<p>Too many national xyz honors society; I wouldn’t put all of them, looks like you’re padding your application with complete fluff. SAT could be better, GPA is good. I’d guess a typical ED rate is around 25-33% which I’d put you on the upper end of.</p>

<p>I agree with marc- it looks like complete fluff. If you do include it, do it in paragraph format, not a list; that will make it look better.</p>

<p>The way to push this is to really focus on what you’re good at - your community service angle, which is also something which WashU loves. Make damn sure you let your passion for that shine through (in an essay, or however).</p>
