The University of Washington - Seattle
UWash-Seattle says:
One reason we do not provide avg test score or GPA statistics to this website or any other is that students often think of these as minimums. Although a large public flagship university with over 15,000 applicants each fall, the UW prides itself in using required essays and other additional information in a comprehensive review process that allows to consider students much like a typical small college might. No, we can't admit everyone, but we admit a lot of students with great potential, not just great transcripts.

“I kept straight A's in high school, got veryFeb 22 2012Biology
I kept straight A's in high school, got very high standardized test scores, and was active in many different academic honor societies and community service/leadership organizations. I was active in the Scouting program and did approximately 20 hours a week of volunteer work for various charities and my church throughout high school.

Though I was involved in many extracurricular activities, it seems like UW cares more about numbers than the student as a whole, so make sure your test scores and grades are as high as possible. Minority status definitely boosts admission potential as well.

The admissions office looks the most at your 5 extracurricular mini essays. I got in with a 3.6 and an SAT of 2170 but many people with 1800's get in. Honestly, this isn't just a Stanford-caliber school that's easier to get into, this is a relatively easy school to get into with Stanford-caliber departments that need the same quality of students.
SAT: 2170 Male
