HELP: My Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I want to apply to Washington University St Louis early, but I do not want to waste my only early application on a school I have no chance of getting into. I have to make this decision soon and am being really indecisive. Can you help? </p>

<p>My Statistics:
-I go to a relatively competitive private school in Florida- about 40 to a grade- our school does not rank.
- Unweighted gpa: 3.68
- Weighted gpa: 4.01
- Sat: 640 math, 800 reading, 680 writing- 2120 total
- AP's:
Language 4
Psychology 5
US History 4
Human Geo. 5
World History 4
Literature next year
European History next year
Almost all my classes where honors or AP
Extracurriculars
- Sports: played varsity lacrosse 3 out of 4 years
- Volunteer
Humane Society every week
Went to Japan to help with tsunami relief
- Clubs
Interact club 11th/ 12th grade
-Awards
AP scholar with distinction
Honor roll every year
-Extra Info.
I'm going to take the Sat's one more time before applying so hopefully my scores will be higher by that point. Also, my gpa is lower than I want, but it has gone up each year. Last year (11th grade) it was a 3.75uw.
Don't know if this makes a difference but I'm 25% Native American so can check that, as well as Caucasian, on the college app form. I'm not a member of the tribe, but my father is.</p>

<p>Thanks for helping!</p>

<p>Apply early I think it’s worth it. If you apply early it’s a high match/low reach for you. Chance back? <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1532897-linguistics-chances-updated.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1532897-linguistics-chances-updated.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>In order to be as competitive as you can, use first semester senior year to bump up your GPA a bit. Besides that, you’re a very qualified applicant. I agree that you should apply ED :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the posts!
P.S.
I also started book drive at my school in 11th/12th grade to collect books for local public schools that could not afford to supply their libraries. Forgot to add that to extracurricular list.</p>
