The OP says that she also is applying to “in-state safeties”. She is a Washington state resident so she has some good options among in-state publics. I’m not familiar with current UW admission standards, but with a 35 ACT and 10 AP’s my guess is that she’s highly likely to be admitted, if she plans to apply. Since she used the plural, I’m guessing that she’ll apply to UW and also one or more of the Washington state u’s. As she likes Gallatin, perhaps she’d also like Evergreen … so she’ll have options.
It is a legitimate application strategy to simply apply to safeties (or near-safeties) and reaches, as long as the student is happy to attend the safeties.
While it is true that she will be competing against students with stronger GPA’s for admission, but there is a very clear rising trend – so I don’t think that she is entirely out of the running at any college.
We can’t do odds for this student or any other because none of us are privy to her LOR’s & essays. And at very selective colleges, those are often the factors that differentiate the well-qualified applicants who get accepted vs. the well-qualified applicants who get waitlisted or rejected.
