<p>I am a junior at a 4A school in Washington (state). I want to attend either the University of Washington or Washington State. I've slacked this year and have a downward trend in my GPA.</p>
<p>Here are my credentials as of now
-UW GPA: 3.1</p>
<p>-AP classes: English and Psych</p>
<p>-Honor classes every year except as a freshman</p>
<p>-Dual Credit at local community college (15 credits, 3 classes)
*4.0 at Pierce Community college</p>
<p>-Competed in DECA (deca.org) for my business class and went to STATE :]</p>
<p>-SAT: CR:600
M:440
W:540
Total:1580
*It was my first time taking the SAT last May. I did not study at all. Of course, I am taking it again in the fall. I plan to study all summer. I know I can obtain at least an 1800.</p>
<p>-ACT: taking next week
*I've been studying for the past month and I am forseeing a score in the high 20's (maybe a 28 or 29).</p>
<p>-Community service: many experiences (counselor for a 5 day summer camp at local church, volunteered at McChord Air Force Base, worked at a fun run at my high school, and a day at a soup kitchen)</p>
<p>-Sports at high school:
9th: football, track (no letters)
10th: football, basketball, track (no letters)
11th: cross country, track (LETTERED in cross country)</p>
<hr>
<p>During the summer:
-Working a job at McChord AFB (5 days a week, 8 hours a day)
*Great pay: $14.04/hour :]
-Studying for SAT and possibly ACT
-Summer AP assignments
-Searching for scholarhips</p>
<p>Senior year:
-Two AP classes (Gov and Lit)
-Business III, Spanish IV (college credit at UW), Pre-Calc, Personal Finance, and Ceramics
-More community service
-Re-take of SAT
-Should compete at DECA State and hopefully Nationals
-Running cross country and track</p>
<p>Other stuff: I want to major in business (sports management). I am of three distinct ethnic groups (Panamanian, Chinese, Caucasian). I have lived in 5 different countries because my Dad was in the Air Force (Panama, Turkey, Guam, Bahrain, and Germany -- 6 if you count the U.S.). Lastly, I am semi involved with my church.</p>
<p>That is all I can come up with from the top of my head. I know my grades suck. I had a 3.5 before this year but I became lazy. So I do have a downward trend. I really hope the colleges look at my diversity, because it is something I can really offer. I am also intrested in ROTC.</p>
<p>So with that all said, what are my chances in UW/WSU? And any other colleges I should look at? (I want to major in business). Any other advice at all??</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
