Your GPA is a tiny bit lower than the average for your major, but your ACT scores definitely do fill in the small gap. Considering your essays are also fine, I think you are a solid applicant to UW.

Also, is it just me or did the UW application only let you fill in up to five extra-curricular activities? I didn’t see a section to submit volunteer service separately.
