<p>What are my chances at Wash U early. I know my test score is decent and my GPA is low but I know my extracurriculars are good. My essay is VERY good. I interviewed (went way over time and lots of fun, my interviewee has been emailing me about my blog), visited, did all of that stuff showing interest. It's my number one and would love to get in. Other options are Bowdoin, Macalester, and Kenyon. Should I look at an Ivy schools though?</p>
