<p>I also have a strong, very individual essay and pretty good recs.
Are there any other ways of showing interest besides a campus visit/interview?</p>
<p>If you are not admitted, it would not be for a lack of qualifying credentials. In my opinion, you should be admitted & given scholarship consideration.</p>
<p>I'm starting to consider applying ED. The application is pretty much finished.
Should I do it? I'm nervous about binding myself to Wash U, especially if scholarship money becomes a problem...</p>
<p>My suggestion to apply ED was in response to your question about ways to show interest. I think you have a good shot either ED or RD. It seems to me WUSTL is very generous with financial aid. And, according to numerous posts on this forum, if you feel you don't get awarded as much as you need, a call to the financial aid office often results in more $$ (so long as you reasonably justify the need).</p>
<p>My son's resume read almost exactly like yours but with a lower ACT and he was accepted. He had his official interview with the varsity swim coach; it went very well and I assume this helped get him in (he is now on the swim team). Good Luck...it is an awesome school!</p>
