<p>how good a chance do i have to get into uw or wwu???
any input would help thanks. </p>
<p>Additional Details</p>
<p>you can only do one club each year at my school because they all meet at the same time</p>
<p>western pretty much sucks</p>
<p>If you are in state, then you pretty much are guaranteed amdission to UW with your gpa.</p>
<p>why does western suck? everyone that i know that went there really liked it...</p>
<p>Well, lots of kids like it, but I mean't more in terms of UW. Going to western would be a very bad choice I believe if you got into UW.</p>
<p>UW certainly is a good school. It's big... and in Seattle... which isn't the same as Bellingham (but you already know that, am I right?) -- but if you're OK with that, and if you get into the UW, then it's a better choice as far as your education and prestige go than Western. </p>
<p>Your scores fit into the mid 50% range for UW -- which is as follows:
verbal (=CR): 530-650; M: 580-670 -- and they admit 2/3 of applicants. As long as your transcript isn't full of "filler" classes (TA, PE, pottery, office aide...), and your essays are OK, you should be able to get in. :)</p>
<p>What kind of high school do you go to? That also makes a difference.</p>
<p>... And I am assuming you're in-state.</p>
<p>i go to a public school around 250 in my class... 1000 in the school</p>
<p>why does ta and pe etc lower my chances?
i have about 3 ta classes so far and my needed 3 pe classes
also photography and art classes... does that matter?</p>
<p>anniushka is saying that a rigorous course load is important. you should have about 4 years of english, 4 years of math, 3-4 years of science, 3-4 years of history/social studies, 2-4 years of foreign language, 1 year of fine arts. fulfilling graduation requirements of pe and all of that is fine but colleges like to see academic electives. ap/honors classes are also good.</p>
<p>i have 4 years of english, 5 years of math counting 8th grade algebra, 3 years of science, 3 years of history, 2 years of foreign language around 2 years of fine arts. im taking 2 ap classes right now and i have taken 1 honors in the past. hopefully thats good enough</p>
