<p>So basic stats about me: About a 3.8-3.9 GPA unweighted. I'm a junior at a very small private school in California. I just took the SAT and I haven't gotten my scores back but I think I did very well. My projected score by the PSAT was about 2000-2200 but I don't know how accurate that is. I have taken most of the most challenging courses my school has. Ive been in honors for most all classes I could be in. I have taken 3 years of Spanish (the longest possible amount of years of the only language offered). I took volleyball last year (just for one year). I took two AP tests on my own outside of school (since my school doesn't offer AP classes) and I haven't gotten those scores back either but again, I think I did pretty well. I volunteer at my church's bookstore. I work a very small, part-time job.
Other than that I dont really know what to put... unfortunately my school and my local community don't have any clubs and I just never got into any other extracurricular outside of my town/school. I will have some great people to vouch for me and I love to write so I'm sure I will have a very strong essay. I do plenty of studies on my own (I'm advanced in Korean and basic in French. I also have studied linguistics quite a bit as it is one of the majors I am considering) but that doesn't exactly count, haha.
As far as I go, personally, I am about 1/5 Native American, 1/3 Mexican and Spanish, and the rest is mixed (German, Croatian, Irish, etc..). Neither of my parents have a college education, my father never even finished high school and my family is considered a lower-middle class family.
Thanks!! :)</p>
<p>If you’re majoring in anything other than Computer Science, I see it as a safety for you. Is there a reason for your favoring UW?</p>
<p>I would like to go into linguistics, a specific language or something similar. No computer science! Haha
I just think the campus is really nice, I love Seattle (and the rain!), and I really like that this particular university is known for being pretty diverse.
Thanks! </p>
