<p>I’d just like to point out that a great deal of this can be answered if you talk with/email an admissions counselor.
but here are my opinions:

  1. prolly not that much, but enough so that you dont fail it. try to aim for a low 700s, and youre prolly safe (i got a 750)
  2. maybe? i have no clue, but i want to say yes.
  3. i hate these things, b/c theres so much more to an app besides the sat/act scores. w/ just that, im pretty sure i can get into every college. if you dont have anything besides nice test scores, you wont get in any great college (unless youre some sort of very smart person who already went though diff eq your junior year or something, but that would also be reflected in your class schedule). dont take them into much consideration unless the middle is a great deal bigger/smaller than your score.
  4. [FinAid</a> | Calculators | Expected Family Contribution (EFC) and Financial Aid](<a href=“Your Guide for College Financial Aid - Finaid”>Expected Family Contribution (EFC) Calculator - Finaid) go with that. but speak w/ the finaid/admissions ppl too. they say they meet 100% need, sometimes might give more if you bug them enough, and have quite a few merit scholarships for the taking. the main thing is NOT to apply if youre not sure. backing out of an ED acceptance is almost always very very sticky.
  5. theyre division iii, so im guessing not very? if youre spectacular and somehow have an in w/ a coach / show it in your app, i guess you could find your chances of getting in increase
  6. well im glad you love diversity. [About</a> Washington University](<a href=“http://admissions.wustl.edu/faq/Pages/AboutWashingtonUniversity.aspx#ethnicitybreakdown]About”>http://admissions.wustl.edu/faq/Pages/AboutWashingtonUniversity.aspx#ethnicitybreakdown) will tell you a bit about diversity there. its commonly believed that if you get a traditional dorm, you tend to be closer to your hallmates, as apparently being forced to leave your hole in the wall for the toilet makes you more outgoing. but it doesnt really matter if you get a traditional or a modern, if you make an effort to be antisocial/outgoing. it depends more on the ppl than the hall (as the housing assignments are supposed to be relatively random), and if you dont make a concerted effort to get to know ppl in your hall, then you can only blame yourself.</p>

<p>s’okay. im also relatively long-winded. good luck!</p>
