Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi all, I am wondering if I could get into the University of Washington Honors Program. (<a href="http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/index.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://depts.washington.edu/uwhonors/index.html&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/p>

<p>my stats:
GPA - 3.9 unweighted. I go to an average suburban public high school. I take the most challenging courses offered at my school and by the end of my senior year i will have 10-11 AP classes and numerous honors classes.
6 credits of math (up to AP Calculus and maybe Statistics)
5 credits of english (up to AP English Literature)
4 credits of spanish (up to AP Spanish)
4.5 credits of science (AP Biology and Chemistry)
4 credits of history/social studies (AP World, US, European, Psychology)
other various credits as required for high school graduation (PE, fine arts, etc.)</p>

<p>Class Rank - I am unsure of this. I am probably in the top 5% of my class.</p>

<p>SAT - maybe 2200-2300? I took the PSAT this year (sophomore) and got a 210. With preparation I think my scores would increase.</p>

<p>ECs - not great, I am on one sports team and I only play varsity occasionally. Next year I should be a regular varsity member. I lettered in Band and National Honor Society. Thats it.</p>

<p>I am a white female, middle class, instate.</p>

<p>Thanks so much for your feedback.</p>

<p>You seem to have pretty good stats, and if you achieve your target SAT score you would have a pretty good shot.</p>

<p>I'm at the UW, and one of my teachers is on the Honors adcom, and is always talking about applications he's accepted or rejected. Here's the thing - his decisions are based nearly completely on the essay. He was even saying that he likes the low-index people better than the high-index ones (i.e., he turned down someone with a high-90s index, but accepted someone with a high-50s index). Just to let you know! I think that the numbers are misleading, to some extent.</p>

<p>Well then, the UW Academy is the easiest way to get into the Honors program!</p>

<p>(or at least in my year, which was the least competitive)</p>
