-Rank-the guidance counselor doesn’t report rank to colleges though knowing it hurts students at our school
-Will not apply for need based aid, only merit based
-No hooks

Notes-
-Decent GPA, strength of schedule
-Good ACT
-I don’t really have too good of EC’s and the lack of leadership in academic EC’s probably hurts me.
-No really good honors/awards either.
- I’m hoping my essays will be able to make up for them though.
I am visiting WashU so I will have put forth interest, and I will schedule an interview at a later time.
If I applied early decision at WashU, can I still apply at and do the scholarship stuff at the other schools as well? And then its only if I get accepted that I have to pull my applications at other schools?
I do have 2 safety schools that I should get at least half tuition at plus admittance to their honor colleges.
Thanks everyone for your help and I can answer any additional questions if I’m forgetting anything important.
