<p>My top choice is Washington University in St. Louis and will most likely apply early decision. I know it is a very selective school but I am very serious about it and have visited it and talked with an admissions director. I am currently a junior.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.85 (unweighted)
4.5 (weighted)</p>

<p>ACT: 29( I know it is very low but I am doing all I can to raise it. If super scored I would have around a 31)
Math: 32
Reading: 31
English: 30
Science: 28</p>

<p>Junior Classes:
AP English Language
AP Calc AB
AP Computer Science
Honors Physics
AP Government and Politics
AP Microeconomics</p>

<p>Senior Classes:
AP English Lit
AP Calc BC
AP Statistics
AP Chemistry
AP Psychology</p>

<p>Rank:
15/783
I would say it is a fairly competitive school. Many of the top 2% go to highly respected colleges.</p>

<p>I have completed 3 years of Spanish and still deciding whether or not to take a fourth.</p>

<p>A 31 ACT score and those credentials should get you into Wash U. The gold award will certainly make you stand out and show a commitment to community service and leadership. Good Luck!
