You have a chance but my guess is you are deferred or rejected. WUSTL favors ED. My guess is no test score will hurt this year but you’re certainly a solid candidate. They actually state that it helps them see your preparation for success but that you will still receive full consideration.

As long as you have safeties and matches you are fine.
