UW 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.  "
Students who got into UW say:

Too much.
not go.
Step 1, get a job at the UWAL
step 2, develope a clique, so you can copy everyones homework,
Step 3, complain to you parents if you don't like you grade.
step 4, act like an asshole, so everyone thinks your management material.
Step 5, accept your place in the igeneration.

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.

Philosophy

Honestly, I think it's random selection. I was a terrible student until my last two years and my SAT scores were so-so and I got in with scholarships and fanfare. I know kids who nailed 4.0's, were athletes, and/or community activists who didn't even get a nod. They were pissed at me.
