What are my chances of getting into Georgetown University?

What are my chances of getting into the University of Washington in Seattle? I applied on December 1st.?

• What are my chances at the U? I'm a Washington resident. Ok here goes. GPA: 3.428. Dropped from about 3.6 after getting a singular "F" in precalculus II...long story, but basically it wasn't my fault, and I explained in my app essay. Am retaking right now and have a 97% average in the class. SAT: 1970 CR: 620 Math: 610 Writing: 740 German: 400 (I don't know how this happened...my best friend is German, I have been learning for four years, and am almost fluent) Math Level II: 550 Should I retake?? Academics: I'm a full time Running Start Student and have been since my junior year. I am enrolled in premedical biology, advanced German, and have completed most of my GECRs already...like English 201 which I got a 4.0 in. I have done very well in RS...except for the C+/B- I got in my first Premedical bio class this last quarer.... I am already technically a sophomore in college as I have accumulated 45 college credits; my college GPA is just over a 3.6 Took AP government summer of 08 at Georgetown University through the Junior State of America Foundation. It was pretty hard to get into. Took AP US History soph. year but only got a 2 on the test..... EC's: JSA (mock congresses, politics, debate kind of thing) Orchestra (violinist since age 10) Wrote for EWU newspaper "The Easterner", and was paid to interview people and write news/opinion stories...and even did a story on Sec. of State Sam Reed. Girls JV XC one year Volunteered at local hospital; I earned a pharmacy assistant's license through the Washington State department of health and volunteered for the hospitals inpatient pharmacy as well as the phlebotomy lab (ran blood and urine samples to and from the lab) Chosen to be one of 4 out of 50+ applicants for the prestigous Sacred Heart Medical Center job shadow. Was accepted to be one of the 350 students nationwide to participate in the Georgetown University JSA summer school in Washington DC...I met with various senators and even got to talk with my congresswoman for a half and hour. As for hobbies..I am good at drawing, I compose my own music, I do ballet under the direction of a local ballerina at her studio (though I took a break this quarter...too much to do...), and I have become recently involved through EWU's music department as a soprano singer after taking a voice class. Both of my music professors confided in me after class and told me that they thought I had a lot of "natural talent"...now I really like singing, and am taking more singing classes at EWU. I want to be an opera singer and a physician....at the same time... I wrote really awesome essays....but after I submitted my app I found a couple of typos that I haden't seen before (they were REALLY good essays though)....I just finished editing them and am going to send them to UW in the mail with a cover letter included. Thanks for chancing me. I'm also applying to Western just in case...

• Answer:

  Here are some sites you see how you compare to UW averages: http://nces.ed.gov/collegenavigator/?q=University+of+Washington&s=all&l=5&ct=1&ic=1&id=236948 or http://college.mychances.net/college-1585-University-of-Washington_admissions-statistics.html Your GPA is fine. Your SAT scores are in the solid upper half of UW accepted students. You've got service and EC's out the wazoo. One F in precalc isn't going to phase them, especially since you are currently showing it was a freak accident. I've never determined that the College board subject tests have any use other than to make llarge sums of money for the college board. Bad German score only matters if you were hoping to opt out of a semester or two of German and to start 2nd year German, and they'll probably adminster their own tests anyways. Same with the Math II, may get used a bit to decide what calculus sequence to plop you into, but probably not even then. Also, at this juncture, new scores couldn't possibly reach the admissions office before decision time. My only questions are: 1) Why are you worried about getting in to UW? Not to be harsh (hey I got my PhD at UW), but UW ain't all that selective - they accept about 65-70% of applicants. With your scores and background you would have a decent (I'd argue better than 50-50) chance at the Stanfords and Ivy's, so why isn't your question about Stanford or Yale? Or at least Reed and Cornell? 2) Once you are a doctor, if for some reason I ever have to go to you for a medical emergency, can you please promise to not sing opera? It would scare me to death. Frank Sinatra, Johhny Cash, Sinead O'Conner, Ella Fitzgerald, Pink, Lady GaGa, I can handle. but just not opera. Please.
