You need to do well in your rigorous classes- getting B’s does not indicate you will be well prepared with a solid knowledge base or study skills for UW. UW only considers unweighted grades as well. A lower gpa reflecting improvement- such as mostly A’s junior year would help. A’s reflect learning the material and show study habits consistent with your ACT score. Hopefully you have 4s and 5s on the AP exams.
