<p>Your GPA seems good, and you SAT’s are okay, and you have a TON of extracurriculars that have to do with your major, so I’d think you’d have a pretty good chance. I got into Sam Fox for architecture this year, and I had zero activities related to architecture so :). Just keep your grades up and write an awesome essay! And if there is an option to submit an art portfolio -do it. I did, and I think it helped.</p>

<p>Make certain you go to National Portfolio Day and talk to a Wash U. rep. Google “National Portfolio Day” if you aren’t familiar with it, and follow the advice on the site.</p>
