<p>I'm aiming for 50 hrs of volunteer work in the library</p>

<p>Can I make it? My grades are good but my ecs pretty weak.</p>

<p>Well at least you have a good attitude!
The test scores are borderline and the ECs very weak. You need to show alot of interest-ie visit the school, interview, attend local WashU presentations. Of course the BEST way to show interest is to apply ED.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>I disagree about the test scores - WUSTL will look at the best superscored which is your ACT - that is fine. But I do agree the EC’s are a bit weak - what have you done with your summers? Any paid work? “Church” alone is not an EC – unless you’ve done something above and beyond at the church (or maybe you are the Youth Group Treasurer & Drama Team Leader at church? unclear). Any piano or violin lessons? Dance? Clubs or cultural groups you or your parents belong to? Think hard…</p>

<p>well each week i spend like 5 hours at church on sunday. after service, the youth group eats together and we do activities together. recently we have been having team practices to prepare for the youth group presentation for the whole church.
i’m also in mu alpha theta and national science honor society, but its nothing major.
oh yeah, i co-founded a tennis club a few weeks ago where the tennis team practices in the fall every week (usually, no one practices much in the fall and the team cant have official practices.)</p>
