What are my chances for WashU ED class of 2022? I would be grateful for any feedback, thank you.
Nationality - British
Ethnicity - Asian Indian
Income ~ 70k?
Intended degree - Physics

ACT - 34
SAT subject tests - Math II 800, Physics 800
Grades - Maths A, Further Maths A, Physics A, Chemistry A.
GPA - I used a conversion table and got around 3.8 to 4.

ECs:

  • 2 week research placement at a University in India, studying piezoelectricity and nanofibres
  • UK maths Olympiad from grades 6-11
  • UK physics Olympiad from grades 10-11
  • Cambridge Chemistry challenge grade 11
  • Play county badminton, have won regional tournaments. I train for 7 hours a week
  • Work as an assistant badminton coach, teach kids to play badminton.
  • Maths and Chemistry mentor for students lower down the school
  • Volunteer at a local Primary School as an assistant teacher, help struggling kids with their work.
  • School Prefect, duties include acting as a temporary librarian during free periods and doing tours and talks for prosperity parents and students visiting the school.
  • Duke of Edinburgh awards, basically doing a load of hikes spanning over multiple days.

I’ve got quite a few weaknesses, such as my ethnicity (ORM) and need for a substantial amount of financial aid :frowning: ECs are average, nothing brilliant, and teacher recommendations will also be average.

Thanks!

The test scores are awesome and your EC’s are great. I give you a great chance, assuming you mean Washington University, not Wash U St. Louis. If you do mean that then I give you an ok chance, based on your recs. Being international will help tho. Best of luck. Chance me back maybe?

Your ACT score is excellent–absolutely top level and will certainly help with admissions anywhere. The SATII scores are incredible as well. If you do in fact mean Washington University, I think you’ve got quite a strong chance, however, college admissions tend to not be simply numbers anymore, they want to fill a well-rounded class, and so things are very much so always up in the air no matter what for the students. A way you can increase your chances at this school would be to apply early decision, thus solidifying your interest in the school and giving you a leg-up with admissions.

Best of luck!
