<p>Please let me know what are my chances!! thanks</p>

<p>Probably not, your ECs are a little lacking.</p>

<p>all right, thanks for the honesty.</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>I actually think you’re kinda on target. Not as a target school for you, but not as a reach either so like maybe in the middle. reach > you > target? lol You have a chance.</p>

<p>Well I think you actually have a good chance, your scores are good, which will kind of balance out your gpa and EC’s. :slight_smile: good luck</p>

<p>I think you’re IN. WUSL is a stat whore school. the school so loves people with sterling stats. but if you’re from Cali, go to a top Cali school. there are a lot of excellent ones out there. otherwise, go for an ivy.</p>

<p>I hope people realize Bookshelf was being sarcastic.</p>

<p>all: thanks for the replies, helped me gauge where I stand</p>

<p>johnson: I didn’t see that haha. I didn’t know anything about WashU when I started this thread except that their premed is pretty good</p>

<p>If it’s not too late, I’ll add my opinion haha. enemyunit, your stats are looking good. I actually live in STL, about 45 minutes away from Washu and a lot of people get in with stats like yours. Ya got a good chance :)</p>

<p>a very solid chance, did you apply early decision?</p>

<p>two things that might pull you down are your UW GPA and your class rank, but even so, everything else looks amazing.</p>

<p>a 35 ACT composite makes a significant statement, and your high school schedule seems highly rigorous</p>

<p>wangatang: thanks for your input, that gives me hope!</p>

<p>arsenalrc15: Unfortunately I didn’t apply ED, I’ll be doing RD. Do you think that will hurt my chances a lot? Yeah, my UW GPA is my Achilles’ Heel…but thanks for chancing me =D</p>
