Nervous applicant, any insight?

I’ll be the first kid going to college in my family, and I attend Timberline High School. It’s not a competitive one by any means, but not necessarily a bad school either.

I’ve taken one AP english class (aced it), and 4 honors english/science (one C my freshman year, As and Bs after that). I got a 3 on the AP english lang. test. I also have 3 years of spanish, which I believe exceeds UW’s standard of 2 years.

Oh, and I also took a New Market web design class over the summer and earned college credit, but there wasn’t much of a place to mention that in my application.

My SAT spread is…
Math: 530
CR: 580
Writing: 560

I’m still awaiting my November test scores. I took the SAT in June and October, and got the exact same score in every single section.

Anyways, I definitely did not slack on my writing. I had my journalism advisor (also a UW grad) read over all of my essays and he told me they were solid. I also did the optional writing section as well.

My back-up school (which I’ve applied to already as well), is WSU.

And as a sidenote I’m also applying for AFROTC, but I never mentioned that in my application.
