I’m worried my GPA isn’t good enough alone. My current weighted GPA as a junior is a 3.1 and UW isa 3.0, I have taken a total of 2 honors classes(received Bs)(soph year) and 2 AP classes(received B’s)(junior year). My average grades are usually 2 A’s and 4 B’s, but last semester I underwent extensive surgery to get cochlear implants for my hearing loss, which caused my grades to drop for that semester. I ended up with 3 Cs and 3 B’s and i took 2 aps. This semester I have 5 Bs and 1 C, but the AP classes are a B. I am asian American,and have severe hearing loss. I am co-presidnet of a club that is unique in the trivia-state, participate in 3 other clubs, started a chapter of a national organization in my school district and current co president of it, and was part of track for two years, but ill be joining next year. As for volunteering/extra curricular stuff, I’ve been part of a crisis call center for COVID-19, was about to volunteer at a hospital before the pandemic, but will do so when everything reopens, had my art published in a book, have a job, and accepted into the academy of arts pre college. For SATs, because of the virus, I havent taken it, but if I get the chance to, I will. My average SAT score is a 1400. My for college Essay I am planning to write about the struggles and challenges of my hearing loss that I overcame. Specifically, about my surgery, when I realized that although I struggled significantly(which made my grades drop), other people have it so mucgh worse and made me realize I’m privileged with the support I have, and because of this, I participated in specific EC activities that would help disabled/struggling kids. But overall, these are some of the specifics I plan to include on my application and I just wanted to see if with these stats and accomplishments and Extracurriculars, I would have a good chance of getting accepted? Also, If I were to apply, Im thinking of the school of biological and env. sciences. I forgot to include that Im out of state, specifically in CA and my school is in the top 20 public high School in CA, so the competition is fairly high.
Your SAT score , if you manage to get a 1400, should be enough to get you into SEBS, even with your low GPA. Whether you get a scholarship or not depends though
