Since WUSTL doesn’t super score the ACT, it’s important that we know your highest single sitting in order to chance you more accurately. Solid ECs, GPA, and test scores. Legacy will tip the scales; make sure to demonstrate interest in the school. IMHO, I think you’ll get in. I don’t know anything about Tulane. Sorry.

Chance back?

WUSTL does superscore the ACT:

"For the ACT, Washington University considers your highest section scores across all the test dates that you submit. Each time you submit scores, we will update your record with any new high scores (so-called “Super Scores”). "

I think you have an excellent shot. how involved is your mom in the alumni association? Does she donate?

Great chance. My only recommendation would be to get the ACT up 1 or 2 points.

@theringoinfinite my bad. For some reason, when I searched "schools that super score the ACT, WUSTL was not listed.

In that case, I think you’re pretty good to go.
