not) is it that I will get accepted?</p>

<p>Thanks for any insight you can share on these questions, or anything else.</p>

<p>29 views and no opinions… really?</p>

<p>Wow, one can really hear the crickets in this forum…</p>

<p>Western appears to be able to accept most “qualified” applicants. I haven’t seen any transfer stats, but I would think a GPA of 3.5+ would get you in.</p>

<p>Fill out what you just posted in the “Other things you want us to know” window. It’s toward the end of the application.</p>

<p>“I did ~2.5 GPA work for the first three years of HS (due to diabetes related issues)” Tell them what you learned about yourself/life, etc. and let it go. </p>

<p>The rest of your resume is fine.</p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback!</p>

<p>Woo-hoo! I received my acceptance letter on Thursday, 2/3!!!</p>
