<p>Are you a resident of either state? A couple of years ago the UW admitted quite a few out-of-state students in order to maximize their tuition revenue, but I think that they’ve stopped doing that as much. The UW is pretty formula driven, but as the state’s flagship school they tend to demand a higher GPA, particularly for out-of-state students. I think you really need to pull something in the neighborhood of a 3.75 (it varies by year) and certainly no less than the low 30s composite for the ACT.</p>

<p>I’m a WA resident so I know for the in-state kids, usually somewhere around 1900 SAT/29 ACT with comparable grades is golden. If you could get a 30 ACT, as the person above said, you should have a good shot!</p>
