<p>WUSTL is somewhat of a reach for most everyone, but in your case, I think it’s a super reach because of your test scores, which fall out of their mid 50% range. Your EC also don’t really convey much depth, unless you haven’t really listed an activity into which you put a lot of your efforts. I think that to be a bit more competitive, your scores will need to improve.</p>

<p>Agreed with PsychoDad10. ACT/SAT are relatively low, and ECs aren’t too impressive. You’d need at least a 32 or 2150 to be a bit competitive.</p>
