<p>**Both my mother and father are successful alumnae. My father has been donating for many years. He works closely with some faculty in the business program (i.e., gets them jobs on Wall Street, etc.) My brother applied several years ago, was accepted, chose not to attend (he had lunch with the chancellor in the form of an "interview"). I plan to go for a visit or an interview (with my father), and hopefully I can meet with the school's chancellor as well.</p>
<p>I'm also Indian. Maybe that helps, maybe not.</p>
<p>Honestly, your GPA and SAT scores are very low for WashU, and your ECs don’t appear to be exceptional either. I don’t know how much weight WashU will place on its relationship with your parents, but I doubt it will be enough to gain you an acceptance.</p>
<p>I agree with Ryan. GPA and test scores are low. I also believe that the interview is for you only and not for your father to attend. I realize that he is an alum, but the interview is for you only.</p>
<p>I am sorry to say that even the goal of the SAT and GPA are not enough at all. Legacy counts but not enough to make up the difference. If more than million bucks are donated by parents, it may be possible.</p>
<p>Um… I am stating the obvious: you appear to be well connected (your own HS and parents, no less). Should they be better sources to chance you than us, who are totally strangers and not connected to the power that be?</p>
<p>Frankly, if your connections can somehow get you into the school, I am not sure if being a “below the curve” student would truly benefit you long term at Wash U. I work at the university and have seen some well off and connected students get into the school and then struggle academically once they are here and then end up transferring elsewhere. Just because you may have some connections to help you get accepted, it may not be the best fit for you and not necessarily in your best interest to attend. The idea is to find the school that is the best match for you and your qualifications, not to just go to the “best” school where you can be accepted.</p>
