In previous years threads such as these seemed to be very helpful (inspired by math3matical) and since application season is coming to a close soon I thought I'd start one. Please feel free to post questions for other applicants in this thread, and if you are willing, please let us know the results of your application in the coming months!
Good luck to everyone, and go dawgs!

Chances for Direct Admit for CS or Infomatics?
Do Coalition send the PDF to UW or the actual completed application web forms?
Anyway, I called UW admission office before two days ago. The girl who answered the phone knew about this -- many people have called about the issue. She said it's just a bug in Coalition app when it generates the PDF and it doesn't affect the app itself. In fact, the "Program" selection is a mandatory field, so "if you can submit your application, it means you have selected it correctly."
I am an international student from Turkey.
Intended Major: Electrical Engineering
GPA: 9th=%82
10th=%88
11th=%88
12th~%97
SAT I: 1430 (640R&W, 790 M) (Retaking in December, expecting 1460-1510)
SAT II: 800 Math 2, 740 Physics
ECs:
-Engineering Internship
-Physics Club (organized several events to raise awareness about climate change in our school.)
-GLOBE Club (it is an international program, sponsored by NASA, which helps students to learn scientific process)
-+60 hours of Community Service
-Playing Classical Guitar (for four years)
-Windsurf (My level is RS2 which is the last level before professionalism)
-Basketball (Played it for ten years as a licensed player, then left the team but continued to play regularly.)
Essays: I think they are decent. (8/10)
-GPA: 3.32
-SAT: 1260
-Only APs taken are the three I'm taking now senior year.
-Senior year course load: AP Psychology, AP Calc AB, AP Macroecon, Spanish 4, English 4, Gov
-decent ECs
-pretty good essay/letter of recs
Freshman GPA: 3.14
Sophomore GPA: 3.25
Junior GPA: 3.43
Senior GPA: so far/projected 4.0 (Weighted)
Bit worried since both GPA and test scores are pretty low. Freshman and sophomore year were pretty bad due to some responsibilities at home (explained in my essay).
Retaking the SAT in Dec, hoping for 1350-1400
Hooks:
-First Generation
-Hispanic/Latino
From CA
Major: Finance
Academic achievement, middle 50%
High School GPA 3.70-3.95 (out of 4.0)
Test Scores
SAT Composite 1180-1370 (out of 1600)
SAT Math 600–720
SAT Evidence-Based Reading + Writing 590-680
ACT Composite 27-32
So you GPA is way below the 25% mark. If you get SAT 1350, it will help, but I'm not sure it can overcome the GPA deficiency.
