<p>Hey everyone, I just discovered these informative forums. I am fairly interested in what people think my chances are at these universities.</p>
<p>This fall quarter of '08 I am taking my last 15 credits at community college and I am applying to all three of the previous mentioned universities for Winter quarter/semester.</p>
<p>I am transferring 90 credits and receiving a 'DTA' or Direct-Transfer agreement Arts & Science associates degree at the end of this final quarter. According to these Washington schools all of the general requirements are taken care of with this degree.</p>
<p>I was a mediocre student for a long while but from summer '07 to present my grades raised dramatically. Used to be average gpa of 2.00-2.4 also with an absolute terribly quarter or two but changed to average of 3.3-3.6 per quarter (summer '07 on). My cumulative gpa now is 2.99 and fall quarter I will get at least a 3.7 but I'm pretty sure this wont matter since I'm applying now to within a couple weeks (again for winter).</p>
<p>I am wondering if anyone has experience with these things or better these universities and can tell me if I stand a chance at all. I also spent a LOT of time on my essay and I feel it gives a very personal look on who I am. A huge chunk of it was my 'awakening' so to speak.</p>
<p>First of all I am not sure if 1 year of better grades is good enough for these schools but its all I have. Western Washington U is my reach school. Washington state is my hopeful and Central Washington U is my backup. Also if it will help I am Iranian and visit Iran every couple years so I put that down as my EC thing. Good Idea or no? Final deal, my major that I want to pursue all the way is Computer Science. Anyway thank you for reading this, especially if you read the whole thing and big thanks for a reply.</p>
