<p>Ur stats look good,it’s of extra curriculars. U should apply I think u have a good change of getting in</p>

<p>Go ahead and apply. Continue doing your best. Most schools use a 4.0 = A scale so hard for some of us to translate grades. UW uses unweighted grades only and looks for the taking advantage of the most rigorous curriculum available to a student at their HS. Improving grades do count. Be sure to show your interest in UW when you apply- better to show your passions than to have a dispassionate but scholarly essay. Never a guarantee but your chances of getting in to UW are good.</p>

<p>There aren’t many Southerners at UW. Aside from the obvious states of Minnesota/Illinois, most out of state students come from the east coast (e.g. New Jersey and New York) or the west coast (e.g. California).</p>

<p>I think UW would love to see more students from the South. Outside Florida and Texas there are not too many.</p>
