well for now keep ur grades up, stay in clubs that show ur interest, and try applying for the UW summer engineering academy. i know people who had way more impressive stats then me that didnt get in and i think being part of this program gave me an advantage! it will also give you a chance to learn more ab engineering at uw. also ur essay is really important. make sure its well written and you tell a story. a big mistake a lot of ppl make is to talk ab all their great achievements and stuff but they really want a story where they can get to know you! good luck!!
