<p>Don’t stress over missing the priority deadline.
As far as your stats, they’re kinda like mine, a little lower in some places, a little higher in others… I’ve been getting told that I have a pretty decent chance. It’s not definite admission but assuming your essays were good (everyone thinks they’re worse than they are…) you shouldn’t worry too much. It’s just gonna be a while before you get your decision.</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, I feel you on the GPA. My unweighted (which is all the UW looks at) is 3.25 which makes me a a little nervous.
And don’t try to compare yourself with the people on here that have like a 2300 SAT and a 3.99 GPA and 200+ hours of community service [if that is actually someone’s stats, it was unintentional]… they are some of the elite and yeah, it’s a selective school but the averages for the aren’t perfect scores because they do accept people with lower GPAs and SATs like us.</p>
<p>I also applied OOS with VERY VERY similar stats to yours. I am nervous as hell so I can’t give you much of an approximation without sounding biased because we’re both so similar, but I am wishing you the best of luck!!</p>
<p>But make sure your personal statements are strong! I know that they really take the essays into consideration when evaluating applications.</p>
<p>Lets just say we’re all awesome and we’re going to get in. If not, we can become traveling musicians across Europe.
[kidding, kidding! but really- don’t freak out too much. remember, if you/ we don’t get in, apply for transfer at any and all opportunities, that’s what I plan on doing if I don’t get accepted for Fall 2010]</p>
