Assuming that you’re currently a junior-reach but there is a chance.

Son got in for Class of 2021 ED with about the same GPA, but you have the higher standardized test score and more ECs.

BTW love the user name. Given that 2 football teams left St. Louis…

I’m seconding @Hamurtle 's opinion. WashU’s definitely still a reach for you, but (Particularly considering you’re still a junior, and you’re going ED) it’s definitely an attainable reach. You’ve got great ECs and test scores, and your GPA is still pretty good. Best of luck!

You’re good to go.

I made it ED this year with way less ECs than you did, although i did have a higher GPA. WashU doesn’t seem to care that much though as long as you’re 3.7+ unweighted and do interesting stuff out of class. Your ACT score is fine. Apply ED1 and your chances go way up, although with your profile I think you could also shoot for schools like Rice ED and ED2 WashU, and still have a good chance. Entirely up to you.
