<p>for pete’s sake. you were ranked 1 out of 500. with SAT 2320. what do you want me to tell you?</p>

3

<p>Thanks for the reply but I mean, it’s a really competitive institution. They don’t just look at the numbers right?</p>

<p>Whatever any school says, it always starts with the numbers.
Where exactly do you think you’re weak?
Keep up the good work and you’re in.</p>

5

<p>Thank you both for your kind assessment!
I guess now it’s a matter of whether my ECs are good enough.</p>

<p>Hmm…scary numbers to be sure (scary good)…
What I like about you is that you don’t make your ECs sound like a long obligatory list. This makes me think you like quality over quantity (I could be generalizing, but…)
To answer your question I think WUSTL is a match for you. Good luck =)</p>

<p>Cool thanks zenith
Anyone else?</p>

<p>My daughter’s a sophomore at WUSTL and she had 2300 SAT, 8 APs, and similar ECs, was number 2 in her class at a small private HS, I think you are most definitely WUSTL material! She loves Wash U, BTW. Good luck!</p>
