3.62 W GPA (I had mediocre grades Freshman and Sophomore year but explained in my essay what had happened those years that cause me to get those grades) 29 ACT I was in my schools volunteer club where I got the Presidential Service Award. I was in NHS (Treasurer). I was in my schools first girls ultimate frisbee team. I have other extracurriculars and academic awards. I would honestly say that maybe my essay and the fact that I’m a first gen student and immigrant helped just a little. There are other things that helped out too. I can’t believe I got in but I’m not gonna question it.

We are lucky that UW was his 2nd choice (UMN first choice). Had he put all his eggs in one basket, it would make for a sad start to Christmas vacation. It’s going to make for a very fun Battle for the Axe game, though…his best friend got in to UW! I’m super proud of them both!
