<p>Someone is bored. I am still at work. So bored.</p>
<p>i got a 30 both times i took the ACT, 3.67 cumulative GPA, 3yrs of student government; no major stacking in any areas haha</p>
<p>and you were accepted?</p>
<p>I checked Family Connection/Naviance to see what ACT scores that WUSTL-accepted students from my school received. The lowest was a 26 (RD) or 30 (ED). The lowest SAT score accepted was a 1770. The average ACT score was about a 31, and that was about 10-15 students. So there’s definitely hope if you have under than a 32 on the ACT-WUSTL looks for well-rounded, smart, interested students.</p>
<p>What about athletes? Are they more lenient for athletes, regarding academics?</p>
<p>^ Being an athlete is a good EC, but there is no leniency regarding academics unless you are recruited.</p>
<p>yes, i was talking about recruits. someone like me: ranked second in the class of 500 but has test scores on the lower end (like possibly a 31 or 32)</p>
<p>“i was talking about recruits. someone like me: ranked second”</p>
<p>If you’re talking about recruits, that implies athletic recruit, while a class ranking refers to how you compare (rank) in your class based on your gpa. You’re talking about apples and oranges.</p>
<p>I’m going to guess that WashU doesn’t recruit athletes (I may be totally wrong!!), but they’re DIII.</p>
<p>limabeans- I was under the impression that coaches at WashU do have /some/ sway but it’s nothing like recruiting in DI.</p>
<p>limabeans: They do. However, they don’t have the same influences in admissions as that of D1 coaches.
What I meant was that I have the grades in terms of GPA, but in terms of standardized tests, I will be in the lower range, as of now. I’m a little worried that even though my GPA will cut it, my scores would not.</p>
