<p>I've been pretty worried about my application for a while and was wondering if anyone would be interested in chancing me for ED.</p>

<p>Asian guy living in Iowa in a fairly competitive High School. I have sibling legacy and have visited the campus as well as attended WashU's rep visit to my school. I used to live in Missouri, close to St. Louis.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 UW 3.8 W</p>

<p>I had 2 C's junior year, and also have two on my midterm report senior year. To say I'm worried about those grades would be an understatement. Basically, I messed up junior year, and I've had some issues adjusting to my senior year workload and it hasn't been working out too well for me. </p>

<p>Your SAT and GPA are average for WashU. You scores on the AP tests are not the best and your extracurriculars are decent. I’d say you have a shot, but I can’t say that you have an extremely good shot. I wouldn’t worry too much about it, it’s all a crap shoot anyways. I know it’s really hard to not think about your decision, but try taking your mind off it if possible.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention: Class rank 87 out of 440 or so</p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>Not to get off track, but how do you take AP calc ab and AP calc bc in the same year?</p>

6

<p>I’d say High Reach. Don’t worry too much about it, hopefully we both get in :)</p>

<p>bjdkin, BC includes everything in AB doesn’t it? So taking BC is like taking both I assume. Some schools do AB in the first semester and BC in the second.</p>

<p>Thanks for the clarification Tubacalfaca. We must just label ours differently, as BC here is a full year course, and yes, it includes everything in AB (so you wouldn’t take both classes in the same year).</p>
