I’ve heard many different things about getting into the University of Washington.

I’ve heard its very hard and I’ve heard that its a wild card. Since they view the application holistically, I’ve heard that people with low GPAs have gotten in. I’m very confused so I need to know if I have a chance of getting in since in my dream. Here is my overview of my application:

In-state (i dont know if it matter if it’s in state or not)

Ethicity: Indian (idk if being ethnic will help)

GPA: I have a low GPA :frowning: (less than 3.0 more than 2.5) However there is a special circumstance for it and I did email my admissions counselor explaining why. I have taken a total of 9 honors classes and 1 AP class throughout high school. I also have taken Health Career extra courses in the summer for 2 years in a row. Freshman is the only year I had a bad GPA. I do have an upward trend but during Junior year my GPA did dip down a little.

SAT: I have a 1210. I have only taken the SAT 2 time and I scored 1120 before. I did send UW both my SAT scores to show I improved.

Extracurriculars:
-I have had a job since 10th grade
-over 200 hours of volunteering
-I danced my whole life (performances)
-I did singing my whole life and guitar (did gigs)

  • I did Crossfit since 10th grade and trained for competition
    -I was a part of the yearbook
  • I did MUN in 9th grade

My essays are good and they represent the person I am.

I just really need to know where I stand so please feel free to give me your honest opinion. I personally feel that my GPA is the only thing that’s decreasing my chances.

Honestly, you need to score much higher on your SAT and Improve you GPA a great deal. as well as improve your
ECA’S nothing here make you stand out, my overall impression is that you cant handel the course work of the school and… thats about it, nothing else is really intriguing. put more effort into all of this and i can see it happening aim for at least 1300+ sat and a gpa of 3.5+, the two conditions i just listed dont even put u at a good chance but seeing where your at right now, its unlikely you will get a 4.0 (if u can great) and its unlikely you will hit 1500, but aim for 1300+ SAT 3.5-3.8 GPA and improve your ECA and include stuff that makes you unique

The GPA is probably disqualifying, but no one but the UW admissions committee can tell you for sure. Make sure you have good applications for backup schools. Best case: you have another good school to go to. Worst case: You have to cancel your backup plan to attend your dream school.
