SAT I superscore: 2310 (CR 790, M 720, W800)
SAT II: Chemistry (730), Math II (780)
Unweighted GPA (out of 4.0): 3.96/4.0
Weighted GPA: like 4.65?
Rank (percentile if rank is unavailable): school does not rank.

Senior Year Course Load: AP Stat, AP ComputerProg 2, AP Physics B, Hon English 12, Intro to Engineering, Honors Modern World,Newspaper
Major Awards (USAMO, Intel etc.):
*no intel, but finalist (and runner up) in this prestigious annual competition in my area for businesses run by students under the age of 18.</p>

<p>Additional awards: AP Scholar with Honor, National Merit Commended, Honorable Mention essay prize in literary competition & published in the city magazine.</p>

<p>*I also create and manage websites for local businesses and organizations in my area</p>

<ul>
<li>I also do computer programming and created a comprehensive website with quiz questions (by unit) and a search engine of terms for students taking a certain AP class--i run a Business out of it and made a few thousand dollars from those who buy subscriptions to the website (national as well as local customers). The money is donated to charity. I was the finalist & runner-up in the prestigious area competition detailed above.</li>
</ul>

<p>-I also tutor struggling students in Government class, and i'm also a part-time language tutor.
[<em>] Teacher Recommendation #1: An old teacher (from sophomore year) who loves me for the website i created for his class (which his students also use!) and he offered to write me a rec! should be really very nice
[</em>] Teacher Recommendation #2: A science teacher from Junior year who likes me. Should be good. (AP Chem teacher)[<em>] Counselor Rec: should be okay/good.[</em>] Additional Rec: NIH private investigator i worked for during summer after junior year--should be pretty good =]</p>

it sucks that I'm applying as an Asian, but I am a
FEMALE interested in going for Engineering and Computer/Information Technology major in college (under-rep),</p>

<p>You should definitely get in.</p>

<p>^I can say with a good deal of certainty that you may get in but can not say that you will “definitely” get in… </p>

<p>Still a reach, based on your lowish SAT I math score of 720 and not having taken BC Calculus when your intended major is Engineering. Course rigor is a big factor in evaluating the overall strength of an applicant.</p>

<p>Sounds like some of the smaller [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org) schools might be a better match for your academics and test scores if you are interested in a tech school. Many of them have programs as strong as Wash U in your area of interest.</p>

<p>Nope, don’t think so…
i know where I want to go.</p>

<p>^if you really want to go to WashU, show your interest ;)</p>

<p>I’d caution that you need to have a good list of schools (reach, match, safety). I know a girl who got accepted to Stanford but wait listed at WashU last year.</p>
