<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I'm an Indian American (born & raised in WA state).</p>

<p>UW is my top choice for college, but I'm not sure if I'll get in.</p>

<p>My GPA is a 3.48 (ugh)
SAT: 1980 (CR 670, M 730, W 580) Don't know how I messed up writing that bad, I got a 650 last time
Superscore would be 2050 with the 650 in Writing.
I've taken 3 honors classes in 9th, 2 pre-AP classes in 10th, 3 AP classes in 11th, and now I'm taking 3 again this year.
I played JV soccer last year (Getting into varsity is highly competitive at my school)</p>

<p>I want to get into Foster's for BA, and I was accepted into the YEOC program, which had about a 50%ish accept. rate</p>

<p>I've always been wondering if this would be worth mentioning in the "additional comments" section of the application: My whole life I've lived with a bipolar parent, and studying daily is tough, but I feel like UW admission officers would think I'm just trying to make excuses up.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>Also forgot to mention that I’m VP of one of the state’s largest FBLA chapters</p>

<p>Is the GPA unweighted? If so, it won’t be that hard to get in.(like 50/50)</p>

<p>Also, how serious your parents’ bipolar disorders? You can ask your GC to talk about it like this: the student, despite the disturbing environment that is more than mere hindrances, worked very hard to accomplish what he has now.</p>

<p>Yeah it’s unweighted</p>

<p>While your GPA is pretty low, I think it will be made up for with your SAT scores. Although I hear it’s getting harder and harder for in-state admissions. I’m applying there now with a 3.8 GPA and a 1720 SAT. I’m not quite sure how accurate my input is though, because I’ve mostly gotten information about my chances as an OOS student. </p>

Wow this was a long time ago. Glad to say I got in.
