<p>I am, though it isn't my first choice.</p>

<p>4.56 GPA
2250 SAT
National Merit Semifinalist</p>

<p>Out of State</p>

<p>Yeah, I vary on UW being my first choice. Sometimes I really don't want to go there, and other times I am like, well, it's a really amazing school. Decisions decisions... I am so indecisive. That's why I'm not doing ED anywhere.</p>

<p>Def. not my first choice either. I just figure since I'm in-state it's a great safety school to have.</p>

<p>^^^Im like that too. I mean, i love the school, but i don't think i can do with the flexibility (or lack of it). I want to take lots of languages, and UW seems like the perfect place, if that were not the case. I cant take many languages at UW since it is on a quarters system that averages 3ish courses per quarter. Cause that means id i was really pushin it, i could take 2 per semester and then one or 2 other classes.</p>

<p>Ide rather go to a school on semester schedule where language classes are 3 credits (McGill is where im lookin) so i could easily take 3 language classes at a time(schedule wise, not necessarily difficulty wise) and another 2 classes on top of that (i wanna do econ too).</p>

<p>^Same. I plan on taking Japanese, German and Estonian, and UW is the only school that I know of that offers Estonian.</p>

<p>Yeahyuh I'm applying.</p>

<p>seclusion- just out of curiosity, where else are you applying?</p>

<p>Erm...I have Dartmouth, Wellesley, and Northwestern lined up before UW. I'm kind of apprehensive about leaving the west coast...although I will DEFINITELY make an exception if I get accepted to one of those, haha.</p>

<p>I don't know. I've been told that I'm aiming too low and that I should include one of CHYMPS. But you like what you like.</p>

<p>question: does UW still only look at the highest single sitting sat scores or have they started to superscore?</p>

<p>"When students submit scores from more than one sitting of the same test (for example, March and October SAT) or scores from the SAT and ACT, the highest combined score from a single test date will be used. The best mathematics score from one test date will NOT be combined with the best verbal score from another test date."</p>

<p>From undergrad admissions site. Blah. Does anyone else find the UW website exceedingly hard to navigate, btw?</p>

<p>okay, thanks seclusion. i knew they did that a couple years ago when my cousin applied, but i wasnt sure if they changed it.</p>

<p>yeah the website sucks.</p>

<p>Jesus Christ ! You lot have crazy stats ! Howcome the median SAT scores are ~1900ish then ?</p>

<p>this isnt exactly a representative poll of applicants.</p>

<p>True ...</p>

<p>Anyway, how far is the Uni from downtown Seattle?</p>

<p>not incredibly far. you could walk if you wanted, but i think most people take a bus.</p>
