<p>Hello! I am a Nevada resident who is interested in applying to University of Washington (Seattle campus) and majoring in informatics. I am a senior in a magnet program at my school.

<p>I'm also considering doing ROTC to pay for college......</p>
<p>what if i get a score of like 1900? i’m taking the sat again this november, and with all the schoolwork i have, i’m not sure if i’ll be able to study enough to raise it all the way to 2000…</p>
<p>i also heard that the personal statement is really important for out of state applicants, but i’m having a hard time writing mine :(</p>
<p>i also heard that it is hard for asian minorities to get into schools because they have to compete with other asians to get into the minority pool for the school. is this true?</p>
<p>UW wants you to be in touch with your culture and they have a “diversity” element to the decision, but they cannot discriminate on race. It’s state law.</p>
<p>Essays are definitely one of the most important parts of your application. Take your time on them, write well and have some teachers and friends help you look over them.</p>

<p>No.</p>

<p>Note that you can put up to 5 extra curricular activities in your application. You can kind of group them together, if you want. Music = piano + orchestra. Religion = church + bible club, etc… make sure you can link them together and aren’t just trying to stuff everything into your application, though. :)</p>

<p>What Eskimokels says about the essays is true. Make it really count! It can make or break an application.</p>
