<p>Stats are definitely low for WUSTL, but you have a lot of complicating factors that might mitigate that to some extent. Without seeing your entire file, it is impossible to really say anything meaningful otherwise, and even if we had the file what we think might not be at all what WUSTL thinks. Sorry, but these chance threads are actually pretty worthless, and your case is even more difficult to comment on.</p>

<p>Your GPA is low and ACT is average for WUSTL, but your ECs are great. So I think you still have an average chance to get in, I was looking at 2017 RD applicant pool and saw students get accepted with Stats like yours. If you have a passion to join WUSTL then show to WUSTL Admissions I am sure they will consider you. Good Luck</p>

<p>While your gpa is on the low side for wu, your act is average and your ec’s are fantastic. I would assume your essays were above average. You have a chance and I think your debate experience is a huge plus. Keep demonstrating interest. They are all about a diverse student body, and your ec’s certainly stand out. Good luck!</p>
