<p>WashU is one of those schools that is a reach for everyone. They are one of the few schools the superscores the ACT, so your 35 superscored will certainly help. But if you look at the results threads on the WashU forum, you will see that students with those stats do get rejected or waitlisted. If WashU was your top choice school, and you applied ED, your odds would be better than applying RD.</p>
