Will I get into University of Washington??

Will I get into UW?
I had pretty decent grades until sophomore year. I had 3.86 GPA, but when Junior year began, I had serious family problems which i had suffered with keeping my grades decent. my GPA dropped to 3.5 :(. I am currently studying for SAT for October and November. My goal is to get above 1400, and I am planning to work on my essays realllyyyy well, explaining my hardships on Junior year. Is there anyone who got accepted with similar situation like me?? Im really stressed outttt :frowning:

I’m also applying to UW this upcoming fall. I would say you are over-worrying about your numbers, especially if you explain your situation and why your grades dipped. Honestly, if your extracurriculars are good, you do well on the SAT, and your essays are well written, I think you’ll be fine. This is why colleges give you opportunities to contextualize your application, for situations exactly like yours.

Thank u for ur reply!! I would definitely work on other things too and explain my situation on the essay. I hope u have a great result :))
