Question Posted Monday October 6 2008, 8:28 pm

I really want to transfer to University of Washington, and because it's such a good school I'm not sure I'll get in. On www.schoolsoup.com (if you click on colleges), it says that the percent accepted is 56%. That seems awfully high for such a good school. I looked on student reviews and a lot of people said its very competitive to get in. I have a 3.13 GPA right now and I'm a sophomore in college, but I'm staying another year and a half to get all my classes for the general education before I transfer so I will have time to raise it.

I want to be in their dental program to become a dental hygienist, but I want to know what grades I should have. Obviously a 4.0 is ideal and a 3.5 I probably still have a chance, but what is the average GPA for a student that gets accepted there? Their website is very difficult to navigate. Help please!!

Oh and I'm seeing my counselor to discuss transferring there next week, but I just really want to know ahead of time.

CollegeBoard.com is an excellent resource. According to their profile page, 30% of applicants had a GPA between 3.5 and 3.74.

So, since eighty percent of those who are accepted have a GPA of at least 3.5, I'd try to aim for that =]

Also remember that several other factors are included when you apply. Extracirriculars, interviews, etc are all very important.
