You definitely haven't wasted your academic career. Sometimes we see the things we do as ordinary, but you need to realise that not many people go down the path you have chosen, which in itself makes you stand out from other people. I think part of making yourself stand out from other applicants is to dig deeper into your academic history and elaborate on what makes you special. Perhaps you can go to a career advisor at UW to help you write a comprehensive CV.
When I applied for independent schools I had to see an advisor and she took all my dot points and elaborated on them, so much so that the stuff that I took for granted and I thought might be perhaps a slight bonus, became the focus of the CV instead. Keep your chin up, I'm sure you will write a great CV.
