any chance at all

<p>i got of to a pretty slow start in hs and my freshman year gpa and 1st semester sophomore year grades were pretty poor. however since then my gpa has been steadily increasing:</p>

<p>freshman:3.3, 3.5
sophomore:3.2, 3.8
junior: 4.3, 4.4
total weighted gpa after junior year: 3.73
uw: 3.5
estimated gpa first semester senior year: 4.3</p>

<p>i am in almost all honors classes, have a 2100 sat, 32 act, and have decent ec's (200+ hrs volunteering at hospital, 50+ hrs shadowing a doctor, varsity tennis, all suburban jazz saxophonist). however im in like the top 25% of my class now and should be top 20% after first semester.</p>

<p>do i have any chance at all?</p>

<p>also took 4 of the 7 aps offered at my school</p>

<p>Wash U likes top ten percent of h.s. class, but I think the fact that you climbed (hard work & determination) the gpa ladder may be to your advantage...I'm impressed! I think Wash U will be too....(?)</p>

<p>If Wash U is your first choice, show a lot of interest, and apply ED.</p>
