If you have a coach’s support and are a top recruit, then low reach. Although your AP scores are not that great compared to your ACT, which seems odd to be honest.

If you are considering pre-med, PNP is the easier path. You should be aware that Biology, Chemistry, and Math are really going to be tough at WashU. And given that your worst AP scores are in STEM classes, be prepared to work.

Thanks so much for the help! I did well in Chem/Physics during the year and got As in both classes. Physics I was not surprised by the three but for chem we had a substitute for 2 months at the end of the year so we did not do much review and missed covering the whole year. I feel like had the teacher not been out I would have scored at least a 3. Was a crazy junior year.
As for the coach, he said I was a strong academic candidate, but I am not sure what is going on as far as admissions. I never got a preread.

I wouldn’t send your AP scores since they don’t match well with your ACT score. Most students with a 35 composite would all all 4s and 5s on their AP tests.
