<p>A note about the college’s admission requirements: First criterion is evidence of ability to do successful academic work</p>

<p>How successful is successful assuming all Honors/AP Classes are taken?</p>

<p>Would it mean like a 3.0+ ?</p>

<p>I’m in the top 5% [just barely] of my class, but my UW academic GPA is a 3.79 [weightd 6.79/7.0]</p>

<p>I know i’m passable under all other criterion [a little bit more than passable]
SAT: 2320
Subject Test: 780/800/800/760</p>

<p>Extracurricular: I know this is strong as well [at least passable]</p>

<p>Essay: This is going to be very strong [more than passable]</p>

<p>However, I have no real hooks</p>

<p>If you’re in the top five percent of your class, your grades won’t be a big issue. A 3.79 UW might hold you back a bit, but there is irrefutable evidence of your ability to do successful academic work.</p>
