<p>GPA & Class Rank</p>

<p>Applicants are expected to achieve a high level of performance in the course work they pursue and an increasingly strong academic record. We do ask for your GPA and class rank. We also realize that many schools consider GPA on different scales and some do not report GPA or class rank at all. We consider both GPA and rank in the context of your school. We typically see unweighted, academic GPAs between a 3.5 and a 3.9, and a class rank in the 85–96 percentile.</p>

Test Scores</p>

<p>Either the ACT or the SAT is required, including results from the writing section. We consider the highest composite score obtained in a single test administration as your “official” score, although we will look at all scores reported in an effort to get a true sense of your achievement. Admitted students will typically score between 27–29 on the ACT and 1860–2090 on the SAT, though again, there is no minimum required score.</p>

<p>Not updated for years. Newest typical score range is 27/31 for ACT (Fall 2011).</p>

<p>Came off their freshman admission page today. It seems a college of this caliber would have up to date information on their website. I will go with the website. They did remove an outdated chart so it appears they keep it updated.</p>

<p>It doesn’t matter whether you go with old or new data. You either get in or don’t. There could be a year with higher/lower stats so UW shouldn’t base its admissions data on just the previous year. If the test scores remain higher for the next few years it will be a definite trend and should be changed in the admissions information. Nitpicking on small changes won’t change anything.</p>

<p>Maybe they want to encourage more applicants and not scare them off. Also it does say admitted rather than enrolled. Usually enrolled is lower than admitted but maybe they are an exception. Don’t have the admitted stats as the CDS reports enrolled as does the UW Data Digest. </p>
