<p>The march sat scores just became available today and I didn’t do so well… I got a 720 on critical reading, 550 on math, and 580 on writing, 1850 composite. I am planning on retaking the sat in October but how bad will such lopsided scores affect my chances of admission? My top two choices are The University of Washington-Seattle and The University of Texas at Austin. I live in Washington. I am a junior. My grades are decent. I have a 3.85 out of 4.0 unweighted gpa, which has been on the upward trend. I haven’t earned anything less than an A- after the first semester of my Sophomore year and I have never earned anything less than a B. I took the most advanced classes I was allowed to take my freshman and sophomore year of high school, so pretty much all honors classes, then my Junior and Senior years I took/am taking dual credit classes (running start) full time at our local community college which was recently ranked as the best community college in the country by the Aspen Institute. I have a 4.0 out of 4.0 gpa at the community college and made the Presidents list. When I graduate from high school I will have an AA degree from this community college along with a high school diploma. A far as ec’s go, I am jv cross country for 3 years, varsity swimming for 3 years, jv golf for two years, and jv track for two years. I have 100+ volunteer hours. This past summer I spent a month in India doing volunteer work at an orphanage and home for the disabled, and I volunteer weekly at a local free health clinic. I am not involved with many clubs, the only club I am in is National Honor Society, however, I am in the process of joining the honors society at the community college. I have no leadership positions. My first choice of major would be pre-med so something like biology, and my second choice would be history, as I am very interested in history. So what are my chances of being accepted to these two schools? I realize UT is less of a chance than UW, but do you think I will at least be accepted into one or the other? Also, what can I start doing right now (spring of my junior year) to increase my chances of being accepted to these schools? Thanks for your help.</p>
<p>Just a quick question… Some colleges do NOT accept students with college credits/degrees. Did you make sure those colleges accept incoming freshmen with AA’s?</p>
<p>Yeah we talked to admissions officers at both schools and both will accept the credits.</p>
<p>Could somebody please chance me?</p>
