<p>Okay I skimmed that, my accomplishments can fill this space from here:</p>

<p>:to here.
And I got in, and I'm out of state, had 3.3 GPA, had an okay SAT 1850, and I don't do ish for school or anything else. Nothing, nada. Well nothing that I added on my application. So seeing how you have much much MUCH more accomplishments than me, better grades, harder classes, more activities and leaderships... I don't think you're getting in. Does that answer a lot? UW isn't.... Harvard.</p>

<p>ya that helps.. thanks. i just worry about the whole "highly selective" thing that people say about uw, no where near as crazy as harvard i know.. but what you said did help. may i ask, why do u think im not getting in? is it because i have "have much much MUCH more accomplishments than me, better grades, harder classes, more activities and leaderships" confused but hey, whatever helps, helps right?</p>

<p>I was being sarcastic. Or maybe not, maybe they only want average students. YOU'RE OVERLY QUALIFIED. Possible? Be scared.</p>
