UW is my dream school. And I was devastated when I got waitlisted but I talked with my counselor and she says I can appeal and I could get in!! Could you please give me some advice whether I could get in or not?
GPA: 3.4 (my school doesn’t do weighted)
freshman and sophomore years were 3.1-3.3
junior and senior years were/are 3.6-3.7
got 3 on all AP exams
going to take two more this May
SAT 2010
In state
I have a senior teacher writing a letter of Rec and my counselor is going to read over my other two letters of rec that went with my app to see if she thinks they will help my case or not.
I am also doing a year long project that is required for graduation at my school and my counselor believes that writing about it in my appeal will turn to my favor.
PLEASE HELP.
also if I don’t get into UW… my life is literally ruined… haha…
my older sibling went to UW, should I include that into my appeal?
thank you.
Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming?
Can you do two years at a community college and then transfer to the university?
Not to be a d0uchebag or anything, but from what I’ve heard, UW appeals have a very VERY slim chance of getting you accepted. Just what I heard!!
@ucbalumnus Washington State and I did consider com college but my family would disown me (literally i think) if I did that… coming from a family of tigers ._.
@darkhound173 and yeah I read that it’s a 1/20 chance of getting an appealed acceptance but I got nothing to lose so might as well… right? I’m just really anxious all the time and I feel sick because of this appeal and waiting 
Do you have any other affordable admissions to any other colleges?
Gonna give ya a pro tip. No matter what happens, life goes on. Whatever is meant to happen will happen and you will be fine either way.
Go ahead and make the appeal because you have nothing to lose but don’t hold your breath because appeals at any college rarely make any difference unless you have something that makes you an automatic acceptance.
@ucbalumnus not exactly I only applied to a few schools and already two had rejected me and I doubt the others will accept me
I really thought I could get into UW
@SvFalcons74 I’m really hoping that my counselor is going to do their best at writing her rec cuz I feel like that would help tremendously and cuz my counselor is really conscious of keeping their “100% students accepted Into university” streak…
What major did you apply to? Some are extremely selective (namely computer science, but I’m sure there are others).
@CollegeMan91 I applied to International Studies. I kind of want to study that and it fit with my xc like study abroad and model un
My friend was waitlisted with 3.4 gpa, 34 ACT and 12 IB courses. UW really values gpa over test scores, and my friend has higher stats/tougher courseload. I wish you luck but I don’t think you’ll get in.
@Penmanboat was your friend In state?
also idk I’m just hopeful and I heard rumors that UW really likes people from my school.
Same here, I got waitlisted. 3.4 gpa and 1950 SAT, i have pretty good extra curricular and really thought I could get in :(( but now I’m just regretting not putting more effort in my essay. Plus theres no one here to help me with anything, cuz I’m from canada and my teachers and guidance counsellor don’t know anything about applying to the states
@luceesbear you can first accept the wait list then appeal!! it is a low chance but either way it can help them see a “not all grades and transcript” side of you and your desire to go to UW. and I also hear that not many people in state really go; just apply cuz it’s the home school.
