<p>Your stats are excellent and normally I’d say you’re a shoe-in for the school. However, Wash U does tend to waitlist applicants who are overly qualified (and thus have a lower chance of matriculating). I definitely think with your GPA, ACT, and URM status, you can fall into that over-qualified category, but if you show enough interest in the school, they don’t really have a reason to reject you. Good luck!</p>

<p>your stats are absolutely amazing. Just remember, if you’re applying RD, submite apps BEFORE Dec. 1</p>

<p>also, I highly doubt you’ll need to retake the Math II test because WashU doesn’t even require SAT IIs…and you already have Lit and Bio-E and both scores are excellent anyway. But I’d recommend you retake the SAT I and just focus on the math section because right now, you have 110 point difference between your math score and CR score, and that’s not good…</p>
