<p>my dad went to wash u, active alum</p>

<p>comments, advice?</p>

<p>Your GPA is good and your ECs are strong, but your testing is real iffy. The 30 ACT - about a 1330 M+CR SAT score - while good for most other schools is below the 25th percentile for Wash U. You need to push your ACT up to at least a 32 (better, of course, is better). And not submitting any SAT2s...I know Wash U doesn't require them, but I don't think it will look very good. </p>

<p>I think your best bet is to push your ACTs higher, apply ED, make sure the admissions officers know you're a legacy, show lots of interest...and then make sure you have the apps from a bunch of other schools that you like almost as much ready to go. Most likely, you'll need them.</p>

<p>are you a current student? i heard the class of 2010 was really nerdy! is that true?! :)</p>

<p>The Class of 2010, according to many, is considered to be WashU's most talented entering class in recent memory. Unfortunately, no data has yet been released on the freshman class to my knowledge, but judging by my experiences here, the freshmen this year are quite bright.</p>

<p>Don't worry about the SAT II's--I didn't send any last year. Just work on getting the ACT score higher</p>

<p>I see you are from LI? What school?</p>
