<p>If you’re Bob Dylan, you could get into whatever the heck you wanna get into.</p>

<p>IF you’re not, I’d say you have a good GPA “upward trend”, solid test scores, and pretty good ECs even though you were short of curing cancer. </p>

<p>Berkeley - match
Vanderbilt- probably in
Uchicago- depends on your essay and recs
UNC - match
Cornell- low reach
Brown- reach- not sure
MIT- reach</p>

<p>I’m only a student at Wash. U. so I don’t think I’m qualified to chance the other schools.</p>

<p>Your SAT scores are higher than mine when I entered two years ago. Unfortunately, every year SAT scores rise but you’re fine. </p>

<p>Grades and AP scores are fine.
My big worry for you are extracurriculars. There’s a bunch of them but I don’t see any leadership positions.</p>

<p>If you want WashU enough to be considering ED then here are a few tips. Visit if you can and do an interview. Show that you fit what WashU wants. If you can’t, do an alumni interview. If you are in the States, this shouldn’t be a problem.</p>

<p>WU=reach
but it has great programs for your intended majors. Friends of mine were engaged in research as soon as they stepped foot on campus.</p>
