<p>Hello, I plan on applying ED to WUSTL. I am a first generation college student, if that means anything.
Ethnicity: I am half Vietnamese, half Caucasian
Test Scores: ACT-29(30 superscored)
GPA:3.93 unweighted
School: very small public school in rural Missouri (most students do to community colleges)
Counselor Rec: ??
Teacher Rec: Probably good
Essay: About how the movie Harold and Maude was inspiring to me ( sounds strange but I think it works out well)
I've also applied to several scholarships to show interest and I've scheduled a interview. </p>

<p>Honors Classes: (I've practically taken all that are offered)
Dual Credit Biology
Dual Credit Human Biology
Dual Credit Spanish

<p>Volunteer Work:
58 hours of tutoring kids
54 Hours of volunteering at local food pantry
plus other misc. volunteer work.</p>

<p>Summer Job:
Biffle's Smokehouse (the worst two months of my life)
about 20 hours a week</p>

<p>Can you chance me based off of this? Does it help that I've showed a lot of effort coming from a small school, with not a lot of opportunities?</p>

<p>Your ACT is a bit low for WashU, even for ED. The rest of your application looks great, and having first generation, URM status, and small school with still a lot of clubs will definitely help you. (How involved are you in those ECs though? Are you just participating or actually contributing significant, such as in a leadership position?) You definitely show a lot of dedication, and taking the hardest workload will be a plus too. I’m not sure how the ACT works, but if it’s not too late, see if you can get a better ACT score. I say you have a decent to good chance, and a great chance if you can get that ACT score up.</p>

<p>Thank you!
:)</p>

<p>Yes, I am a participant in most of the activities i am a member of. I just listed the ones I am participating in this year, not from previous years. Some of them are quite time consuming, like student council for example. I have had leadership positions in FFA, Student Council, National Junior Honor Society, and FBLA. I also have a varsity letter in track, as well as the most improved award…haha</p>

<p>FYI I am pretty sure Wash U takes the October ACT into consideration for ED.</p>
