<p>You’re Vietnamese, but you’re in a Korean Club? Lol.</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty safe chance of getting in. UW doesn’t care at all about class rank, so you can scrap that. Same with SAT Subject Tests. Both unweighted and weighted GPA’s are pretty low, so that might sting you.</p>

<p>But being a first-generation college student will give you a huge boost (I think). You have a lot of extracurricular activities, but just choose the ‘best’ ones in your own personal opinion.</p>

<p>I think you should get in. Your B average in AP classes won’t make you a shoo-in, but your hooks, EC’s, and SAT score should definitely cover for it.</p>
