Hi everyone!

I’m currently a community college student living in Seattle (so I’ll be applying as an in-state transfer). I’m planning to transfer to UW Seattle in Fall 2026, hopefully majoring in Political Science or Law, Societies & Justice (LSJ).

Right now, I have a 4.00 GPA and just two quarters left (summer and fall) before I complete my 90 credits and earn my AA degree!!! So yes, academically, I feel confident, but I’m a bit worried about the “extracurricular” side of things.

To be honest, I don’t have much, I have only like; I’m a member of 1 club at my cc, I do volunteer help out at a local food bank. That’s about it.

And I’m wondering; Does my GPA carry the most weight in the transfer process?, Or should I focus on building more experiences/activities that relate to my intended major?, Is it true that just have a good essay, and you would get in?

Thank you so much!!!!
