<p>Not gonna really chance you, since it’s such a crapshoot.</p>

<p>But on your question re. SAT score… your ACT superscore (which WashU does) is a 35. That’s equivalent to a 2300+. Honestly, don’t bother submitting any of your SAT scores - they shouldn’t hurt, but they’re not going to help your application.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the advice. I won’t be submitting my SAT scores then.</p>

<p>You have a very similar application to what I had last year (applied ED and accepted, now attending), but your unweighted GPA is higher. I had a similar SAT score to you and near-identical ACT scores, and I submitted my ACT scores and did not submit my SATs. Statistically, you look very, very good on paper, so I wouldn’t worry about that. Just focus on your essay and resume, since those are going to be the two factors that differentiate you from the other 35 3.84s applying.</p>

<p>Yeah I agree with the others about not sending your SAT. Your ACT superscored is equivalent to about a 2310~ SAT anyway! Everything else is pretty much on par of what it should be. You have a good chance getting in! Good luck mate!</p>
