Hi! If I have a good GPA, president of a club as well as being involved in others, have many extracurriculars, but have low SAT and ACT scores, what do you think my chances are of getting into the UW?

Hello Anonymous, 

The University of Washington seeks students who can benefit from its wealth of academic and cultural opportunities and contribute to its amazing energy and rich diversity of experience. Choosing students from a competitive group of applicants requires a selection process that looks beyond grades and standardized tests…While these factors are important, they tell only part of an applicant’s story.

The University uses an individualized application review more typically found at smaller private universities and colleges. In addition to grade-point average (GPA) and test scores, the University takes into account many aspects of an applicant’s achievements and personal history.

To learn more about our review process please check out the following site: https://admit.washington.edu/Admission/Freshmen/Review

Best wishes!
