<p>average EC's, i.e. nothing extraordinary

<p>SO? WHAT ARE MY CHANCES? supposing I applied ED2?
would my chances be the same if i applied RD?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot...</p>
<p>*for those not in the know, AS levels are one year courses whereas A levels are two year courses. However both A level courses and AS level courses lead to an A level diploma.</p>
<p>Show LOTS AND LOTS of interest. Frankly, i'm quite surprised that washU accepted me, much less, gave me a scholarship. :)</p>
<p>you visit a lot of times, contact them a lot, and you'll get in. Plus ur grades aren't too bad. :) Keep your hopes up. Getting into top schools isn't as difficult as you say.</p>
<p>thanks...
maybe i'll flood them with emails then, since i can't get to visit WU. lol
yea, and i forgot to mention, i'll need some aid too!</p>
<p>well don't give them the feeling you're crazy. :)</p>
<p>go to the financial aid office. I know when I got a Dean's Honorary Scholarship of 6000 dollars, it wasn't enough so i talked to the financial aid people and they boosted it by 4000. </p>
<p>But by this time, most of the scholarship money is gone tho...</p>
<p>if they accept me ED2, will they be obligated to give me all the money i need? well i mean in scholarships etc.</p>
<p>scholarships will only be given out in 6000 parcels unless you get some of the very rare other distinguished scholarships. :)</p>
<p>i'm not sure about early decision. Thats only if ur fanatical about WashU</p>
