<p>Just submitted my app, I chose an undeclared major and stated only pre-health sciences as a major, my stats are definitely not amazing, but I am wondering if with my SAT and decent essays can I get in?</p>

<p>Stats</p>

<p>OOS-VA
Asian (East Indian)
Public High School, Magnet Program
Class rank is also weak, 203 of 538 or 37th percentile
GPA: 3.32 W, 3.11 UW my school does not weigh any honors classes, only AP are weighted and a few magnet courses. They do this by adding a number directly onto the GPA depending on the grade you recieved in the class with A adding .0488 to a GPA and B adding .0366 and C adding .0244</p>

<p>Pre-HS GPA 3.5
Freshman GPA 3.3
Sophmore GPA 2.7 (ouch)
Junior GPA 3.1</p>

<p>yeah trend is not that good, but courseload gets better and better each year</p>

<p>SAT: 1970 640 M 640 R 690 W (10 Essay)
SAT II: Taking this saturday, Math II and U.S. History, I can still submit these in time, lets be conservative and assume I score about 600-650 on each, but I am shooting for 700+ in each
ACT: 28 (26 English 9 essay, 27 Math, 28 Reading, 31 Science)</p>

<p>I submitted both scores since they are fairly equivalent and have their strengths and weaknesses in each and UW asks for both scores</p>

<p>AP Tests
Psychology 5 (junior)
US History 4 (junior)
European History 3 (sophmore)</p>

<p>Also took AP Calc AB and AP Spanish Lang test as a junior, did not score too well in test </p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Senior course load + first quarter grade:
AP Comp Sci A-
AP Environmental A-
AP Government A-
AP Statistics B-
Magnet Anatomy and Physiology A (weighted)
Honors English 12 B</p>

<p>factoring this in does raise my GPA to about 3.2 UW and 3.67 W</p>

<p>ECs</p>

<p>They only take 5 main ECs, I chose 3 that I felt I could write more indetail about each for their journal entry
Volunteering as an educator at local aquarium
Mentoring with a psychiatrist at a psychiatric ward
Guitar lessons + show + band participation</p>

<p>Essays are about cultural experiences + playing in a band, I feel like they came out pretty well.</p>

<p>No space given to list awards so no point in saying them</p>

<p>Suggestions? Comments?</p>

<p>Your SAT is pretty good for Washington</p>

<p>Your GPA however is lower, but it looks like youve been taking a rigorous course load.</p>

<p>Id say its a low reach.</p>

<p>thanks for the reply, I’d also love an opinion on my chances at George Mason University, Virginia Tech (not engineering or archtiecture major) and James Madison University if anyone else wants to contribute thanks :)</p>

<p>Id say George Mason is definetley a safety, Virginia Tech and JMU are hard because you have phenomenal SAT Scores for these schools, but not such a great GPA. However, Id say if you have taken a rigorous course, Virginia Tech is a low reach and JMU is a match.</p>

<p>bump, i would love more opinions please :D</p>

<p>You might have a chance at University of Washington, but no guarantees. I know a friend who got in with a GPA of 3.3 and SAT score of 1500. However, I also know a friend who did not get in with a GPA of 4.0 all honors classes and a 2000 SAT score. He had a lot of ECs and can play a lot of musical instruments. Maybe his essay was not good, im not really sure. But honestly I think University of Washington is a little bit unpredictable. However I did hear, that University of Washington depends a lot on your essay. Hope this helps!</p>
